Cartas marcadas

Marked cards

Por todas las ofensas que me has hecho,

For all insults you did to me,

a cambio del dolor que me quedó,

in exchange for the pain that was left,

por las horas inmensas del recuerdo,

for the immense hours of the remembrance,

te quiero dedicar esta canción.

I want to dedicate this song to you.

Cantando no hay reproche que nos duela,

When I sing there’s no reproach that would hurt us,

se puede maldecir y bendecir.

you can both curse and bless.

Con música la luna se desvela, y el sol se le

With the music the moon keeps awake

hace tarde pa' salir.

and the sun is late when it wants to leave.

Ya no quiero llorar, ya no te espero,

I don’t want to cry, I don’t wait for you any longer,

ya quiero sonreír, quiero vivir.

now I want to smile, I want to live.

Si vamos a gozar, yo soy primero

If we are going to enjoy life, I’m the first one

y al son que yo les cante han de bailar.

and when I sing them they have to dance.

Pa' de hoy en adelante yo soy malo.

From now on I am the bad one.

Sólo cartas marcadas he de ver

I play just with the marked cards

y tú vas a saber que siempre gano.

and you will see that I will always win.

No vuelvas, que hasta ti te haré perder...

Don’t come back, ‘cause I will make lose even you...
