These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Si arrastré por estemundo
If I dragged through this world
la vergüenza de habersido
the shame of having been
y el dolor de ya no ser...
and the pain of no longer being...
Bajo el ala del sombrero,
Under the brim of the hat,
cuántas veces embozada
how many times ambushed
una lágrima asomada
A tear peeping out
yo no pude contener...
I couldn't contain myself...
Si crucé por los caminos
If I crossed the roads
como un paria que el Destino
as an outcast that Destiny
se empeño en deshacer...
He insisted on undoing...
Si fui flojo, si fui ciego,
If I was lazy, if I was blind,
sólo quiero que comprendan
I just want you to understand
el valor que representa
the value it represents
el coraje de querer.
The courage to love.
Era para mí la vida entera,
It was for me the whole life,
como un sol de primavera,
like a spring sun,
mi esperanza y mí pasión.
my hope and my passion.
Sabía
Knew
que en el mundo no cabía
that in the world there was no place in the world
toda la humilde alegría
All the humble joy
de mi pobre corazón.
of my poor heart.
Ahora,
Now
cuesta abajo en mi rodada,
downhill on my ride,
las ilusiones pasadas
Past illusions
yo no las puedo arrancar.
I can't tear them off.
Sueño
Dream
con el pasado que añoro,
with the past I long for,
el tiempo viejo que lloro
The Old Time I Cry
y que nunca volverá.
and that he will never come back.
Por seguir tras de su huella
To follow in your footsteps
yo bebí incansablemente
I drank tirelessly
en mi copa de dolor,
in my cup of sorrow,
pero nade comprendía
But Nade understood
que si todo yo lo daba
that if I gave everything
en cada vuelta dejaba
At every lap he left
pedazos de corazón.
pieces of heart.
Ahora, triste en la pendiente,
Now, sad on the slope,
solitario y ya vencido,
lonely and already defeated,
yo me quiero confesar.
I want to confess.
¡Si aquella boca mentía
If that mouth lied!
el amor que me ofrecía,
the love he offered me,
por aquellos ojos brujos
by those witch eyes
yo habría dado siempre más!
I would have always given more!
