Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Después que todo te lo dio mi pobre corazón herido,
Has vuelto a verme para que yo sepa de tu desventura,
Por la amargura de un amor igual al que me diste tu,
Ya no podre ni perdonar ni darte lo que tu me diste,
Has de saber que de un cariño muerto no existe el verbo,
Mas si pretendes remover las ruinas que tu misma hiciste,
Ya no podre ni perdonar ni darte lo que tu me diste,
Has de saber que de un cariño muerto no existe el verbo,
Mas si pretendes remover las ruinas que tu misma hiciste,
SOLO CENIZAS HALLARAS DE TODO LO QUE FUE MI AMOR
