Lyrics and translation José Alfredo Jiménez - Te Vas o Te Quedas




Te Vas o Te Quedas
You Leave or You Stay
Ay, amor, amor
Oh, love, love
Solo falta que me desprecies
The only thing missing is for you to reject me
Solo falta que me traiciones
The only thing missing is for you to betray me
Pa′ quitarme de plano la vida
To completely take away my life
Solo falta que me abandones
The only thing missing is for you to leave me
Mis amigos por fiel me dejaron
My friends have left me for being loyal
Cuanto amor he tenido me olvidas
All the love I have had you forget
Solo falta que te me vayas
The only thing missing is for you to leave me
Pa' quitarme de plano la vida
To completely take away my life
has llegado a formar en mi mundo
You have come to form in my world
La ilusion con que tanto soñaba
The illusion I have dreamed of so much
Pero ya te me estás escapando
But now you are escaping me
Como todas te quieres portar
Like all of them, you want to behave
Yo no puedo obligarte a quererme
I cannot force you to love me
sabrás si por otro me dejas
You will know if you leave me for another
Yo no voy a labrar tu desgracia
I will not bring about your misfortune
sabrás si te vas o te quedas
You will know if you leave or you stay
Me matas amor, me matas
You kill me, love, you kill me
No es posible ganarle al destino
It is not possible to beat destiny
Cuando todo se tiene perdido
When everything is lost
No es posible olvidar un cariño
It is not possible to forget a love
Que se lleva en el alma metido
That is carried deep in the soul
Yo nací pa′ vivir sin consuelo
I was born to live without comfort
Todo el mundo me hiere y me olvida
Everyone hurts me and forgets me
Solo falta que te me vayas
The only thing missing is for you to leave me
Pa' quitarme de plano la vida
To completely take away my life
has llegado a formar en mi mundo
You have come to form in my world
La ilusión con que tanto soñaba
The illusion I have dreamed of so much
Pero ya te me estás escapando
But now you are escaping me
Como todas te quieres portar
Like all of them, you want to behave
Yo no puedo obligarte a quererme
I cannot force you to love me
sabrás si por otro me dejas
You will know if you leave me for another
Yo no voy a labrar tu desgracia
I will not bring about your misfortune
sabrás si te vas o te quedas
You will know if you leave or you stay
