Cartas Marcadas
Chavela VargasLyrics
Translation
Por todas las ofensas que me has hecho,
For all the offenses you have done to me,
A cambio del dolor que me quedó,
In exchange for the pain that remained with me,
Por las horas inmensas del recuerdo,
For the immense hours of memory,
Te quiero dedicar esta canción.
I want to dedicate this song to you.
Cantando no hay reproche que nos duela,
Singing, there is no reproach that hurts us,
Se puede bendecir o maldecir,
We can bless or curse,
Con música la luna se desvela, y el sol se le
With music, the moon stays awake, and the sun
Hace tarde pa' salir.
It's too late to go out.
Ya no quiero tu amor, ya no te espero,
I no longer want your love, I no longer wait for you,
Ya quiero sonreir, quiero vivir,
I want to smile now, I want to live,
Si vamos a gozar, yo soy primero,
If we are going to enjoy, I am the first,
Al son que yo les toque han de bailar.
To the rhythm I play, they must dance.
Pa' de hoy en adelante yo soy malo,
From today on, I am bad,
Solo cartas marcadas has de ver,
Only marked cards you will see,
Y tu vas a saber que siempre gano,
And you will know that I always win,
No vuelvas, que hasta ti te haré perder
Don't come back, because even with you, I will make you lose.
