Aunque te dé lo mismo
Rocio Jurado Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tu vanidad,
Indiferente
A la rosa desnuda de mis años.
Siempre,
Tu mala fe,
Buscando daño
Yo tengo un corazón loco y valiente
Que soporta conforme tus engaños
Y que tiene de grande los reaños
Para aguantar tu burla eternamente.
Pero puede llegar un mediodía
Que se acabe esta amarga letanía
De llorar y callar tanto cinismo,
Tanto cinismo.
Que se encuentre otra boca con la mía
Y me pierda en un bosque de alegría,
Aunque a ti corazón, corazón,
Te dé lo mismo, te dé lo mismo.
Te dé lo mismo.

The chorus repeats the phrase "te dé lo mismo," which means "it's all the same to you."
