These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
En sus ojos, nunca pude encontrar maldad
In her eyes, I could never find evil
Pero a veces, para no morir hay que matar
But sometimes, in order not to die, you have to kill
Todo fue esa noche en que ciego y borracho nos quizo asustar
Everything was that night when blind and drunk he wanted to scare us
Pero un golpe sin suerte
But a hit without luck
dejó a su cuchillo clavado en su mal
he left his knife stuck in his evil
Así fue que al duende del árbol, tuvimos que asesinar
So it was that the elf of the tree, we had to kill
matar y cortar y cortar
kill and cut and cut
Su cuchillo había destripado a dos duendes ya
His knife had gutted two goblins already.
Pero en estas historias, nunca nadie puede celebrar
But in these stories, no one can ever celebrate
Así fue que al duende del árbol
So it was that the elf of the tree
en partes tuvimos que enterrar
in parts we had to bury
tapar y olvidar y olvidar
cover and forget and forget
'¿Cuál es esa ley preguntó el duende al sol a Dios
'What is that law asked the elf to the sun to God
qué aunque mate siempre
what even though I always kill
siempre obtendré el perdón?'
Will I always get forgiveness?'
Pero a aquella ley, esa noche la rompí yo
But that law, that night I broke it
Sólo el cielo quiso ver lo que quedó de él
Only heaven wanted to see what was left of him
Nuestro miedo, se hizo odio en un instante cruel
Our fear, he became hate in a cruel instant
Así fue que al duende del árbol
So it was that the elf of the tree
de un tajo le pudimos dar un poquitito de paz
in one fell swoop we were able to give him a little bit of peace
Y ahora tengo a este duende sepultado y ya sin perdón
And now I have this goblin buried and already without forgiveness
