No Me Quieras Tanto
Yo tenía viente años
Y él me doblaba la edad.
En mis seines había noche
Y en las suyas madrugada.
Antes que yo lo pensara
Mi gusto estaba cumplido;
Nada me faltaba con él,
Me quería con locura,
Con todos sus cinco sentidos.
Yo me dejaba querer.
Amor me pedía, como un pordiosero,
Y yo le clavaba,
Sin ver que sufría,
Cuchillos de acero.
No me quieras tanto,
Ni llores por mi;
No vale la pena
Que por mi cariño
Te pongas así.
Yo no se quererte lo mismo que tú,
Ni pasar la vida pendiente y esclava
De esa esclavitud.
No te pongas triste,
Sécate ese llanto
Hay que estar alegre.
Mírame y aprende.
No me quieras tanto.
Con los años y la vida
Ha cambiado mi querer,
Y ahora busco de sus labios
Lo que entonces desprecié.
Cegadita de cariño
Yo le ruego que me ampare,
Que me tenga caridad;
Se lo pido de rodillas, por la Gloria de su madre
Y no me sirve de nada.
Como una mendiga estoy a su puerta
Y con mis palabras mi pena castiga
Dejándome muerta.
No me quieras tanto,
Ni llores por mi;
No vale la pena
Que por mi cariño
Te pongas así.
Yo no se quererte lo mismo que tú,
Ni pasar la vida pendiente y esclava
De esa esclavitud.
No te pongas triste,
Sécate ese llanto
Hay que estar alegre.
Mírame y aprende.
No me quieras tanto.
De todo lo del mundo sería capaz
Con tal que el cariño que tú me tuviste
Volviera a empezar.
Por lo que más quieras,
Sécame esta llanto.
Maldigo la hora que yo a ti te dije:
¡No me quieras tanto!
Don't Love Me So Much
I was twenty years old
And he was twice my age.
In my breasts there was night
And in his there was dawn.
Before I even thought about it
My desire was fulfilled;
I lacked nothing with him,
He loved me madly,
With all his five senses.
I let myself be loved.
He asked for love, like a beggar,
And I stabbed him,
Without seeing his suffering,
With steel knives.
Don't love me so much,
Don't cry for me;
It's not worth it
For my affection
To make you like this.
I don't know how to love you the same way,
Nor spend my life waiting and enslaved
To that slavery.
Don't be sad,
Dry those tears
You must be happy.
Look at me and learn.
Don't love me so much.
With the years and life
My love has changed,
And now I seek from his lips
What I once despised.
Blinded by affection
I beg him to protect me,
To have mercy on me;
I ask him on my knees, for the glory of his mother
And it's of no use.
Like a beggar I am at his door
And with my words I punish my sorrow
Leaving myself dead.
Don't love me so much,
Don't cry for me;
It's not worth it
For my affection
To make you like this.
I don't know how to love you the same way,
Nor spend my life waiting and enslaved
To that slavery.
Don't be sad,
Dry those tears
You must be happy.
Look at me and learn.
Don't love me so much.
I would be capable of anything in the world
If the love you had for me
Would start again.
For the love of everything,
Dry these tears for me.
I curse the moment I told you:
Don't love me so much!
