Mala suerte

Our love is over, you told me coldly,
I thought to myself, maybe he's right,
I thought about it and I left you alone, alone and master of your life,
while with my conscience I played with my heart.

And I closed my eyes tightly, and pressed my lips tightly together,
so as not to see you, so as not to talk to you, so as not to shout goodbye.
and slowly I went to the bar on the corner to drown with four drinks what could have been your love.

I couldn't promise you
to change the life I lead
because I was born a skull
and that's how I'll die.
I'm a party animal,
the coffee, the boys,
and wherever there is a milonga
I can't be without going.

You know how I have been,
you know well how I have thought,
of my crazy worries,
of my eagerness to wander.
Bad luck if I lose you today,
Bad luck if I walk alone,
I'm to blame for everything
since I can't change.

Because I know that my life is not a model life,
because he who has affection, to affection must be given,
and I am like the goldfinch, that even being in a golden cage, in its song always cries the desire to fly...

I have had bad luck, but frankly speaking,
I remain grateful to you, you have been my bride and my wife;
If life has to rush me with rigors someday,
you can be sure that I will remember you!
