NO ME LLORES Lyrics English Translation by FERNANDOCOSTA
DON’T CRY FOR ME Lyrics by FERNANDOCOSTA
I don’t know how I can have so little shame
Coming with stories, asking you for answers
I don’t know how I want you to understand me
When silence is my mother tongue
When you wanna leave, shut the door tight
Throw me the letters, tighten the rope
All I got are fines and open wounds
I’ll make it short for you—think the worst and you’ll be right
Dead presidents, bridges of colors
A collection of mistakes and Rolexes
I’m 33 like the Masons
Now my castles in the air are mansions
I’m not right, and I’ve run out of reasons
Just give me problems, I’ll turn ‘em into songs
I invest in stocks, but I got no shares
I need a vacation from my vacations
Hit rock bottom, can’t climb out the pit
Playing liar against the mirror
Living on the edge is dangerous
Better to be envied than envious
Wolves in sheep’s clothing don’t vibe with me
I’m a tiger dressed like a crocodile
They spent their last bullet, and I’m still alive
You can buy expensive clothes, but not style
Don’t cry for me
‘Cause I already cried for you
I made a thousand mistakes
But I swear I learned
I bring you flowers
So you don’t forget me
And if I ever lied to you
I had my reasons
I hear your voice and my skin crawls
Like when Marcos died, feels like yesterday
Cancer took him, I don’t believe in fate
Every December, I still remember him
With a virgin on my skin and a cross on my chest
I know damn well what I’ve done, that’s why I eat under a roof
I got a thousand problems, but I think of you and speed up
And here I thought money could cure everything
What’s done is done, even if it hurts to think
I had the world in front of me, said I’d give it a try
Even if this weight I carry drags me down
And these moments are hard and bitter
Sometimes I swallow sand, sometimes it rains salt
Roll the dice, and everything comes up wrong
Cheers to my family, freedom for my bro
Don’t wanna see him behind glass no more
Emotional hangover, and I didn’t even drink last night
Wish I could go back to driving without a license
If I failed you, I’m sorry, hands together, amen
Till you forgive me, I’ll be your hostage
There’s a light at the end, but it only shines sometimes
Comes at dawn, late when night falls
I beg it to save me if it wants me to pray
Just don’t let my family lack what they deserve
Don’t cry for me
‘Cause I already cried for you
I made a thousand mistakes
But I swear I learned
I bring you flowers
So you don’t forget me
And if I ever lied to you
I had my reasons
Don’t cry for me
‘Cause I already cried for you
I made a thousand mistakes
But I swear I learned
I bring you flowers
So you don’t forget me
And if I ever lied to you
I had my reasons
