Nunca me quisieras te he suplicado
fue porque me querías que te he querido...
No ha sido culpa mía si te he olvidado
¡que de tu olvido sólo nació mi olvido!

¡Por ti de Dios me olvidé
por ti la fe yo perdí
y por ti me quedaré
sin fe sin Dios y sin ti!

Por un cariño un día te di un cariño
por sólo un beso tuyo, mil te ofrendaba...
Era mi vida frágil como el armiño
igual que aquella dicha que acariciaba!

No sé por qué me juras que me has querido
si cuando te quería no lo has jurado...
¿Cómo puedo creerte que no has mentido
si no te he merecido... ¡ni ese pecado!

English translation

You never loved me I begged you
It was because you loved me that I loved you...
It was not my fault if I forgot you
that from your forgetfulness only my forgetfulness was born!

Because of you I forgot God
because of you I lost my faith
and because of you I will remain
without faith without God and without you!

For a sweetheart one day I gave you a sweetheart
for just one kiss from you, I offered you a thousand...
My life was as fragile as ermine
just like that happiness that I caressed!

I do not know why you swear that you loved me
if when I loved you you didn't swear it...
How can I believe you that you have not lied
if I didn't deserve you... nor that sin!
