Lyrics and translation La Apuesta - Amargo Dolor




Amargo Dolor
Bitter Sorrow
Amigos míos, nomás vengo a decirles
My friends, I've only come to tell you
La causa y el motivo de mi amargo dolor
The cause and the reason for my bitter sorrow
Que la mujer ingrata a quien yo amaba tanto
That ungrateful woman whom I loved so much
La odio con espanto y maldigo su amor
I hate her with terror and curse her love
Pero hay cuando la miro me acuerdo de sus besos
But there are times when I look at her and remember her kisses
Una horrible tristeza no puedo remediar.
A horrible sadness I can't remedy.
Quisiera envenenarla o quitarle la existencia
I'd like to poison her or take her life
Porqué estaba en la creencia que le iba yo a rogar
Because she was under the impression that I would beg her
La pobre de mi madre se cansa de decirme
My poor mother tires of telling me
Que ya no tome vino que le haga ese favor
To stop drinking wine, to do her that favor
La causa de este vicio fue esa mujer ingrata
The cause of this vice was that ungrateful woman
Porqué no tuve plata para comprar su amor
Because I didn't have the money to buy her love
Cuando ando borrachillo enciendo un cigarrillo
When I'm a little drunk I light a cigarette
Y la luz del cerillo aumenta mi dolor
And the light of the match increases my pain
Quisiera envenenarla o quitarle la existencia
I'd like to poison her or take her life
Porqué estaba en la creencia que le iba yo a rogar
Because she was under the impression that I would beg her
La pobre de mi madre se cansa de decirme
My poor mother tires of telling me
Que ya no tome vino que le haga ese favor
To stop drinking wine, to do her that favor
La causa de este vicio fue esa mujer ingrata
The cause of this vice was that ungrateful woman
Porqué no tuve plata para comprar su amor
Because I didn't have the money to buy her love
