La Copa Rota Lyrics in English José Feliciano
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song La Copa Rota by José Feliciano from Spanish to English.
Aturdido y abrumado, por la duda de los celos
Stunned and overwhelmed, by the doubt of jealousy
Se ve triste en la cantina a un bohemio ya sin fe
One sees a bohemian already without faith, sad in the bar
Con los nervios destrozados y llorando sin remedio
With shattered nerves and crying helplessly
Como un loco atormentado por la ingrata que se fue
Like a madman tormented by the ungrateful woman who left
Se ve siempre acompañado del mejor de los amigos
He's always accompanied by the best of friends
Que le acompaña y le dice, ya esta bueno de licor
Who accompanies him and tells him, that's enough liquor
Nada remedia con llanto, nada remedia con vino
Nothing is remedied with crying, nothing is remedied with wine
Al contrario la recuerda mucho más tu corazón
On the contrary, your heart remembers her much more
Una noche como un loco mordió la copa de vino
One night like a madman he bit the wine glass
Y le hizo un cortante filo que su boca destrozó
And it made a sharp edge that destroyed his mouth
Y la sangre que brotaba, confundiose con el vino
And the blood that flowed, mixed with the wine
Y en la cantina este grito a todos estremeció
And in the bar this scream shook everyone
No te apures compañero si me destrozo la boca
Don't worry, friend, if I destroy my mouth
No te apures que es que quiero con el filo de esta copa
Don't worry, it's because I want with the edge of this glass
Borrar la huella de un beso traicionero que me dio
To erase the mark of a treacherous kiss she gave me
Mozo, sírvame la copa rota, sírvame que me destroza
Waiter, serve me the broken glass, serve me, it's destroying me
Esta fiebre de obsesión
This fever of obsession
Mozo, sírvame la copa rota
Waiter, serve me the broken glass
Quiero sangrar gota a gota
I want to bleed drop by drop
El veneno de su amor
The poison of her love
Mozo, sírvame la copa rota, sírvame que me destroza
Waiter, serve me the broken glass, serve me, it's destroying me
Esta fiebre de obsesión
This fever of obsession
Mozo, sírvame la copa rota
Waiter, serve me the broken glass
Quiero sangrar gota a gota, ja ja ja
I want to bleed drop by drop, ha ha ha
El veneno de su amor
The poison of her love
