Ayer Me Contaron
Lo que ahora sufro no lo había sufrido,
ayer me contaron lo que tú me has hecho,
ayer desgarraron el alma en mi pecho
y quedé llorando tu desleal olvido.
No han sido tus actos ni lo sucedido
lo que me ha dejado el juicio deshecho;
tampoco pretendas que ha sido el despecho:
ha sido la pena de haberte perdido.
Tú no me has herido como ellos lo hicieron;
al ver que te amaba llegaron contando
que me has engañado... ¿por qué lo dijeron?
¡Malditos mil veces por ir pregonando!
¡Malditos mil veces, pues ya me prohibieron
la dicha infinita de seguirte amando!
Yesterday They Told Me
What I now suffer I had not suffered before,
yesterday they told me what you have done to me,
yesterday they tore apart the soul in my chest
and I was left crying your disloyal forgetfulness.
It has not been your actions or what happened
that has left my judgment shattered;
don't pretend it was spite either:
it was the pain of having lost you.
You have not hurt me like they did;
upon seeing that I loved you, they came telling
that you have deceived me... why did they say it?
Cursed a thousand times for going around proclaiming!
Cursed a thousand times, for they have already forbidden me
the infinite joy of continuing to love you!
