| Por primera vez no metí ni las manos
| For the first time I didn't even put my hands
|
| Ni en defensa propia evité la caída
| Not even in self-defense did I avoid the fall
|
| Yo que anduve huyendo de un mundo de engaños
| I who was running away from a world of deceit
|
| Vine a dar de lleno a lo peor de la vida
| I came to give full to the worst of life
|
| La primera vez que te tuve en mis brazos
| The first time I held you in my arms
|
| Me decías llorando que no habías pecado
| You told me crying that you had not sinned
|
| Pero ya tenías no se cuántos fracasos
| But you already had I don't know how many failures
|
| Y querías borrar con mi amor tu pecado
| And you wanted to erase your sin with my love
|
| Ya tenías el rostro cubierto de besos
| You already had your face covered with kisses
|
| Y en tu ser las huellas que dejan las penas
| And in your being the traces that sorrows leave
|
| Si después de amarte te hicieron desprecio
| If after loving you they made you contempt
|
| Yo no he de pagar por las deudas ajenas
| I do not have to pay for the debts of others
|
| Te podría jurar que te amé con locura
| I could swear that I loved you madly
|
| Y jamás pense que llegara a perderte
| And I never thought that I would lose you
|
| Pero en vez de amores, me diste amarguras
| But instead of love, you gave me bitterness
|
| Y así como eres prefiero perderte
| And as you are I prefer to lose you
|
| Ya tenías el rostro cubierto de besos
| You already had your face covered with kisses
|
| Y en tu ser la huella que dejan las penas
| And in your being the imprint left by sorrows
|
| Si después de amarte te hicieron desprecio
| If after loving you they made you contempt
|
| Yo no he de pagar por las deudas ajenas | I do not have to pay for the debts of others |
