El Mártir Lyrics in English Diomedes Diaz , Juancho Rois
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song El Mártir by Diomedes Diaz from Spanish to English.
Le pidieron centavos de oro
They asked him for golden pennies
Le pidieron la vida completa
They asked him for his whole life
Y él se la entrego, la entrego
And he gave it, he gave it
No había noche que no la esperara
There wasn't a night he didn't wait for her
En un parque cerca de su casa
In a park near his house
Y allí se quedó, se quedó
And there he stayed, he stayed
Le pidieron cantar sus canciones
They asked him to sing his songs
Y enseguida cogió su guitarra
And he quickly grabbed his guitar
Y empezaba a soñar con su voz
And started to dream with his voice
Si la luna pedía, se la daba
If the moon asked, he gave it to her
No había nada, nada
There was nothing, nothing
Le entregaba la luna y el sol, es el sol
He gave her the moon and the sun, it's the sun
El mártir suspiraba allí en al arena
The martyr sighed there in the sand
El mártir no pensaba en el dolor
The martyr didn't think about the pain
Quizá lo quiso tanto que su vida
Maybe he loved her so much that his life
Más nunca fue la misma, se acabó
Was never the same again, it ended
Y en la iglesia ya se va a casar
And in the church he's going to marry
Con un hombre distinto porque
A different man because
No se puede entregar el corazón
You can't give away your heart
Le había dicho su madre una vez
His mother had told him once
¿Por qué lo hiciste?
Why did you do it?
Yo jamás pedí que me adoraras
I never asked you to worship me
¿Por qué te obligaron a mentirme?
Why were you forced to lie to me?
¿Y qué pude hacerles yo?
And what could I do to them?
¿Por qué Dios mío
Why my God
Si era tan difícil engañarme?
If it was so hard to deceive me?
Ojalá tú seas feliz y nadie
I hope you are happy and no one
Te haga pagar tu traición
Makes you pay for your betrayal
El mártir solitario se va
The lonely martyr leaves
Mas nunca vuelve a creer en el amor
But never believes in love again
El mártir solitario se va
The lonely martyr leaves
Mas nunca vuelve a creer en el amor
But never believes in love again
Le pidieron besar el silencio
They asked him to kiss the silence
Y corría a buscar el camino de la soledad, soledad
And he ran to find the path of loneliness, loneliness
Los momentos mis lindos vivía
He lived the most beautiful moments
Él creyó ser la envidia de todos
He thought he was the envy of everyone
Y ese fue el error de un mortal
And that was a mortal's mistake
Le pidieron borrar su inocencia
They asked him to erase his innocence
Y empezó a conocer la malicia
And he began to know malice
A olvidarse de Dios, de su Dios
To forget about God, his God
No quería ni acordarse del pueblo
He didn't even want to remember the people
Los amigos nobles y sinceros
The noble and sincere friends
Él los olvidó, se olvidó
He forgot them, he forgot
El mártir llora herido su tristeza
The martyr cries wounded by his sadness
El mártir de su historia es perdedor
The martyr in his story is a loser
Quizás el día que supo la noticia
Perhaps the day he found out the news
Su risa para siempre se apagó
His laughter forever faded
Y en la iglesia guirnaldas se ven
And in the church, garlands are seen
Y a una novia le dan bendición
And a bride receives blessings
No entendía cómo pudo fingir
He didn't understand how he could pretend
Por qué fue de tan mal corazón
Why was he so evil-hearted
¿Por qué lo hiciste?
Why did you do it?
Yo jamás pedí que me adoraras
I never asked you to worship me
¿Por qué te obligaron a mentirme?
Why were you forced to lie to me?
¿Y qué pude hacerles yo?
And what could I do to them?
¿Por qué Dios mío
Why my God
Si era tan difícil engañarme?
If it was so hard to deceive me?
Ojalá tú seas feliz y nadie
I hope you are happy and no one
Te haga pagar tu traición
Makes you pay for your betrayal
El mártir solitario se va
The lonely martyr leaves
Mas nunca vuelve a creer en el amor
But never believes in love again
El mártir solitario se va
The lonely martyr leaves
Mas nunca vuelve a creer en el amor
But never believes in love again
Mas nunca solitario se va
But he never leaves alone
El mártir vuelve a creer en el amor
The martyr starts to believe in love again
El mártir solitario se va
The lonely martyr leaves
Mas nunca vuelve a creer en el amor
But never believes in love again
Mas nunca solitario se va
But he never leaves alone
El mártir vuelve a creer en el amor
The martyr starts to believe in love again
