Lyrics of Ay de ti, ay de mí - Luis Eduardo Aute

Ay de ti, ay de mí (original)

Y yo que estaba de vuelta
de todas las idas
con el alma herida
te quiero, ya ves.
Seré lo que tú prefieras
tu luz o tu sombra
o acaso una alfombra
besando tus pies.
Ay de ti, ay de mí,
ni tú ni yo somos culpables:
infelices locos que caímos en este amor
que es un error
imperdonable,
ay de ti, ay de mí.
Y tú que siempre decías
ser inteligente
no como esa gente
que muere de amor.
Así sabrás que la rosa
es rosa por bella
y no porque en ella
respire una flor.
Ay de ti, ay de mí.
La vida es la consentida,
feroz dictadura
de una criatura
que juega a mandar.
Ni tú ni yo somos nadie,
ni hacemos historia
pues somos la escoria
que aun puede quemar.

(translation)

And I was back
of all the goings
with a wounded soul
I love you, you see.
I will be what you prefer
your light or your shadow
or maybe a rug
kissing your feet
Woe to you, woe to me,
neither you nor I are to blame:
unhappy crazy people who fell into this love
What is an error
unforgivable,
woe to you, woe to me.
And you who always said
be smart
not like those people
who dies of love
So you will know that the rose
it's pink because it's beautiful
and not because in it
breathe a flower
Woe to you, woe to me.
Life is consented
fierce dictatorship
of a creature
who plays command.
Neither you nor I are nobody,
we don't even make history
well we are the scum
that can still burn.
