Below, I translated the lyrics of the song El fantasma de Canterville by Charly García from Spanish to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Yo era un hombre bueno, si hay alguien bueno en este lugar
I was a good man, if there is someone good in this place
Pagué todas mis deudas pagué oportunidad de amar
I paid all my debts I paid chance to love
Sin embargo estoy tirado
however i'm thrown
y nadie se acuerda de mi
and no one remembers me
Paso a través de la gente como el fantasma de Canterville
I walk through people like the Canterville ghost
Me han ofendido mucho y nadie dio una explicación
They have offended me a lot and no one gave an explanation
Ay si pudiera matarlos lo haría sin ningún temor
Oh, if I could kill them, I would do it without any fear
Pero siempre fui un tonto
But I was always a fool
que creyó en la legalidad
that he believed in legality
ahora que estoy afuera ya se lo que es la libertad
Now that I'm outside I know what freedom is
Ahora que puedo amarte, nena. yo voy amarte de verdad
Now that I can love you, baby. I'm going to really love you
Mientras me quede aire, calor nunca te va faltar
As long as I have air left, you will never lack heat
Y jamas volveré a fijarme
And I will never notice again
en la cara de los demás
in the face of others
esa careta idiota que tira y tira para tras
that idiot mask that pulls and pulls back
He muerto muchas veces acribillado en la ciudad
I have died many times riddled with bullets in the city
pero es mejor ser muerto que un numero que viene y va
but it's better to be dead than a number that comes and goes
Y en mi tumba tengo perros y cosas que no me hacen mal
And in my grave I have dogs and things that do me no harm
Después de muerto nena vos me vendrás a visitar
After I'm dead, baby, you will come to visit me
