La Media Pena
Mercedes Sosa
Half the Pain
If a pain is half the pain
Why bother considering it
It only reaches me one way
And I'm missing the way back
But why bother considering it
Let my heart not think
That I'm going to find another
I just want the pain
Not to walk with us
But I'm not going to find another
Short verse and who cares
When I sing, I forget
Oh if my pain could
Do the same with me
This verse is short
And who cares
Let my heart not think
That I have to do what it tells me
If it wants bigger pains
Let it only get them
But I won't do what it tells me
There's always a path
Where pains don't go
And some verses inside oneself
That make them seem distant
But there's always some pain left
