Singer: Vicente Fernández
La ciudad puede ser traicionera
Nos sorprende al voltear cada esquina
Encontrarte otra vez quien dijera
Y sentir tan clavada tu espina
The city can be deceiving
It surprises us everywhere
Finding you is unexpected
And your feelings your wound hurts me
Me largue pa beberme tu ausencia
Del olvido de amores, maltrato
Aun me quedan dolencias del alma
Y no duermo por ver tu retrato
I left to drink away your absence
From forgotten loves and mistreatment
I still have wounds in my soul
And I can’t sleep without seeing your pictures
Tu carmín se tatúo en mi mejilla
Tu perfume lo llevo por años
Según yo ya me hallaba a la orilla
De tus juegos, mentira y engaños
Your lipstick kissed my cheek
I’ve put your perfume for years
I thought I was finally free
From your tricks, lies, and deceit
Tan a gusto, tranquilo y sonriente
Encontrarte otra vez, quien dijera
Mientras yo soy un muerto viviente
Solo en esta ciudad traicionera
So relax, calm, and smiling
I never thought to find you again
While I am like a living dead
Alone in this deceiving city
Quise hallar sin animar mi oficio
De sentirme tu hombre y tú guía
Quien dijera que en este bullicio
Mi alma está más perdida y vacía
I wanted to find, without enthusiasm for my work
To feel like your man and you my guide
Who would have thought that in this noise
Would my soul be more lost and empty?
Tu carmín se tatúo en mi mejilla
Tu perfume lo llevo por años
Según yo ya me hallaba a la orilla
De tus juegos, mentira y engaños
Your lipstick kissed my cheek
I’ve put your perfume for years
I thought I was finally free
From your tricks, lies, and deceit
Tan a gusto, tranquilo y sonriente
Encontrarte otra vez, quien dijera
Mientras yo soy un muerto viviente
Solo en esta ciudad traicionera
So relax, calm, and smiling
I never thought to find you again
While I am like a living dead
Alone in this deceiving city
