Translation of the song La resentida artist Mercedes Sosa
La resentida
The resentful one
Si mi negra me abandona
If my darling leaves me
lloraré toda la vida
I will cry all my life
dice que no me perdona
she says she doesn't forgive me
la resentida, la resentida.
the resentful one, the resentful one.
Lloraré mi triste suerte
I will cry about my sad fate
si tu cariño me olvida
if your love forgets me.
yo nací para quererte
I was born to love you
toda la vida, toda la vida.
all my life, all my life.
Pobre mi corazón
Woe is my heart
cansado de llorar
tired of crying
busca en mi pecho la calma
look for calm on my chest
dueña de mi alma,
owner of my soul
dueña de mi alma;
owner of my soul;
busca en mi pecho la calma
look for calm on my chest
dueña de mi alma
owner of my soul
y mi corazón.
and my heart.

Que tengo un amor ausente
I have an absent love
por eso estás resentida
that's why you are resentful
no le hagas caso a la gente
don't listen to the people
mujer querida, mujer querida.
beloved woman, beloved woman.
Te han dicho que no te quiero
They told you I don't love you
por eso estás resentida
that's why you are resentful
si por tu amor yo me muero
but I die for your love
toda la vida, toda la vida.
all my life, all my life.
Pobre mi corazón
Woe is my heart
cansado de llorar
tired of crying
busca en mi pecho la calma
look for calm on my chest
dueña de mi alma,
owner of my soul
dueña de mi alma;
owner of my soul;
busca en mi pecho la calma
look for calm on my chest
dueña de mi alma
owner of my soul
y mi corazón.
and my heart.
