La Sota de Copas
Miguel Aceves Mejía
The Jack of Cups
Around that bottle over there
Where I drank your love.
Someone kept it
I don't know why they want it
I already took the best of it.
The world is a bar
As big as the pain.
You gave me cups of kisses
Then you served contempt
I paid you with betrayal.
The cards of the deck
Have a lot of resemblance
With some people.
You are the jack of cups,
Very pretty barmaid,
But the customers leave you.
A path already traveled
Should not be walked again.
Listen well to what was told to you
A tree that grows crooked
Will never straighten.
A sky full of clouds
Does not let the sun through.
And that love I had for you
With all the pride you have
Did not reach your heart.
