Para Dar Contigo Lyrics in English Andrés Cepeda

Home / Lyrics translation / Andrés Cepeda / Para Dar Contigo

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Para Dar Contigo by Andrés Cepeda from Spanish to English.

Tanto beso que se me quedó

So many kisses I kept

En tanta boca sin amor

In so many loveless mouths

Y tanto amor se desbordó inútilmente

And so much love overflowed uselessly

Dejando tanta vida por ahí

Leaving so much life out there

Y en tanto amanecer morir

And to die with so many sunrises

De compartir las soledades mutuamente

From mutually sharing our loneliness

Ya se cansó mi cuerpo de rogar

My body's tired of begging

Y mi corazón de dar

And my heart of giving

Mi propia vida

My own life

Nunca fui hasta ti

I never went to you

Para dar contigo

To find you

Tuve que empeñar en otros brazos el abrigo

I had to give my warmth to other arms

Para dar contigo

To find you

Al correr dejé pedazos de piel por el camino

As I ran, I left pieces of skin along the way

Y aprendí a volar

And I learned to fly

Entre tanto abismo

Amidst so many abysses

Es que yo di con cada gente para dar contigo

I met so many people just to find you

Para dar contigo

To find you

Y no creer que fueras otro fracaso repetido

And not believe you were another repeated failure

Para dar contigo

To find you

Y llegar aun con algo de amor en los bolsillos

And arrive even with some love in my pockets

Reinventé la fe que se había perdido

I reinvented the faith that had been lost

Para ser feliz, para dar contigo

To be happy, to find you

Dejando tanta vida por ahí

Leaving so much life out there

Y en tanto amanecer morir

And to die with so many sunrises

De compartir las soledades mutuamente

From mutually sharing our loneliness

Ya se cansó mi cuerpo de rogar

My body's tired of begging

Y mi corazón de dar

And my heart of giving

Mi propia vida

My own life

Nunca fui hasta ti

I never went to you

Para dar contigo

To find you

Tuve que empeñar en otros brazos el abrigo

I had to give my warmth to other arms

Para dar contigo

To find you

Al correr dejé pedazos de piel por el camino

As I ran, I left pieces of skin along the way

Y aprendí a volar

And I learned to fly

Entre tanto abismo

Amidst so many abysses

Es que yo di con cada gente para dar contigo

I met so many people just to find you

Para dar contigo

To find you

Y no creer que fueras otro fracaso repetido

And not believe you were another repeated failure

Para dar contigo

To find you

Y llegar aun con algo de amor en los bolsillos

And arrive even with some love in my pockets

Reinventé la fe que se había perdido

I reinvented the faith that had been lost

Y ahora soy feliz, porque di contigo

And now I'm happy, because I found you

Contigo

With you

Did you like this lyrics translation?

empeñar — to pawn / to pledge

Empeñar literally means "to pawn" or "to pledge something as collateral." It's a word with significant weight, implying sacrifice or giving something valuable away.

In this song, Andrés Cepeda uses it metaphorically in the line "Tuve que empeñar en otros brazos el abrigo" (I had to pawn/pledge the shelter in other arms). He's not literally pawning an item, but rather suggesting that he had to invest his emotional warmth and comfort in other relationships before finding the right person. This unique and evocative use of the word makes it very memorable and interesting.
