Before the Altar You Swore to Me

Camarón de La Isla

Ante El Altar Me Juraste

Ante el altar me juraste
que nunca me olvidarías.
Y faltaste al juramento
cuando más falta hacía.

Ven y siéntate a mi vera
y cuéntame a mí tus penas
que cuando escuches las mías
verás como te consuelas.

Que no me quieres pa na
y lágrimas se te caen
cuando me ves pasar.

Mujer, tú porque no cambias
de tu manera de ser.
Gozas con verme sufrir,
con llevarme la contraria
y no me dejas vivir.

Anda vete de mi vera
que no quiero na contigo,
que tienes alma de fiera.

Anda vete de mi vera
que no quiero na contigo
por ser mala compañera.

Before the Altar You Swore to Me

Before the altar you swore to me
that you would never forget me.
And you broke the oath
when I needed you the most.

Come and sit by my side
and tell me your sorrows
because when you hear mine
you will see how you find comfort.

You don't want me at all
and tears fall from your eyes
when you see me pass by.

Woman, why don't you change
your way of being.
You enjoy seeing me suffer,
opposing me,
and not letting me live.

Go away from my side
I don't want anything to do with you,
you have the soul of a beast.

Go away from my side
I don't want anything to do with you
for being a bad companion.
