Las Cartas sobre la Mesa

The Cards on the Table

Las Cartas sobre la Mesa

She laid the cards on the table,Me puso las cartas sobre la mesa,
Since I met her,Desde que la conocí,
She said she doesn't believe in eternal loves,Me dijo no creo en amores eternos,
You shouldn't trust me.No debes confiar en mí.

My cowardly pride became brave,Mi orgullo cobarde se puso valiente,
And wanted to approach her like that,Y quiso entrarle así,
And seeing me so in love from the side,Y al verme de lado tan enamorado,
She decided it was better to leave.Mejor decidió partir.

Because she knew,Porque sabía,
Perfectly well that I loved her,Perfectamente que la quería,
That's why she left my life,Por eso se largó de mi vida,
That's why she didn't want to stay.Por eso no se quiso quedar.

Because she knew,Porque sabía,
Perfectly well that she would lose,Perfectamente que perdería,
If she stayed another day,Si se quedaba otro día,
She would never leave.No iba a largarse jamás.

I laid my dreams on the table,Le puse mis sueños sobre la mesa,
That gray morning,Aquella mañana gris,
I talked about the future, about a certain time,Le hablé del futuro, de un tiempo seguro,
But I didn't see her happy.Pero no la vi feliz.

Her brave pride became cowardly,Su orgullo valiente se puso cobarde,
And she didn't want to approach me like that,Y no quiso entrarle así,
And feeling scared and so in love,Y al verse asustada y tan enamorada,
She decided it was better to leave.Mejor decidió partir.

Because she knew,Porque sabía,
Perfectly well that I loved her,Perfectamente que la quería,
That's why she left my life,Por eso se largó de mi vida,
That's why she didn't want to stay.Por eso no se quiso quedar.

Because she knew,Porque sabía,
Perfectly well that she would lose,Perfectamente que perdería,
If she stayed another day,Si se quedaba otro día,
She would never leave.No iba a largarse jamás.

Because she knew,Porque ella sabía,
Perfectly well that I loved her,Perfectamente que la quería,
That's why she left my life,Por eso se largó de mi vida,
That's why she didn't want to stay.Por eso no se quiso quedar.

Because she knew,Porque ella sabía,
Perfectly well that she would lose,Perfectamente que perdería,
If she stayed another day,Si se quedaba otro día,
She would never leave.No iba a largarse jamás.
