Por quererte te perdi

Quiero alzarme entre las ruinas
y reírme del dolor.
¡Qué me importa que me digan
que no tengo corazón!
Ves qué has hecho de mi vida,
de mis sueños, de mi fe,
de esas cosas tan queridas,
de esa dicha que forjé.
Nada, nada te faltaba,
todo, todo te lo di.
Mi cariño te cansaba,
por quererte te perdí.

Yo no quiero vivir sufriendo,
pero dónde he de ir sin ti.
Bien sabes que preciso tus caricias,
tus palabras, tus mentiras,
que me ayuden a vivir.
Yo debiera quererte de otro modo,
pero no puede ser, yo soy así.
Y si volvieras te daría todo, todo,
y fatalmente volverías a mentir.

Quiero alzarme entre las ruinas
y librarme de tu amor.
Pero sos mi propia vida,
sos mi propio corazón;
sos el mismo fatalismo
que me ata a tu pasión.
Y serás también abismo
de mi única ilusión.
Con el alma desgarrada,
una noche comprendí,
que yo mismo te alejaba...
¡Por quererte te perdí!

English translation

I want to rise among the ruins
and laugh at the pain.
I don't care if they tell me
that I have no heart!
You see what you have made of my life,
of my dreams, of my faith,
of those things so dear to me,
of that joy I forged.
Nothing, nothing you lacked,
everything, everything I gave you.
My affection tired you,
for loving you I lost you.

I don't want to live suffering,
but where will I go without you.
You well know that I need your caresses,
your words, your lies,
that help me to live.
I should love you differently,
but it can't be, that's the way I am.
And if you came back I'd give you everything, everything,
and fatally you would return to lie.

I want to rise among the ruins
and free myself from your love.
But you are my own life,
you are my own heart;
you are the same fatalism
that binds me to your passion.
And you will also be the abyss
of my only illusion.
With my soul torn apart
one night I understood,
that I myself was pushing you away...
For loving you I lost you!
