Todo El Amor Que Te Di (Zamba)
Ruben Alberto Benegas
All the Love I Gave You (Zamba)
I thought I belonged to your world and your things
And I didn't know how ceremoniously far they were
Everything of yours didn't belong
To that world that foolishly I dreamed of
How happy I felt with your hair
With your face, that my hands flooded
But then came doves and cut the flight
That I was starting in your dreams
Perhaps, better this way, not to see you
Certainly far, at a distance
My things are so small in your world
That today I know mine doesn't reach you
I only have a bunch of silly rhymes
An anguish of love in the word
Tremendous desire to love you
And a goodbye attached to my guitar
All the love I gave you
Today I come to take it away
Like a weed from the garden
That's how I'm going to uproot you
And if I suffered now
I know you'll forget me
I feel no sorrow for you
Why should I deceive you?
You'll find, somewhere
Another being to play with
I'll look for, for myself
Another fence to sing to
If there's something of mine left with you
Girl, you can keep it
He who seeks another path
Has nothing to take
Better empty hands
For whatever I may find
You can say, if you want
That I didn't understand you
And if you want to judge me
Blame me
But don't tell anyone
Everything I gave you
And if I happen to cross
Your path again
You have to forget
How well you know me
Like a January rain
That's how I have to be
If there's something of mine left with you
Girl, you can keep it
He who seeks another path
Has nothing to take
Better empty hands
For whatever I may find
