Letra del Vals Amarguras

Triste romance de mi juventud
Que pese a todo no puedo olvidar,
Al evocarlo me ataca un dolor
Porque encierra mi pena mayor.

Desde que supe de la falsedad
De sus caricias a la decepción,
Encadenada a mi corazón
Transformó mi más bella ilusión.

English lyrics of the Vals "Amarguras"

Sad romance of my youth
Which despite everything I cannot forget,
When I evoke it, a pain attacks me
Because it holds my greatest sorrow.

Since I learned of the falsehood
Of her caresses to the disappointment,
Chained to my heart
Transformed my most beautiful illusion.

Despite its beauty, the relationship leaves behind a trail of pain and disillusionment, capturing a common theme of lost love and the enduring emotional scars it leaves.

Phrases like “Triste romance de mi juventud” (Sad romance of my youth) and “Desde que supe de la falsedad” (Since I knew of the falsehood) emphasize the sense of betrayal and the pain of disillusionment. Furthermore, the transformation of the narrator’s ‘más bella ilusión’ (most beautiful illusion) into a source of bitter heartache serves as a poignant symbol of lost innocence and the harsh realities of love.
