No la maldigas por Dios

No hay nada más triste que hundir en el barro
el nombre sagrado de alguna mujer,
los libros enseñan pero hay muchas cosas
que andando en la calle las vas a aprender.
Cuántos hay que han vuelto a lo despreciado,
cuántos se arrastraron pidiendo perdón,
ni siquiera pienses lo que estás diciendo
podés algún día, volver a su amor.

¡No la maldigas, por Dios!
No grités que ella fue mala,
pensá que acaso el culpable
de todo eso fuiste vos.
No la maldigas, por Dios
que aunque el rencor te taladre,
es mujer, puede ser madre
¡No! ¡No la maldigas, por Dios!

Ciego de venganza, no te importa nada
porque te han herido, vos querés matar,
no ves que en la vida que pronto se acaba
es dicha de pocos, pagar bien por mal.
Tras de cada noche espera un mañana
y un error no quita el derecho a vivir,
muy pronto otra boca curará tus males
y acaso vos mientas, la historia es así.

English translation

There is nothing sadder than to sink in the mud the sacred name of some woman
some woman's sacred name in the mud,
books teach but there are many things
that walking in the street you will learn.
How many there are who have returned to what they despised,
how many have crawled asking for forgiveness,
don't even think about what you are saying
you may someday return to their love.

Don't curse her, for God's sake!
Don't shout that she was bad,
think that maybe the guilty one
of all that was you.
Don't curse her, for God's sake
that even if rancor drills you,
she is a woman, she can be a mother
No! Don't curse her, for God's sake!

Blind with vengeance, you don't care about anything
because you've been hurt, you want to kill,
don't you see that in the life that is soon to be over
It is the joy of few, to pay good for evil.
After every night there waits a tomorrow
and a mistake does not take away the right to live,
very soon another mouth will cure your ills
and perhaps you lie, history is like that.
