Las Cartas sobre la Mesa
Raúl Ornelas
The Cards on the Table
She laid the cards on the table,
Since I met her,
She said she doesn't believe in eternal loves,
You shouldn't trust me.
My cowardly pride became brave,
And wanted to approach her like that,
And seeing me so in love from the side,
She decided it was better to leave.
Because she knew,
Perfectly well that I loved her,
That's why she left my life,
That's why she didn't want to stay.
Because she knew,
Perfectly well that she would lose,
If she stayed another day,
She would never leave.
I laid my dreams on the table,
That gray morning,
I talked about the future, about a certain time,
But I didn't see her happy.
Her brave pride became cowardly,
And she didn't want to approach me like that,
And feeling scared and so in love,
She decided it was better to leave.
Because she knew,
Perfectly well that I loved her,
That's why she left my life,
That's why she didn't want to stay.
Because she knew,
Perfectly well that she would lose,
If she stayed another day,
She would never leave.
Because she knew,
Perfectly well that I loved her,
That's why she left my life,
That's why she didn't want to stay.
Because she knew,
Perfectly well that she would lose,
If she stayed another day,
She would never leave.
