Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Plazos Traicioneros by Celia Cruz from Spanish to English.
Cada vez que te digo lo que siento
Every time I tell you how I feel
Tu siempre me respondes
You always respond to me
Deja ver, deja ver
Let me see, let me see
Si mañana puede ser
If tomorrow can be
Lo que tu quieres
What you want
Pero así, van pasando las semanas
But like this, the weeks go by
Pasando sin lograr, lo que yo quiero
Passing without achieving what I want
Yo no sé, para que, para que
I don't know, why, why
Son esos plazos traicioneros
Are those treacherous deadlines
Traicioneros, porque me condenan
Treacherous, because they condemn me
Y me llenan de desesperación
And fill me with despair
Yo no sé si me dices, que mañana
I don't know if you tell me, that tomorrow
Porque a otra le entregaste el corazón
Because you gave your heart to someone else
Cada vez, que te digo lo que siento
Every time, I tell you how I feel
No sabes como yo, me desespero
You don't know how desperate I become
Si tu Dios, es mi Dios
If your God is my God
Para que son esos plazos traicioneros
Why are those treacherous deadlines
Traicioneros, porque me condenan
Treacherous, because they condemn me
Y me llenas de desesperación
And you fill me with despair
Yo no sé, si me dices que mañana
I don't know, if you tell me that tomorrow
Porque a otra le entregaste el corazón
Because you gave your heart to another
Cada vez, que te digo lo que siento
Every time I tell you what I feel
No sabes como yo, me desespero
You don't know how I despair
Si tu Dios, es mi Dios
If your God, he is my God
Para que son esos plazos traicioneros
What are those treacherous deadlines for?
