Lyrics
Desde hace tiempo te noto triste,
ronda el silencio, llora el amor.
Como un reproche por lo que fuiste
grabado a fuego en tu corazón.
Ya muchas veces bajás la frente
cuando en mis brazos te refugias,
como temiendo que de repente,
tu pobre dicha no encuentres más.

Qué me importa tu pasado,
no llorés, mi buena amiga.
No es un crimen ser golpeado
ni es delito haber rodado
en las vueltas de la vida.
Qué me importa tu pasado,
si yo que nunca guapeé,
si te ofende algún cobarde,
te lo juro por mi madre,
me juego donde me ve.

No tengas miedo, soy de una pieza,
no me interesa lo que dirán.
Que nos importan las cosas viejas,
las viejas sombras que ya no están.
Tus ojos miran y están perdidos,
estás cansada de tanto andar.
Pero a mi lado siempre habrá un nido
y un pecho amigo donde llorar.
English translation
For a long time I have felt you sad,
silence hovers, love cries.
Like a reproach for what you were
engraved with fire in your heart.
You've lowered your forehead many times
when you take refuge in my arms
as if fearing that suddenly
your poor happiness will find no more.

What do I care about your past,
don't cry, my good friend.
It is not a crime to be beaten
nor is it a crime to have rolled
in the twists and turns of life.
What do I care about your past
if I, who never mocked you,
if you are offended by some coward,
I swear by my mother,
I'll play where he sees me.

Don't be afraid, I'm in one piece,
I don't care what they'll say.
What do we care about the old things,
the old shadows that are gone.
Your eyes are looking and they are lost,
you're tired of so much walking.
But by my side there will always be a nest
and a friendly breast to cry on.
