Un Caballero

A Gentleman

Un Caballero

I know it was always meSé que siempre fui yo
Nightingale, you the roseRuiseñor tu la rosa
Of your cruel betrayalDe tu cruel traición
Bogota found outSe entero Bogota
Without slandering meSin calumnias por mí
I don't resort to such thingsNo recurro a tal cosa
I will have compassionYo tendré compasión
I will disguise the truthMaquillaré la verdad

I would like to distance myselfYo quisiera alejarme
And test my eyesY poner a prueba mis ojos
And make sure that my tearsY asegurar que mi llanto
You are not worthy of seeingNo serás digna de ver
I am a gentlemanYo soy un caballero
By conviction and your plunderPor convicción y tú despojo
That agony has already calmed downYa calmó esa agonía
Of loving youDe quererte querer

You wanted to distance yourselfTu quisiste alejarte
And test my lifeY poner a prueba mi vida
With elegance, a woundCon elegancia una herida
You painted on me like a brushPintaste en mí cual pincel

I am a gentlemanYo soy un caballero
Your hummingbird with red lipsTu picaflor labios rojos
You enjoy my agonyDisfrutas con mi agonía
Of loving youDe quererte querer

It doesn't matterDa igual
What people sayLo que diga la gente
Today I am indifferentHoy me es indiferente
Let them make fun of meQue se burlen de mí
Buenos Aires without youBuenos Aires sin tí
Today looks differentHoy se ve diferente
The love of its peopleEl amor de su gente
Today I avoid sufferingHoy me evitar sufrir

It doesn't matterDa igual
I will be a gentlemanYo seré un caballero
I will be even if I dieLo seré si me muero
And from the day I was bornY desde el día en que nací
When they talk to me about youCuando me hablen de tí
I tip my hatYo me quito el sombrero
And without a doubt I preferY sin duda prefiero
To be a gentleman than to make you sufferSer un caballero que hacerte sufrir

You wanted to distance yourselfTu quisiste alejarte
And test my lifeY poner a prueba mi vida
With elegance, a woundCon elegancia una herida
You painted on me like a brushPintaste en mí cual pincel
I am a gentlemanYo soy un caballero
Your hummingbird with red lipsTu picaflor labios rojos
You enjoy my agonyDisfrutas con mi agonía
Of loving youDe quererte querer
