Lyrics
Sumando mentira tras mentira
Infamia tras infamia,
Mataste mi querer.
Me diste el horrible desencanto
De haber querido tanto
Lo que no pudo ser.
Ni siquiera te guardo encono
No te desprecio ni te perdono,
Dejaste tan sólo en mi existencia
La misma indiferencia
Que vos tuviste ayer.
 
Ciego...
Estaba ciego en mi delirio.
Ciego...
Porque este amor era un martirio.
Y ahora que cayó la venda de mis ojos
Me asqueo al recordar
Tus lindos labios rojos.
Ciego...
¡Bendita sea mi ceguera!
Si al fin...
Saltó la venda y vi que eras
Una vulgar muñeca de cartón.
 
Comprendo tal vez un poco tarde
Mis celos de cobarde
Mi angustia y mi temor.
Pensaba que cuando te perdiera
La vida misma diera
En aras de mi amor.
Pero veo que no me muero
Que estoy contento, que no te quiero,
Y en medio de tanta indiferencia
La luz de la experiencia
Me alumbra el corazón.
English translation
Adding lie after lie
Infamy after infamy,
You killed my love.
You gave me the horrible disenchantment
Of having wanted so much
What could not be.
I don't even hold a grudge against you
I neither despise nor forgive you,
You left only in my existence
The same indifference
That you had yesterday.
 
Blind...
I was blind in my delirium.
Blind...
Because this love was a martyrdom.
And now that the blindfold has fallen from my eyes
I'm sickened at the memory
Your pretty red lips.
Blind...
Blessed be my blindness!
If at last...
The blindfold came off and I saw that you were
A common cardboard doll.
 
I understand perhaps a little late
My cowardly jealousy
My anguish and my fear.
I thought that when I lost you
I would give my life itself
For the sake of my love.
But I see that I am not dying
That I am happy, that I do not love you,
And in the midst of so much indifference
The light of experience
Lightens my heart.
