Chacarera De Un Triste
Raúl Carnota Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Para que quiero vivir
Con el corazón desecho
Para qué quiero la vida
Después de lo que me has hecho.

Yo te di mi corazón
Vos el tuyo me entregaste
Con engaños hacia el mío
Prenda, lo despedazaste.

Ay, por que fuiste tan cruel
Si tu cariño esperaba
Por qué jugaste conmigo
Prenda, si te idolatraba.

Ya en el mundo me olvidé
Desengaños y amarguras
Pero lo que vos me hiciste
Preda'i en mi alma perdura.

Segunda
Cantando me pasaré
Muy triste esta chacarera;
Puede ser que vos te acuerdes,
En el momento que muera.

No hay consuelo, ya lo sé;
¿Para qué quiero buscarlo?
Tan deshecha tengo el alma,
Que inútil será lograrlo.

Seguí guitarra, seguí.
Seguí como yo llorando:
Compañera hasta la muerte,
Seguí mi alma consolando.

Seguí, guitarra, seguí,
Prenda, por lo que me hiciste,




Rasgueando toda la noche
La chacarera de un triste
