ME MUERO PRIMERO
By Nora Roman 2-27-93
Poema de Intro (1986)
Basta,
Basta ya con los juegos tuyos
Te siento en mi piel
Como las espinas de la caña
Pero ya te estoy quitando
Espina por espina por espina:
Me dices que queres volver conmigo,
Que sufres cada dia mas sin mi
Que tu alma esta totalmente adolorido
Que yo tengo que sentir igual que tu
Pero yo te juro que si no has cambiado
Jamas me vas a poder convencer
Porque yo ya no soy aquella la misma tonta
Que te dio a vos todo su querer
Me Muero Primero, Me Muero Primero
Antes de dejarte entrar en mi vida otra vez-ME MUERO PRIMERO
Antes de abrir mi corazon a tu puñal --- MMP
Antes de dejarte acariciar mi piel ---- MMP
Antes de dejarte traicionarme otra vez---MMP
Antes de eschuchar tus palabras tan dulces---MMP

Antes de pensar en un futuro junto a ti---MMP
Antes de dejarte besar a mi---MMP
Antes de creer que tu me vas a apoyar---MMP
Antes de decir que yo a ti me voy a dedicar---MMP
Antes de creer las mentiras que salen de tu boca---MMP
Antes de meterme en tu vida tan loca---MMP
Antes de caer en tu trampa sin saber---MMP
Nunca jamas yo me voy a caer---MMP, MMP, MMP, MMP


English translation: I’d Die First
Poem from 1986:
Enough, enough of your games.
I feel you in my skin, like the spines of sugarcane.
But I already started picking you out.
Spine by spine by spine.

You say you want to go back with me,
That you suffer every day without me,
That your soul is full of pain
That I have to feel the same
But I swear that if you haven’t changed,
You could never convince me
Because I’m not that same silly girl
Who gave you all her love.

Before I let you back in my life- I’d die first
Before I open my heart to your knife- I’d die first
Before I let you caress my skin- I’d die first
Before I let you betray me another time- I’d die first
Before I listen to your sweet words- I’d die first

Before I think of a future with you- I’d die first
Before I let you kiss me- I’d die first
Before I believe that you would support me- I’d die first
Before I say I’m going to dedicate myself to you- I’d die first
Before I believe the lies from your mouth- I’d die first
Before I get involved in your crazy life again- I’d die first
Before I fall into your trap without realizing it - I’d die first
Never again am I going to fall- I’d die first
I’d die first, I’d die first, I’d die first. I’d die first!
