Original Lyrics of Tu Falta De Querer
Verso 1
Hoy volví
A dormir en nuestra cama y todo sigue igual
El aire y nuestros gatos, nada cambiará
Difícil olvidarte estando aquí
Te quiero ver
Aún te amo y creo que hasta más que ayer
La hiedra venenosa no te deja ver
Me siento mutilada y tan pequeña
Coro
Ven y cuéntame la verdad
Ten piedad
Y dime por qué
No, no, no
¿Cómo fue que me dejaste de amar?
Yo aún podía soportar
Tu tanta falta de querer
Verso 2
Hace un mes
Solía escucharte y ser tu cómplice
Pensé que ya no había nadie más que tú
Yo fui tu amiga y fui tu compañera
Ahora dormiré
Muy profundamente para olvidar
Quisiera hasta la muerte para no pensar
Me borro pa’ quitarme esta amargura
Coro
Ven y cuéntame la verdad
Ten piedad
Y dime por qué
No, no, no
¿Cómo fue que me dejaste de amar?
Yo aún podía soportar
Tu tanta falta de querer
Coro
Ven y cuéntame la verdad
Ten piedad
Y dime por qué
No, no, no
¿Cómo fue que me dejaste de amar?
Yo aún podía soportar
Tu tanta falta de querer
English Lyrics of Tu Falta De Querer Song
Verse 1
Today I returned
To sleep in our bed and everything remains the same
The air and our cats, nothing will change
It’s hard to forget you being here
I want to see you
I still love you and I think even more than yesterday
The poison ivy won’t let you see
I feel mutilated and so small
Chorus
Come and tell me the truth
Have mercy and tell me why
No, no, no
How was it that you stopped loving me?
I could’ve still endured
Your much lack of love
Verse 2
One month ago
I used to listen to you and be your accomplice
I thought that there was no one else but you
I was your friend and I was your companion
Now I will sleep very profoundly to forget
I’d even choose death just to stop thinking
I hide myself to take away this bitterness
Chorus
Come and tell me the truth
Have mercy and tell me why
No, no, no
How was it that you stopped loving me?
I could’ve still endured
Your much lack of love
Chorus
Come and tell me the truth
Have mercy and tell me why
No, no, no
How was it that you stopped loving me?
I could’ve still endured
Your much lack of love
