Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Yo Era Poesía by Alejandro Sanz from Spanish to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Yo soy la promesa
I am the promise
Que si no se cumple
What if it is not fulfilled
No se debe hacer
It should not be done
Tú eres la respuesta
you are the answer
A las mil preguntas
To the thousand questions
Del por qué no fue
Why it wasn't
Tú eres ese día
You are that day
Que comienza mal
That starts badly
Una historia que empezó
A story that began
Mal acostumbrada
Badly accustomed
Siempre hacer las cosas
Always get things done
Que te dan la gana
What do you want?
Yo soy todo o nada
I am all or nothing
Tú querías un libro
you wanted a book
Y yo con dos palabras
And me with two words
Ya me conformaba
I was already satisfied
Un maldito te quiero
I fucking love you
Que jamás llegó
that never came
Una vida juntos
A life together
Que nunca se dio
that never happened
Hermosa, tú
Beautiful, you
Hubieras avisado
you would have warned
Pa' jugar los dos
To play both
Vamos a hacer?
Let's do it?
Fingir que no existimos
Pretend we don't exist
Que nada pasó
that nothing happened
Tú eras huracán
you were a hurricane
Demostrando poder
Demonstrating power
Yo el faro que aguantaba
I the lighthouse that endured
Sin saber por qué
Without knowing why
Tenías que estrellarte
you had to crash
O abatirme vida
Or bring me down life
Yo era poesía
I was poetry
Y no sabías leer
And you didn't know how to read
Tu amor es precipicio
Your love is a cliff
Pero daba al mar
But it faced the sea
Tu océano frío
Your cold ocean
Y yo no sabía nadar
And I didn't know how to swim
Tú confundiendo amor
You confusing love
Con simple compañía
With simple company
Y te aguantaba todo
And I put up with everything
Porque te quería
because I loved you
Hermosa, tú
Beautiful, you
Hubieras avisado
you would have warned
Pa' jugar los dos
To play both
Vamos a hacer?
Let's do it?
Fingir que no existimos
Pretend we don't exist
Que nada pasó
that nothing happened
Tú eras huracán
you were a hurricane
Demostrando poder
Demonstrating power
Yo el faro que aguantaba
I the lighthouse that endured
Sin saber por qué
Without knowing why
Tenías que estrellarte
you had to crash
O abatirme vida
Or bring me down life
Yo era poesía
I was poetry
Y no sabías leer
And you didn't know how to read
Tu amor es precipicio
Your love is a cliff
Pero daba al mar
But it faced the sea
Tu océano frío
Your cold ocean
Y yo no sabía nadar
And I didn't know how to swim
Tú confundiendo amor
You confusing love
Con simple compañía
With simple company
Y te aguantaba todo
And I put up with everything
Porque te quería
because I loved you
Yo el faro que aguantaba
I the lighthouse that endured
Sin saber por qué
Without knowing why
Porque no pudo ser
Because it couldn't be
Pero daba al mar
But it faced the sea
Porque no pudo ser
Because it couldn't be
Tú confundiendo amor
You confusing love
Con simple compañía
With simple company
Porque no pudo ser
Because it couldn't be
