Letra del Tango Jamás lo vas a saber

No me vas a ver tirado
ni me vas a ver vencido.
No me vas a ver rodando
como vos te imaginás.
Ni metido en los boliches
pa’ olvidarme de tu olvido.
Si has pensado en todo eso,
no lo vas a ver jamás.

Cuando tenga que nombrarte
voy a hacerlo sin testigos,
por si acaso en una de esas
se me escapa un lagrimón.
Y si tomo alguna copa,
no va a ser con los amigos.
Uno nunca esta seguro
si le falla el corazón.

No voy a andar dando pena,
desesperado y vencido.
Después de haberte perdido
nunca sabrás si tu olvido
dejó ternura o rencor.
Si todos dicen que miento,
porque abrazado al ayer
te quiero mucho, y te siento,
si mi vida es un tormento,
¡jamás, jamás lo vas a saber!

No te voy a dar el gusto
que te digan algún día,
que me vieron solo y triste,
que me muero por tu amor;
que te extraño como nunca,
que te quiero todavía.
No te voy a dar el gusto
que te cuenten mi dolor.
Yo sabré morder mis penas
y callar mis pensamientos,
no te va a decir ninguno
que en sincera confesión
le lloré mis amarguras,
ni le dije lo que siento,
lo que siento lo sabemos
sólo yo y mi corazón.

English lyrics of the Tango "Jamás lo vas a saber"

You won’t see me lying down,
nor will you see me defeated.
You won’t see me crumbling
as you’ve imagined.
Nor drowning in bars
to forget your forgetting.
If you’ve thought all this,
you’ll never see it at all.

When I have to mention your name,
I’ll do so without witnesses,
just in case, in a moment,
a tear escapes me.
And if I have a drink,
it won’t be with friends.
One can never be sure
when the heart might fail.

I won’t walk around causing pity,
desperate and defeated.
After having lost you,
you will never know if your forgetting
left tenderness or resentment.
If everyone says I’m lying,
because clinging to the past
I love you deeply and feel you,
if my life is torment,
you’ll never, ever know!

I won’t give you the pleasure
of hearing one day,
that they saw me alone and sad,
that I’m dying for your love;
that I miss you like never before,
that I still love you.
I won’t give you the pleasure
of them sharing my pain.
I’ll know how to bite back my sorrows
and keep my thoughts to myself,
no one will tell you
in a sincere confession
that I cried my bitterness,
or told them how I feel,
what I feel, only my heart and I know.
