Hombre Lyrics in English José María Napoleón
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Hombre by José María Napoleón from Spanish to English.
Hombre de fachada triste
Man with a sad facade
Dale al tiempo buena cara
Give a good face to time
No seas casi mar, ni casi rio
Don't be almost sea, nor almost river
O se mar, o rio, o nada
Either sea, river, or nothing
Hombre de mediana estampa
Man of medium stature
Dale vida a tu esperanza
Give life to your hope
No es mejor el que va aprisa
The one who rushes is not better
Para caminar distancias
To walk distances
Para caminar distancias
To walk distances
Hombre si te dices hombre
Man, if you call yourself a man
No interrumpas tu jornada
Do not interrupt your journey
O harás de esta vida tumba
Or you will make this life a tomb
Y de la tumba morada
And the tomb a dwelling
Si has de tener una rosa
If you are to have a rose
Tienes que mirar la espina
You have to look at the thorn
Si no sabes del dolo
If you don't know of pain
No sabras de la alegría
You won't know of joy
No le pidas al señor
Don't ask the Lord
Hombre que te de una casa
Man to give you a house
Agradécele mejor
Thank Him instead
Que tienes vida y trabaja
For you have life and work
De que te sirve la voz
What good is your voice
Para que quieres palabras
Why do you want words
Si te espantas al menor
If you get scared at the slightest
Movimiento de aguas bravas
Movement of rough waters
Hombre si te dices hombre
Man, if you call yourself a man
No interrumpas tu jornada
Do not interrupt your journey
O harás de esta vida tumba
Or you will make this life a tomb
Y de la tumba morada
And the tomb a dwelling
Si has de tener una rosa
If you are to have a rose
Tienes que mirar la espina
You have to look at the thorn
Si no sabes del dolo
If you don't know of pain
No sabras de la alegría
You won't know of joy
No es mas hombre el que parece
The one who seems more of a man
Ni el que grita mas y espanta
Or the one who shouts more and scares
Sino el que tiene en su voz
But the one who has in his voice
La verdad de su palabra
The truth of his word
Ni el que tiene mas mujeres
Not the one with more women
Ni el que bebe mas y aguanta
Or the one who drinks more and endures
Sino el que tiene una sola
But the one who has only one
Y una sed para calmarla
And a thirst to quench it
Hombre si te dices hombre
Man, if you call yourself a man
No interrumpas tu jornada
Do not interrupt your journey
O harás de esta vida tumba
Or you will make this life a tomb
Y de la tumba morada
And the tomb a dwelling
Si has de tener una rosa
If you are to have a rose
Tienes que mirar la espina
You have to look at the thorn
Si no sabes del dolo
If you don't know of pain
No sabras de la alegria
You won't know of joy
