Mi Dolor (Tango)

I return from distant lands where yesterday
I went to seek forgetfulness for my pain
Consolation for the soul that suffered, believing
In the deceptions and promises of love
Heading towards oblivion, which is a balm for suffering
I left carrying in my bitterness
The cruel memory of the happiness
That I once believed to live with you

I
Slave of your heart
And to your whims I yielded
And you repaid me with betrayal
Today, my soul healed from its wound
I think I will never return
To beg for your love

Because where I went
To forget my sorrows
I experienced love
Its delights to the point of intoxication
My pain was healed
My passion only gave
The senses to love
But my soul kept
Its purity intact
And soon it began
To forget its sorrows

But today I saw you pass by my side
My heart beat so fast
That wound I thought I had healed
In your sight suddenly reopened
For neither the caresses nor the forgetfulness
Were enough to calm my pain
Once again I suffer for being loved
And today, like back then, I am a slave to your love
