Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Promesas by José José from Spanish to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Cuando falla el amor
When love fails
Y no eriza la piel, hagamos lo que hagamos
And it doesn't bristle the skin, whatever we do
Y el hechizo se va
And the spell goes away
Y las caricias ya, no nacen en las manos
And caresses are no longer born in the hands
Cuando falla el amor, y los besos que das
When love fails, and the kisses you give
Ya no saben ardientes
They don't taste hot anymore
Cuando intentas seguir y luchas por sentir
When you try to keep going and struggle to feel
Eso que ya no sientes
That which you no longer feel
Promesas, escritas con el alma
Promises, written with the soul
Que pusieron al mundo a girar
That put the world on the go round
Hoy no sirven de nada
Today they are useless
Promesas, que fueron muy de veras
Promises, which were very real
No son más que quimeras, cuando falla el amor
They are nothing more than chimeras, when love fails
Cuando falla el amor y te sientes vivir
When love fails and you feel alive
Con la luz apagada
With the light off
Y miras el reloj, y te da la impresión
And you look at the clock, and it gives you the impression
De que el tiempo no pasa
That time does not pass
Cuando falla el amor, aquel precioso amor
When love fails, that precious love
Que juramos eterno
That we swear eternally
Cuando empieza a llegar el momento de amar
When the time to love begins to arrive
Y algo muere por dentro
And something dies inside
