Encrucijada
En la encrucijada de un viejo querer
Estoy amarrada, muriendo de sed
En la encrucijada de otro nuevo amor
Estoy deseada y digo que no
Quién tiene derecho, no me importa nada
Y el que está en acecho me tiene ganada
De noche, en silencio, me entrego a morir
Pensando en el otro deseo vivir
Qué te pasa, dice, que te vuelves loca
Y, por no decirle que pienso en el otro, me muerdo la boca
El pobre se alegra de verme feliz
Y el otro se piensa que, porque me acosa, me hace sufrir
Y en la encrucijada de este doble amor
Los dos se equivocan, porque la engañada sigo siendo yo
Al que está mirando debo de decirle
Que le estoy amando, pero, pero es imposible
Y al que ya no amo, le confesaré
Que, aunque esté en sus manos, no vivo para él
Qué te pasa, dice, que te vuelves loca
Y, por no decirle que pienso en el otro, me muerdo la boca
El pobre se alegra de verme feliz
Y el otro se piensa que, porque me acosa, me hace sufrir
Y en la encrucijada de este doble amor
Los dos se equivocan, porque la engañada sigo siendo yo
Qué me pasa, dice, pero, pero, ¿es que estás ciego?
¿No ves que por otro me muero, me muero?
Déjame en silencio, no, no preguntes nada
Ya no tengo fuerzas pa' seguir callada
Qué me pasa, dice, que me vuelvo loca
Y por no decirte que pienso en el otro
Me muerdo la boca
Crossroads
At the crossroads of a love that's grown old
I'm bound and shackled, dying of thirst
At the crossroads of a brand-new love
I'm wanted, desired, yet still I say no
The one who has my right, I no longer care
The one who lies in wait has already won me there
At night, in silence, I surrender to die
Dreaming of the other, I long to be alive
What's wrong with you? He says, you're going insane
And rather than tell him the other's on my mind, I bite my lip in pain
The poor man, he rejoices whenever I seem happy
While the other thinks his constant pursuit is what makes me suffer sadly
And at the crossroads of this double love
Both of them are mistaken, for I'm still the one deceived
To the one who's watching, I should confess
That I am in love with him, but there's no way, no way this can be
And to the one I no longer love, I'll finally reveal
That though he holds me in his hands, my heart is not his to keep
What's wrong with you? He says, you're going insane
And rather than tell him the other's on my mind, I bite my lip in pain
The poor man, he rejoices whenever I seem happy
While the other thinks his constant pursuit is what makes me suffer sadly
And at the crossroads of this double love
Both of them are mistaken, for I'm still the one deceived
What's wrong with me? He asks, but are you blind, can't you see?
Can't you see I'm dying, dying for somebody else?
Leave me here in silence, no, don't ask me anything
I haven't any strength left to keep concealing everything
What's wrong with you? He says, you're going insane
And rather than tell you the other's on my mind
I bite my lip again
