Las Coplas: Lyrics in English José Alfredo Jiménez
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Las Coplas: by José Alfredo Jiménez from Spanish to English.
Se me acabo la fuerza
I ran out of strength
De mi mano izquierda
From my left hand
Voy a dejarte el mundo
I'm going to leave the world
Para ti solita
Just for you
Como al caballo blanco
Like I let go of the reins
Le solté la rienda
Of the white horse
A ti también te suelto
I'm also letting you go
Y te me vas ahorita
And you're leaving me now
Y cuando al fin comprendas
And when you finally understand
Que el amor bonito
That the beautiful love
Lo tenias conmigo
You had it with me
Vas a extrañar mis besos
You're going to miss my kisses
En los propios brazos
In the very arms
Del que este contigo
Of the one you're with
Vas a sentir que lloras
You're going to feel like crying
Sin poder siquiera
Without even being able
Derramar tu llanto
To shed your tears
Y has de querer mirarte
And you'll want to see yourself
En mis ojos claros
In my clear eyes
Que quisiste tanto
That you wanted so much
Que quisiste tanto
That you wanted so much
Que quisiste tanto
That you wanted so much
Cuando se quiere a fuerza
When you forcefully want
Rebasar la meta
To surpass the goal
Y se abandona todo
And you abandon everything
Lo que se ha tenido
That you've had
Como tú traes el alma
Just like you carry your soul
Con la rienda suelta
With the reins loose
Ya crees que el mundo es tuyo
You already think the world is yours
Y hasta me das tu olvido
And you even forget about me
Y cuando al fin comprendas
And when you finally understand
Que el amor bonito
That the beautiful love
Lo tenias conmigo
You had it with me
Vas a extrañar mis besos
You're going to miss my kisses
En los propios brazos
In the very arms
De el que este contigo
Of the one you're with
Vas a sentir que lloras
You're going to feel like crying
Sin poder si quiera
Without even being able
Derramar tu llanto
To shed your tears
Y has de querer mirarte
And you'll want to see yourself
En mis ojos claros
In my clear eyes
Que quisiste tanto
That you wanted so much
Que quisiste tanto
That you wanted so much
Que quisiste tanto
That you wanted so much
Te solté la rienda
I let go of the reins
