Translation of the song lyrics Verdad Amarga (Bitter Truth) - Linda Ronstadt

Verdad Amarga (Bitter Truth) (original)

Yo tengo que decirte la verdad
Aunque me parta el alma
No quiero que después me juzgues mal
Por pretender callarla
Yo sé que es imposible nuestro amor
Porque el destino manda
Y tú sabrás un día perdonar
Esta verdad amarga
Te juro por los dos
Que me cuesta la vida
Que sangrará la herida
Por una eternidad
Tal vez mañana puedas comprender
Que siempre fui sincera
Tal vez por alguien llegues a saber
Que todavía te quiero
Te juro por los dos
Que me cuesta la vida
Que sangrará la herida
Por una eternidad
Tal vez mañana puedas comprender
Que siempre fui sincera
Quizá por alguien llegues a saber
Que todavía te quiero
Verdad Amarga
(Bitter Truth)
I have to tell the truth
Even if it breaks my heart
I don’t want to be misjudged later
For trying to conceal it
I know our love is impossible
Because it is our destiny
And one day you’ll be able to pardon
This bitter truth
I swear
That it’s costing me my life
That this wound will bleed
For an eternity
Maybe later you might understand
That I was always sincere
Perhaps someone will help you see
That I still love you

Verdad Amarga (Bitter Truth) (translation)

I have to tell you the truth
Although it breaks my soul
I don't want you to judge me badly later
for pretending to shut her up
I know that our love is impossible
because fate commands
And you will know one day to forgive
this bitter truth
I swear to both of you
that life costs me
That the wound will bleed
for an eternity
Maybe tomorrow you can understand
that I was always sincere
Maybe for someone you will get to know
that I still love you
I swear to both of you
that life costs me
That the wound will bleed
for an eternity
Maybe tomorrow you can understand
that I was always sincere
Maybe for someone you will get to know
that I still love you
bitter truth
(Bitter Truth)
I have to tell the truth
Even if it breaks my heart
I don't want to be misjudged later
For trying to conceal it
I know our love is impossible
Because it is our destiny
And one day you'll be able to pardon
This bitter truth
I wear
That it's costing me my life
That this wound will bleed
For an eternity
Maybe later you might understand
That I was always sincere
Perhaps someone will help you see
That I still love you
