Chacarera de Un Triste
Mercedes Sosa
Chacarera of a Sad One
Why do I want to live
With a broken heart
Why do I want life
After what you have done to me
I gave you my heart
Yours you gave me
With deceit towards mine
You tore it apart
Oh, why were you so cruel
When I expected your honesty
Why did you play with me
When I idolized you
I forgot about the world
Disappointments and bitterness
But what you did to me
Remains in my soul
There's no remedy, I know
Why should I cry
My soul is so broken
That it would be useless to search
Go on guitar, go on
Continue crying like me
Companion until death
Continue consoling my soul
I will go on singing
Very sad this chacarera
May it be that it brings me joy
In the moment of my death
