Lyrics of Yo - José Alfredo Jiménez

Yo (original)

Ando borracho, ando tomado
Porque el destino cambi mi suerte
Ya tu cario nada me importa
Mi corazn te olvid pasiempre
Fuiste en mi vida un sentimiento
Que destroz toditita mi alma
Quise matarme por tu cario
Pero volvi a recobrar la calma
Yo, yo que tanto llor por tus besos
Yo, yo que siempre te ame sin medida
Hoy, solo puedo brindarte desprecios
Yo, yo que tanto te quise en la vida
Una gitana ley en mi mano
Que con el tiempo me adorarias
Esa gitana ha adivinado
Pero tu vida ya no es la ma
Hoy mi destino lleva otro rumbo
Mi corazn se qued muy lejos
Si ahora me quieres
Si ahora me extraas
Yo te abandono pa estar parejos
Yo, yo que tanto llor por tus besos
Yo, yo que siempre te ame sin medida
Hoy, solo puedo brindarte desprecios
Yo, yo que tanto te quise en la vida

(translation)

I'm drunk, I'm drunk
Because fate changed my luck
Now your love, nothing matters to me
my heart forgot you forever
You were in my life a feeling
That destroyed my whole soul
I wanted to kill myself for your love
But I regained my composure
I, I who cried so much for your kisses
I, I who always loved you without measure
Today, I can only give you contempt
I, I who loved you so much in life
A gypsy law in my hand
That in time you would adore me
That gypsy has guessed
But your life is no longer mine
Today my destiny takes another course
my heart stayed far away
if you want me now
if you miss me now
I abandon you to be even
I, I who cried so much for your kisses
I, I who always loved you without measure
Today, I can only give you contempt
I, I who loved you so much in life
