Amarguras
Los Tobas
Bitterness
Why am I alive? Why don’t I just die?
To live suffering, I want to die
They say that on the day I came to this world
My mother sighed, left me, and went away
My song is sorrow, my verses are pain
My voice is a lament, a punishment from God
With bitterness, my soul is full
For me, there’s no happy day or Christmas Eve
The night is clear just like the day
Shining brighter than ever, the three Marys
Star of the sky, why do you look at me?
Tell me, does it make you sad to see me cry?
For disappointments, no one’s like me
Harder than stone, my heart’s made of steel
With bitterness, my soul is full
For me, there’s no happy day or Christmas Eve
