El Cobarde
Miguel Aceves Mejía
The Coward
I'm tearing my soul apart
I know that by not looking at her
my heart is dying
Trying to console myself
drinking like a coward
who can no longer
handle his pain
Her absence is killing me
I can't keep dreaming
that one day
she'll come back to me
I want her to forgive me
to forget her grudges
not to remember
that I offended her
It doesn't matter what people say
that I have no courage in my soul
if they saw me brave in the fight
today see me coward
crying for love
Time keeps passing by
the air keeps telling me
that I shouldn't
see her again
And I, who love her so much
wish to calm my tears
but it's useless
it can't be
Pain as sad as mine
cannot exist or exist
and it's because I love her
with devotion
That's why I'm begging her
that's why I'm singing to her
what my heart
commands me.
