Lyrics
No te pido explicaciones
No me gustan las escenas,
¿Decís que vas a dejarme?
Andá, qué le voy a hacer.
Si es cierto que has de marcharte
Me causará mucha pena,
Mas prefiero esa franqueza
A un innoble proceder.
No me explico por qué causa
Decidiste dar tal paso,
Si ayer mismo me juraste:
“Sos el dueño de mi amor.”
¿Te ha cansado la pobreza?
¿Ya no me quieres, acaso?
O encontraste quien te quiera
Con más cariño y fervor.
 
Pensalo bien
Antes de dar ese paso,
Que tal vez mañana acaso
No puedas retroceder.
Pensalo bien,
Ya que tanto te he querido,
Y lo has echado al olvido
Tal vez por otro querer.
 
Te agradezco los momentos
Más felices de mi vida,
Yo sé que vos me trajiste
La luz en mi soledad.
Ya ciego corrí a tu encuentro
A descansar en tus brazos,
Y mis noches angustiosas
Con tu paz, las borré.
Es por eso que te imploro
De rodillas: “No te vayas.”
Más que nunca yo preciso
Las caricias de tu amor.
Escuchame... te suplico
Por mi viejita querida,
¡No te vayas!, Acordate
Que vos juraste por Dios.
English translation
I don't ask for explanations
I don't like the scenes,
Are you saying you're going to leave me?
Come on, what can I do?
If it's true that you have to leave
It will cause me a lot of grief,
But I prefer that frankness
To an ignoble proceeding.
I can't explain why
You decided to take such a step,
If only yesterday you swore to me:
"You are the master of my love."
Have you grown tired of poverty?
Do you no longer love me?
Or have you found someone who loves you
With more affection and fervor.
 
Think it over
Before you take that step,
That maybe tomorrow you won't be able
You may not be able to turn back.
Think it over,
Since I have loved you so much,
And you've forgotten it
Perhaps for another love.
 
I thank you for the happiest
The happiest moments of my life,
I know that you brought me
The light in my loneliness.
Already blind I ran to meet you
To rest in your arms,
And my anguished nights
With your peace, I erased them.
That is why I implore you
On my knees: "Do not go away."
More than ever I need
The caresses of your love.
Listen to me... I beseech you
For my dear old lady,
Don't go, remember
That you swore by God.
