Letra del Tango La mentirosa

Cuanto te amé, puedo decir que jamás
otra mujer, podré querer como a vos.
La juventud no volverá nunca más
y a la ambición ya puedo dar el adiós.
Qué tiempo aquel, hora fugaz que pasó,
todo el valor de una pasión conocí.
Cuanta feliz frase de amor escuché,
que siempre yo, sumiso y fiel te creí.

Las caricias de tus manos,
tus palabras de ternura,
dejaron cruel amargura,
porque nada fue verdad.
Besos falsos de tu boca,
juramentos, ilusiones,
mataron mis ambiciones,
sin un poco de piedad.

Pero, por el mal que vos me hiciste,
solo dice mi alma triste,
mentirosa, mentirosa.
Todo lo que me has hecho pasar,
penas, llanto,
con otro lo has de pagar.

Ya encontrarás quien un amor fingirá
entonces sí, vas querer sin mentir,
has de ser vos la que al final llorará.
Siempre de mi te acordarás al sufrir,
ha de sangrar tu corazón al pensar,
en todo el mal que hiciste a mi ilusión
y hasta al morir, hasta el morir, mirarás
los ojos del fantasma de tu traición.

English lyrics of the Tango " La mentirosa"

How much I loved you, I can say never again
another woman, could I love like you.
Youth will never return
and ambition I can now bid farewell.
What times were those, fleeting hour that passed,
I knew the full value of a passion.
How many happy words of love I heard,
that always I, submissive and faithful, believed you.

The caresses of your hands,
your tender words,
left harsh bitterness,
for nothing was true.
False kisses from your lips,
oaths, illusions,
killed my ambitions,
without a bit of pity.

But, for the wrong you did to me,
only my sad soul says,
liar, liar.
All that you made me endure,
sorrows, tears,
with someone else you shall repay.

You’ll find someone who will feign love
and then yes, you’ll want without deceit,
you’ll be the one who in the end will cry.
You’ll always remember me when you suffer,
your heart will bleed thinking,
of all the harm you did to my illusion
and till the dying end, till the end, you’ll see
the eyes of the ghost of your betrayal.
