Lyrics
Hay cosas que no tienen razón ni sentido,
hay hechos que no tienen explicación...
Así, al conocerte, mi gran cariño,
sin ley ni motivo, de golpe nació.
Viniste a embarullarme la dulce existencia
pues yo sin tus engaños ya era feliz.
¡Parece mentira que, siendo tan linda,
guardés ese fondo tan bajo y tan ruin!

Te odio, maldita;
te odio como antes te adoré...
Dios quiera que un día volvieras a mí
buscando refugio, vencida, sin fe.
Entonces podría
cobrarme tu traición...
¡Es tanto lo que te odio
que al verte sufrir me vengaré!

Sabés que todavía no puedo explicarme
por qué placer maldito me hiciste mal,
si yo por tu cariño dejé a mi madre,
enferma, solita, sin techo, sin pan.
Has roto mi existencia. ¡Cobarde y rastrera!
¿Por qué voy a tenerte conmiseración?,
si cuando agonice será mi postrera
palabra una eterna, fatal maldición.
English translation
There are things that have no reason or sense,
there are facts that have no explanation...
So, when I met you, my great affection,
without law or reason, was suddenly born.
You came to muddle my sweet existence
because I was already happy without your deceptions.
It seems untrue that, being so beautiful,
you keep such a low and so mean background!

I hate you, damn you;
I hate you as I adored you before...
God willing, one day you'll come back to me
seeking refuge, defeated, without faith.
Then I could
I could then take my revenge for your betrayal...
I hate you so much
that by seeing you suffer I will take my revenge!

You know that I still can't explain to myself
for what damned pleasure you did me wrong,
if for your affection I left my mother,
sick, alone, homeless, without bread.
You have broken my existence, you cowardly and rascally coward!
Why should I have pity for you?
if when I die it will be my last word...
word an eternal, fatal curse.
