Translation of the song lyrics Te juro - Ricardo Arjona

Te juro (original)

Te juro que es verdad esta mentira
Si no me crees te lo podría jurar
Perdóname mil veces cuando diga
Te juro que no volveré a jurar
Te juro que esta vez te soy sincero
Te juro que te acabo de mentir
A veces se precisa un embustero
Que diga lo que tú quieres oír
Te juro, te juro
Te juro por los santos sacrificios
Que mentir será mi oficio, si es lo que quieres oír
Te juro, te juro
Te juro que te miento cuando juro
Aunque fuiste tú, lo juro, la que me enseño a mentir
Detrás de cada estafa hay un testigo
Detrás de cada historia, una ficción
Tu sabes cuando miento y de castigo
Me haces creer que tengo la razón
Yo nunca te mentí para engañarte
Te juro que no miento por mentir
Te juro que te juro pa' salvarte
De no perder el tiempo en discutir
Te juro, te juro
Te juro por los santos sacrificios
Que mentir será mi oficio, si es lo que quieres oír
Te juro, te juro
Te juro que te miento cuando juro
Aunque fuiste tú, lo juro, la que me enseño a mentir
Jamás hay sombra sin luz
Todo principio un día expira
No hay esperanza sin blues
Y no hay verdad sin mentira…
Te juro, te juro
Te juro por los santos sacrificios
Que mentir será mi oficio, si es lo que quieres oír
Te juro, te juro
Te juro que te miento cuando juro
Aunque fuiste tú, lo juro, la que me enseño a mentir

(translation)

I swear to you that this lie is true
If you don't believe me, I could swear
Forgive me a thousand times when I say
I swear I will not swear again
I swear that this time I'm honest
I swear I just lied to you
Sometimes you need a trickster
Say what you want to hear
I swear to you, I swear to you
I swear to you by the holy sacrifices
That lying will be my trade, if that's what you want to hear
I swear to you, I swear to you
I swear I lie to you when I swear
Although it was you, I swear, the one who taught me to lie
Behind every scam there is a witness
Behind each story, a fiction
You know when I lie and punish
You make me believe that I'm right
I never lied to you to deceive you
I swear I'm not lying for lying
I swear I swear to save you
Not to waste time arguing
I swear to you, I swear to you
I swear to you by the holy sacrifices
That lying will be my trade, if that's what you want to hear
I swear to you, I swear to you
I swear I lie to you when I swear
Although it was you, I swear, the one who taught me to lie
There is never a shadow without light
Every beginning one day expires
no hope without blues
And there is no truth without lies...
I swear to you, I swear to you
I swear to you by the holy sacrifices
That lying will be my trade, if that's what you want to hear
I swear to you, I swear to you
I swear I lie to you when I swear
Although it was you, I swear, the one who taught me to lie
