Verdad Amarga
Linda Ronstadt · Other Songs - Linda Ronstadt
Aunque me parta el alma
No quiero que despues me juzgues mal
Por pretender callarla
Yo se que es imposible nuestro amor
Porque el destino manda
Y tu sabras un dia perdonar
Esta verdad amarga
Te juro por los dos
Que me cuesta la vida
Que sangrara la herida
Por una eternidad
Tal vez manana puedas comprender
Que siempre fui sincera
Tal vez por alguien llegues a saber
Que todavia te quiero
Te juro por los dos
Que me cuesta la vida
Que sangrara la herida
Por una eternidad
Tal vez manana puedas comprender
Que siempre fui sincera
Quiza por alguien llegues a saber
Que todavia te quiero
I have to tell the truth
Even if it breaks my heart
I don't want to be misjudged later
For trying to conceal it
I know our love is impossible
Because it is our destiny
And one day you'll be able to pardon
This bitter truth
I swear
That it's costing me my life
That this wound will bleed
For an eternity
Maybe later you might understand
That I was always sincere
Perhaps someone will help you see
That I still love you
