Below, I translated the lyrics of the song La Ley y La Trampa by Chaqueño Palavecino from Spanish to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Yo que fije las reglas
I set the rules
que llevé la riendas, que hice la ley
that I took the reins, that I made the law
tú que ponías cara
you who put face
carita de nada, dejándome hacer.
Little face of nothing, letting me do it.
Yo que un amor dejaba
I that a love left
cuando otro llegaba sin comparecer
when another arrived without appearing
tú sin un solo alarde
you without a single boast
poquito más tarde me hiciste caer.
a little later you made me fall.
En tu boca mordí la manzana
In your mouth I bit the apple
carmín del deseo y la tentación
carmine of desire and temptation
pero no imaginé que dictando la ley
but I did not imagine that dictating the law
en la trampa caería yo.
I would fall into the trap.
Puras leyes, puras trampas
pure laws, pure traps
inventamos al amor
we invented love
y seguimos adelante
and we move on
corazón a corazón.
heart to Heart.
Ay florcita traviesa
Oh naughty little flower
pusiste entre rejas a este picaflor
you put this hummingbird behind bars
y hoy tus leyes se cumplen
and today your laws are fulfilled
y mi barco se hunde en tu mar de amor.
and my ship sinks in your sea of love.
Yo que inventé este juego
I who invented this game
de escapar a tiempo no me quiero ir
to escape in time I don't want to go
tú sin mover un dedo
you without lifting a finger
me diste el señuelo que te puse a ti.
You gave me the lure that I put on you
