Hate me out of pity, I ask you

Hate me without measure or mercy

I want hate more than indifference - Because resentment hurts less than forgetting

Hate me out of pity, I ask you

Hate me without measure or mercy

I want hate more than indifference - Because resentment hurts less than forgetting

If you hate me, I will be convinced - That you loved me, woman, insistently

But keep in mind, according to experience - That we only hate what we have loved

But keep in mind, according to experience - That we only hate what we have loved

[Music]

Is it worth more, me humble and you proud?

Is it worth more, your fragile beauty?

Think that at the bottom of the grave - We will wear the same attire

Ódiame por piedad, yo te lo pido

Ódiame sin medida ni clemencia

Odio quiero más que indiferencia Porque el rencor hiere menos que el olvido

Ódiame por piedad, yo te lo pido

Ódiame sin medida ni clemencia

Odio quiero más que indiferencia Porque el rencor hiere menos que el olvido

Si tú me odias quedaré yo convencido De que me amaste mujer con insistencia

Pero ten presente, de acuerdo a la experiencia Que tan sólo se odia lo querido

Pero ten presente, de acuerdo a la experiencia Que tan sólo se odia lo querido

[Música]

¿O vale más, yo humilde y tú orgullosa?

¿O vale más, tu débil hermosura?

Piensa que en el fondo de la fosa Llevaremos la misma vestidura

¿O vale más, yo humilde y tú orgullosa?

¿O vale más, tu débil hermosura?

Piensa que en el fondo de la fosa Llevaremos la misma vestidura

Si tú me odias quedaré yo convencido De que me amaste mujer con insistencia

Pero ten presente, de acuerdo a la experiencia Que tan sólo se odia lo querido

Pero ten presente, de acuerdo a la experiencia Que tan sólo se odia lo querido
