Tengo miedo [English translation]

In the game of life I stood with seven and half,1

being the only stand in my life I scored.

I was already helplessly at the slope of the ruin,

but one day I said "I stand" and I did it that day.

I left the lazy crowd of the endless party,

I stayed away from the milonga and its lazy whims;

with the sadness of my night I made a beautiful morning:

a graveyard of my life turned into a garden.

Garsonier, races, gambles, vicious drinks 2

and fleeting loves... false kisses, yes, of women...

I've buried it all in the oblivion of the bustling past

for the holiest love a man could have.

Now, you see, I'm fine... that's why nicely

I beg you to not come to disturb my sweet peace;

to leave me with my mother, that beside her, saintly,

I'll build another life, now that I'm feeling able.

I beg you to not come, I'm scared of finding you,

because there's something in my existence that can't forget you...

I'm scared of your eyes, I'm scared of kissing you,

I'm scared of loving you and start again.

Be nice... don't look for me... stay away from my track...

Maybe in another love you'll find your redemption...

You know I don't want my talk to offend you...

Is that I'm so scared that my heart fails me!
