Letra del Tango Cansada de sufrir

La tuve de rodillas ante mí
Pidiendo enloquecida, compasión,
Y yo no le creí, celándola viví
Y en llantos convertí sus sueños,
Y ahora que añorándola volví
La llama de su amor ya se apagó…

Celos, enceguecida pasión,
Celos, así he matado su amor,
Los celos son así,
La duda más brutal
Que clavan su puñal y ofenden…

¡Cuántas!, Cuántas sufrieron igual
Ellas, las que supieron amar,
Y así con mi obsesión,
Cerré su corazón
Cansada de sufrir y de esperar.

English lyrics of the Tango "Cansada de sufrir"

I had her on her knees before me
Begging frantic, for compassion,
And I didn’t believe her, living in jealousy
And turned her dreams into tears,
And now that I’ve returned longing for her,
The flame of her love has extinguished…

Jealousy, blinded passion,
Jealousy, thus I killed her love,
Jealousy is like that,
The most brutal doubt
That plunges its dagger and offends…

How many! How many suffered the same,
They, the ones who knew how to love,
And so with my obsession,
I closed her heart,
Tired of suffering and waiting.
