Lyrics of Con la Mitad - José Alfredo Jiménez

Con la Mitad (original)

Con la mitad del cariño que yo te tengo
podrán hacerte feliz
con la mitad de los besos que yo te daba
la vida entera podrias vivir
Con que te quieran tantito nomas tantito
podrás salvar el dolor
de no quedarte en el mundo
con mucha pena con mucha angustia
y pidiendo amor
Pero sé que tú vas a pagar lo que debes
y me sales debiendo tanto
que con todas las cosas que tienes
no cubre la deuda que me esta matando
ME MATAS AMOR, ME MATAS!
Con la mitad de mi vida
ni media copa aqui me vengo a tomar
por esos años queridos
cuando en tus brazos
me fui enseñando a sufrir y amar
porque a pesar de tus cosas
que nunca sepas lo que es un cielo sin sol
ya que a pesar de tu infamia a dios le pido
te falte todo y te sobre amor
Pero sé que tú vas a pagar lo que debes
y me sales debiendo tanto
que con todas las cosas que tienes
no cubre la deuda que me esta matando

(translation)

With half the love that I have for you
they can make you happy
with half of the kisses that I gave you
the whole life you could live
With that they love you just a little bit
you can save the pain
of not staying in the world
with great sorrow with great anguish
and asking for love
But I know that you will pay what you owe
and you leave me owing so much
that with all the things you have
does not cover the debt that is killing me
YOU KILL ME LOVE, YOU KILL ME!
With half my life
not even half a glass here I come to drink
for those years dear
when in your arms
I was teaching myself to suffer and love
because despite your things
that you never know what a sky without sun is
since despite your infamy I ask God
you lack everything and you are over love
But I know that you will pay what you owe
and you leave me owing so much
that with all the things you have
does not cover the debt that is killing me
