James Earl "Jimmy" Carter, Jr. (born October 1, 1924) is an American politician who served as the 39th President of the United States (1977–1981) and was the recipient of the 2002 Nobel Peace Prize, the only U.S. President to have received the Prize after leaving office. Before he became President, Carter served as a U.S. Naval officer, was a peanut farmer, served two terms as a Georgia State Senator and one as Governor of Georgia (1971–1975).
During Carter's term as President, two new cabinet-level departments were created: the Department of Energy and the Department of Education. He established a national energy policy that included conservation, price control, and new technology. In foreign affairs, Carter pursued the Camp David Accords, the Panama Canal Treaties, the second round of Strategic Arms Limitation Talks (SALT II), and returned the Panama Canal Zone to Panama. Throughout his career, Carter strongly emphasized human rights. He took office during a period of international stagflation, which persisted throughout his term. The end of his presidential tenure was marked by the 1979–1981 Iran hostage crisis, the 1979 energy crisis, the Three Mile Island nuclear accident, the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan (at the end of 1979), 1980 Summer Olympics boycott by the United States of the Moscow Olympics and the 1980 eruption of Mount St. Helens.
No te asombres si te digo lo que fuiste
un ingrato con mi pobre corazón,
porque el fuego de tus lindos ojos negros
alumbraron el camino de otro amor.
Y pensar que te adoraba tiernamente
que a tu lado como nunca me sentí,
y por esas cosas raras de la vida,
sin el beso de tu boca yo me vi.
Amor de mis amores!
Vida mía...
que me hiciste
que no puedo
consolarme
sin poderte contemplar?
ya que pagaste mal a mi cariño tan sincero,
lo que conseguirás
que no te nombre nunca más...
Amor de mis amores!...
si dejaste
de quererme,
no hay cuidado
que la gente
de esto no se enterará...
qué gano con decir que un gran amor cambió mi suerte?
se burlarán de mí.
Que nadie sepa mi sufrir...
