Lyrics of Vieja Carta - Héctor Lavoé

Vieja Carta (original)

Hoy nuevamente tengo en mis manos
La vieja carta que hace diez aos
Con mil angustias te redact
Todas las penas que en ese tiempo
Por ti pasaban se reflejaban en esa carta
Que no mand
Yo la conservo como un recuerdo
De mis rencores, por tus despechos
Tu fuistes de otro yo de otro amor…
Y me pregunto qu hubieran sido
Nuestros amores de haberte tu enterado
Que en esa vieja carta yo te peda perdn…

(translation)

Today again I have in my hands
The old letter that ten years ago
With a thousand anguish I wrote you
All the sorrows that at that time
They passed through you and were reflected in that letter
I didn't send
I keep it as a souvenir
Of my grudges, for your spite
You were from another me, from another love...
And I wonder what they would have been
Our loves of having you found out
That in that old letter I asked your forgiveness...
