Below, I translated the lyrics of the song La canción del desamor by Jarabe de Palo from Spanish to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
No me creo lo que veo
I don't believe what I see
Es verdad o es un sueño
Is it true or is it a dream
Una sombra en el desierto
A shadow in the desert
Es un regalo del cielo
It's a gift from heaven
Una hermosa primavera
A beautiful spring
Mermelada de frambuesa
Raspberry marmalade
Un bombón de caramelo
A candy bonbon
Pero qué bonita eres!
But how pretty you are!
Con cuidado que me acerco
With care that I approach
Se me pone malo el cuerpo
My body makes me sick
Pura roca, puro hielo
Pure rock, pure ice
El más dulce de los venenos
The sweetest of poisons
¡Pero qué te he hecho yo!
But what have I done to you!
Que del palo que me has dado
That of the stick that you have given me
Me duelen todos lo huesos
All my bones ache
¡Pero qué maldita eres!
But how damn you are!
Que hay peor que un desamor, que me estés
That there is worse than a lack of love, that you are me
No señor, no hay nada peor
No sir, there is nothing worse
Qué hay peor que un desamor, que me trates como
What's worse than a lack of love, that you treat me like
No señor, no hay nada peor
No sir, there is nothing worse
Pero qué te he hecho yo
But what have I done to you
Si es que no te pido nada
If I don't ask for anything
Tan siquiera una mirada
Even a glance
¡Pero qué maldita eres!
But how damn you are!
Pero que te he hecho yo
But what have I done to you?
Pa que tú me des la espalda
So that you turn your back on me
Que no soy una rata
That I am not a rat
¡Pero que bonita eres!
But how pretty you are!
