Nena Lyrics in English Alejandro Sanz
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Nena by Alejandro Sanz from Spanish to English.
Sabes que de ovillos solo sabes enredarte
You know that you only know how to get tangled up in tangles
Y carreras rueda atrás y rueda a 'lante
And races wheel back and wheel forward
Tu actuación siempre es el foco de atención
Your performance is always the focus of attention
Me entregas tu alma de cartón
You give me your cardboard soul
La poesía está en la calle, sabes
Poetry is in the street, you know
Y de dilas tus rodillas si que saben
And your knees do know how to tell them
De distancias que ir al bar es un viaje
Of distances that going to the bar is a trip
Te has llevado por delante la salud del practicante
You have taken the health of the practitioner ahead
Tienes tela para hacerte siete trajes
You have fabric to make seven suits
Mira tú, la poesía está en la calle
Look, poetry is in the street
Viajan subido a tus botas
They travel in your boots
Pido rosas y ayer
I ask for roses and yesterday
La vida todo te lo perdona
Life forgives you everything
Pero yo ya no sé si puedo sin querer
But I no longer know if I can without wanting to
Nena, no cambiarás jamás, maldita sea
Baby, you won't ever change, damn it
Tú siempre estás metiéndote en jardines
You are always getting into gardens
Jugando a ser mayor, retando a las alturas
Playing at being older, challenging the heights
Redoblando tu tacón
Doubling down on your heel
Nena, tu siempre estás buscándote problemas
Baby, you're always looking for trouble
Y luego vienes maldito sea tu arte, pidiéndome perdón
And then you come damn your art, asking me for forgiveness
Y yo estaré de nuevo aquí para perdonarte
And I will be here again to forgive you
Mira, caben en la palma de tu mano más desastres
Look, more disasters fit in the palm of your hand
Que discurso en la boca del farsante
What a speech in the mouth of the faker
Para ti todo es un juego sin guion
For you everything is a game without a script
Salirte siempre del renglón
Always get out of line
Y salga el sol por Alicante
And the sun comes out over Alicante
Y te vas con lo peor de cada clase
And you leave with the worst of each class
A probar, que por probar no pasa nada
Let's try, because nothing happens by trying
Y probando te perdiste lo mejor
And trying you missed the best
La vida estaba alrededor
life was around
Pero tú nunca te enteraste
But you never found out
Que te pierdes lo mejor, un disparate
That you miss the best, nonsense
Y ponte una llave en esa boca
And put a key in that mouth
Ponle un freno a tus pies
Put a brake on your feet
Calma tu cabe cita loca
Calm down your head crazy quote
Que tan duda
How doubtful
Que tan difícil no es
How difficult is it?
Nena, no cambiarás jamás, maldita sea
Baby, you won't ever change, damn it
Tú siempre estás metiéndote en jardines
You are always getting into gardens
Jugando a ser mayor, retando a las alturas
Playing at being older, challenging the heights
Asomando tu tacón
Showing your heel
Nena, tu siempre estás buscándote problemas
Baby, you're always looking for trouble
Y luego vienes maldito sea tu arte, pidiéndome perdón
And then you come damn your art, asking me for forgiveness
Y yo estaré de nuevo aquí esperando para perdonarte
And I will be here again waiting to forgive you
Nena, tu siempre estás buscándote problemas
Baby, you're always looking for trouble
Y luego vienes maldito sea tu arte, pidiéndome perdón
And then you come damn your art, asking me for forgiveness
Y yo estaré de nuevo aquí esperando para perdonarte
And I will be here again waiting to forgive you
