Lyrics
Decí, por Dios, ¿qué me has dao,
que estoy tan cambiao,
no sé más quien soy?
El malevaje extrañao,
me mira sin comprender...
Me ve perdiendo el cartel
de guapo que ayer
brillaba en la acción...
¿No ves que estoy embretao,
vencido y maniao
en tu corazón?

Te vi pasar tangueando altanera
con un compás tan hondo y sensual
que no fue más que verte y perder
la fe, el coraje,
el ansia 'e guapear.
No me has dejao ni el pucho en la oreja
de aquel pasao malevo y feroz...
¡Ya no me falta pa' completar
más que ir a misa e hincarme a rezar!

Ayer, de miedo a matar,
en vez de pelear
me puse a correr...
Me vi a la sombra o finao;
pensé en no verte y temblé...
¡Si yo, -que nunca aflojé-
de noche angustiao
me encierro a yorar!...
Decí, por Dios, ¿qué me has dao,
que estoy tan cambiao,
no sé más quien soy?
English translation
I said, for God's sake, what have you given me?
I'm so changed,
I don't know who I am anymore?
The strange evil one,
looks at me without understanding...
He sees me losing the sign
of handsome that yesterday
shone in the action...
Can't you see that I'm impoverished,
defeated and maniated
in your heart?

I saw you go tangoing past haughtily
with a rhythm so deep and sensual
that it was nothing more than seeing you and losing
faith, courage,
the eagerness to guapear.
You haven't even left me the fag in my ear
of that evil and ferocious past...
I don't need anything more to complete
more than going to mass and kneeling down to pray!

Yesterday, from fear of killing,
instead of fighting
I started to run...
I saw myself in the shadow or finao;
I thought of not seeing you and I trembled...
If I, -who never slackened-, -who never slackened-
at night in anguish
I shut myself up to weep!...
Say, for God's sake, what have you given me?
I'm so changed,
I don't know who I am anymore?
