El Cobarde Lyrics in English Diego Verdaguer
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song El Cobarde by Diego Verdaguer from Spanish to English.
Ella elegía canciones en un pasadiscos
She chose songs on a record player
Yo me tomaba un café en el mostrador
I was having a coffee at the counter
Vi que dejo una moneda y su mano temblaba
I saw her leave a coin and her hand was trembling
Pero a pesar del murmullo mi voz escuche
But despite the murmur, I heard my voice
Luego encendí un cigarrillo para que me viera
Then I lit a cigarette so she could see me
Ella seguía escuchando en el disco mi voz
She kept listening to my voice on the record
Quise acercarme a su lado para sonreirle
I wanted to approach her to smile at her
Vi que lloraba bajito por esa canción
I saw her crying softly because of that song
Por que llorar el amor es así como viene se marcha
Because crying, love is like that, it comes and goes
No hay solución solo queda el recuerdo y alguna canción
There's no solution, only the memory and some song remain
Por que llorar el amor es así como se viene se marcha
Because crying, love is like that, it comes and goes
Pronto veras que lo que te a pasado se habrá de olvidar
Soon you'll see that what happened to you will be forgotten
Ella seguía apoyada y envuelta en su pena
She kept leaning and wrapped in her sorrow
Pero al volverse de pronto me reconoció
But when she turned suddenly, she recognized me
Y fui acercándome lento por entre la gente
And I slowly approached through the crowd
Vi que sus ojos hablaban de la soledad
I saw her eyes speaking of loneliness
Y con dulzura le dije que a todos nos pasa
And gently I told her that it happens to all of us
Quise explicarle a mi modo que aquella canción
I tried to explain in my own way that that song
No la compuse para que llorara una niña
I didn't write it for a girl to cry
Yo de saberlo no habría cantado jamas
If I had known, I would have never sung it
Por que llorar el amor es así como viene se marcha
Because crying, love is like that, it comes and goes
No hay solución solo queda el recuerdo y alguna canción
There's no solution, only the memory and some song remain
Por que llorar el amor es así como se viene se marcha
Because crying, love is like that, it comes and goes
Pronto veras que lo que te a pasado se habrá de olvidar
Soon you'll see that what happened to you will be forgotten
Por que llorar el amor es así como viene se marcha
Because crying, love is like that, it comes and goes
No hay solución solo queda el recuerdo y alguna canción
There's no solution, only the memory and some song remain
Por que llorar el amor es así como viene se marcha
Because crying, love is like that, it comes and goes
Pronto veras que lo que te ha pasado se habrá de olvidar
Soon you'll see that what happened to you will be forgotten
