El Vals De La Muerte Lyrics in English Alejo García
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song El Vals De La Muerte by Alejo García from Spanish to English.
Viene despacio rondando la muerte
Death comes slowly, circling around
Ahí llega de pronto queriendo bailar
there she suddenly arrives wanting to dance
La vida amorosa de corazón fuerte
the loving life with a strong heart
Prohíbe tajante su entrada al lugar, mm
flatly forbids her entry to the place, mm
Creo que gozas de muy mala suerte
I think that you enjoy very bad luck
Al baile del mundo no puedes entrar
you can't enter the world's dance
Y al tiempo del tres por cuatro le advierte
and she warns the three-four tempo
El vals de la vida no sabes marcar
you don't know how to mark the waltz of life
Muerte regresa por donde viniste
Death, go back the way you came
Recoge tus pasos andá para atrás
gather your steps, go back
Mira que nadie quiere estar triste
see that nobody wants to be sad
Y ahora es la risa que marca el compás
and now it's laughter that marks the beat
La muerte se aleja callada, no insiste
Death moves off silent, she doesn't insist
Un, dos, tres, un, dos y empieza este vals
one, two, three, one, two and this waltz begins
Y girar y girar nada más, la vida un soplo fugaz
And spin and spin, nothing else, life a fleeting breath
Aprender a sentir como el mar, sus olas vienen y van
learn to feel like the sea, its waves come and go
Y morir cada vez como el sol, que apaga y enciende el color
And die each time like the sun, that turns the color off and on
Y curar con los pies el dolor, bailando llenitos de amor
and heal the pain with our feet, dancing filled with love
Ecos del baile ella escucha silente
She hears echoes of the dance in silence
Ahora exiliada de la multitud
now exiled from the crowd
Ensaya los pasos sin pretendiente
she rehearses the steps without a partner
Bailando solita pero con actitud, mm
dancing alone but with attitude, mm
Mientras la vida loquita inconsciente
While life, crazy and unaware
No acata, no aprende, esa no es su virtud
doesn't obey, doesn't learn, that's not her virtue
La ausente aparece otra vez de repente
the absent one appears again all of a sudden
Sorprende marcando con exactitud
she surprises, marking with precision
Yo soy la muerte y sin bienvenida
I am Death and without welcome
¿quien baila conmigo hasta el amanecer?
who dances with me till dawn?
La vida reclama no seas atrevida
life protests, don't be daring
Pero desafiante no quiere ceder
but defiant she won't give in
Un joven apuesto, ella está decidida
A handsome young man, she's decided
Un, dos, tres, un, dos se empieza a mecer
one, two, three, one, two she begins to sway
Indiferentes al baile los vivos
Indifferent to the dance, the living
Giramos, giramos sin ton, ni son
we spin, we spin without rhyme or reason
La muerte hace tanto perdió los estribos
Death long ago lost her temper
La vida hace cuanto también la razón
Life long ago lost reason too
El vals de la muerte nos tiene cautivos
Death's waltz keeps us captive
Y ahora bailamos sin acentuación
and now we dance without accentuation
Todos creemos y con adjetivos
we all believe, and with adjectives
Que somos los dueños de su canción
that we are the owners of her song
Cadencia del mundo la más delirante
The world's cadence, the most delirious
Dolor que nos besa otra vez y otra vez
pain that kisses us again and again
Que bailen su baile los dos amantes
that the two lovers dance their dance
Memoria y olvido en un tentempié
memory and oblivion in a snack
Un paso atrás y otro adelante
One step back and another forward
Un, dos, tres, un, dos, ¡ay¡ como el ciempiés
one, two, three, one, two, ay, like the centipede
Lailarailarara
Lailarailarara
