Almas Rotas Lyrics in English by DLD
"Almas Rotas" (Broken Souls) by DLD is a song about watching someone you love drift into a life you are not part of. The singer thinks he has seen her walking "por el boulevard de las almas rotas" (down the boulevard of broken souls), an image of a street where hurt people go, and she walks it "sin pudor ni miedo" (without shame or fear), with a dream and a longing of her own.
The chorus is the gut punch. "Miente, no me digas dónde estabas" (lie, don't tell me where you were) and "no me digas la verdad" (don't tell me the truth): he would rather be lied to than hear it. Then he plans his own act: "Yo te lloraré por la mañana" (I'll cry for you in the morning) and "Fingiré que todo está normal" (I'll pretend everything is normal). Notice the future tense in lloraré and fingiré, a handy pair of verbs to learn. In the second verse he refuses to apologise, "No me pienso disculpar" (I don't plan to apologise), which makes the whole thing feel proud and broken at the same time.
