Translation of the song lyrics Cicatrices - Carlos Gardel

Cicatrices (original)

Cicatrices,
Incurables de una herida
Que me ha causado la vida
En su triste batallar.
Cicatrices,
Que ya no se cierran nunca
Porque llevan siempre trunca
La esperanza de curar.
La queria inmensamente,
Pero ella fue perjura
Y lleno de honda amargura
Y de pena mi ilusin.
Es por eso que ahora vivo
Siempre a golpes con la suerte,
Y solo quiero la muerte
Para mi angustiado y pobre corazn.
En la cara
Tambin luzco con orgullo
Un recuerdo que es muy tuyo
Y que llevo por mi mal.
Un recuerdo
Que me hicieron en tu nombre,
Cuando yo jugue como hombre
Con la vida del rival.
Cicatrices imborrables
De un tormentoso pasado
Que la suerte me ha brindado
Y que nunca perdere.
Cicatrices de mi vida
Que aunque no tienen encanto
Yo las quiero tanto y tanto
Que jams ya nunca olvidare.

(translation)

scars,
Incurable from a wound
that life has caused me
In her sad battle of her.
scars,
that never close anymore
Because they always carry trunca
The hope of healing.
I loved her immensely
But she was perjured
And full of deep bitterness
And of pity my illusion.
That's why I live now
Always at odds with luck,
And I just want death
For my anguished and poor heart.
In the face
I also wear with pride
A memory that is very yours
And what do I carry for my bad.
A memory
What they did to me in your name,
When I play as a man
With the life of the rival.
indelible scars
From a stormy past
that luck has given me
And that I will never lose.
scars of my life
That although they have no charm
I love them so much and so much
That I will never forget.
