Lyrics of Besando la Cruz - Chavela Vargas

Besando la Cruz (original)

De que sirve querer, con todo el corazón
de que sirve cumplir un deber, respetando un amor
para mi todo eras tú, no hubo nadie jamás
eras todo pa' mi y besando esta cruz te lo puedo jurar
Tu eras el sopl y eras la luz que me alumbró
obscuridad eso eres tu con tu traición
me voy lejos, pero muy lejos de aquí
donde pueda olvidar,
de que sirve querer si tu amor ya perdí
y yo no encuentro la paz
Tu eras el sopl y eras la luz que me alumbró
obscuridad eso eres tu con tu traición
Me voy lejos, donde pueda olvidar,
de que sirve querer si tu amor ya perdí
y yo no encuentro la paz

(translation)

What's the use of loving, with all your heart
What is the use of fulfilling a duty, respecting a love
for me everything was you, there was no one ever
you were everything for me and kissing this cross I can swear to you
You were the blow and you were the light that illuminated me
darkness that is you with your betrayal
I'm going far, but very far from here
where I can forget
What's the point of loving if I've already lost your love
and I can't find peace
You were the blow and you were the light that illuminated me
darkness that is you with your betrayal
I'm going away, where I can forget,
What's the point of loving if I've already lost your love
and I can't find peace
