Lyrics
Me sorprende tu manera de tratarme
y ese tono cariñoso con que hablás...
¡Quién diría que hace poco al amurarme
me mirabas sobre el hombro, tan altiva, tan mordaz!...
¡Quién te viera sin un resto de arrogancia!...
¡Se acabaron tu desprecio y tu desdén!...
Hoy, de vuelta, no te das esa importancia
que te dabas al hablarme de otra vida y de otro tren.

Hoy tengo el gusto de verte
volver como yo quería...
¡Mirá si yo lo sabía
que ni un momento dudé!...
Que el día menos pensado,
como una cosa resuelta
ibas a venir de vuelta
sin grupos... y no le erré.

¡Te lo juro!... Tuve ganas de vengarme.
Mi amor propio no entendía otra razón.
Fue un momento, pero pude serenarme
y me dije bien tranquilo... ¡Necesita un tropezón!
Necesita que la engrupan y que un día
se dé cuenta que vivió en un folletín;
que se encuentre sin cariño y en la vía
pa' que entienda que todo eso no fue más que un berretín.
English translation
I am surprised by the way you treat me
and that affectionate tone with which you speak...
Who would have thought that just a short while ago when you were
you were looking at me over your shoulder, so haughty, so biting!...
Who would have seen you without a trace of arrogance!....
No more contempt and disdain!...
Today, on your return, you don't give yourself that importance
that you used to give yourself when you spoke to me of another life and another train.

Today I have the pleasure of seeing you
come back as I wanted...
Look if I knew it
that I never doubted for a moment!...
That on the day you least thought
like a thing resolved
you were going to come back
without groups... and I didn't miss it.

I swear!... I felt like taking revenge.
My self-respect didn't understand any other reason.
It was a moment, but I was able to calm down
and I said to myself calmly... She needs to stumble!
She needs to be grouped together and that one day
she realizes that she has been living in a saga;
that she finds herself without love and on the road
so that she understands that all that was nothing more than a frolic.
