Canción desesperada [English translation]

I am a desperate song!

Leaf driven mad by the torrent

For your love, my disoriented faith

sunk destroying my heart.

I got lost within myself,

blind of crying for an illusion.

I am a obstinate question

shouting its pain and your betrayal.

Why

did they teach me to love

if it means dumping senseless

the dreams into the sea?

If love

is an old foe

that sparks punishment

and teaches to cry,

I ask, why?

Yes, why did they teach me to love

if in loving you, I killed my love?

Atrocious hoax of giving all for naught

and at the end of a good by, waking up crying.

Where was God when you went away?

Where was the sun that didn't see you?

How can a woman never understand

that a man gives everything giving his love?

Who makes them believe in other fortunes?

Who destroys like that so much illusion?

I am a desperate song

that shouts its pain and your betrayal!
