Shame on you who first taught me betrayal
And with horror and anger made me lose my reason
And with horror and anger made me lose my reason

Shame on you, woman with the dark eye, whose disastrous loves
Have buried in the shadow my spring and my beautiful days
Have buried in the shadow my spring and my beautiful days

It's your voice, it's your smile, it's your corrupting gaze
That taught me to curse even the semblance of happiness
That taught me to curse even the semblance of happiness

It's your youth, it's your charms that made me despair
And if I doubt tears it's because I saw you cry
And if I doubt tears it's because I saw you cry

Shame on you, I was still, as simple as a child
Like a flower at dawn my heart was opening in loving you
Like a flower at dawn my heart was opening in loving you

Certainly this defenseless heart, could easily be deceived
But to leave it innocent was even easier
But to leave it innocent was even easier

Shame on you, who was the mother of my first sorrows
And you made from my eyelid spring the source of tears
And you made from my eyelid spring the source of tears

It flows be sure and nothing will dry it up
It comes from a wound that will never heal
It comes from a wound that will never heal

But in this bitter source, at least I will wash myself
And there I hope to leave your abhorred memory
And there I hope to leave your abhorred memory
And there I hope to leave your abhorred memory
