Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Sin Memoria by Julion Alvarez Y Su Norteño Banda from Spanish to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Yo nunca pido opiniones
I never ask for opinions
Y vaya que las ofrecen
And boy do they offer them.
Rara vez pido favores
I rarely ask for favors
Porque los pago con creces
Because I pay for them in spades.
Traigo bastante coraje ante tanta pregunta
I bring a lot of courage in the face of so many questions
Cuando el interrogador
When the interrogator
Ayer estuvo en mi junta
Yesterday he was on my board
Solicitando mi ayuda
Requesting my help
Oiga pues el que no escucha
Let him who does not listen therefore hear.
Nótese mi descontento
Note my discontent
La gente no tiene lucha
People have no struggle
Ni tampoco sentimiento
Nor feeling
Señor, no tiro la toalla por no ser cobarde
Lord, I don't throw in the towel for not being a coward
Pero es que mi situación
But my situation
No hallo por qué lado darle
I can't find which side to give
Más que puro pa' delante
More than pure pa' in front
Y es que aún hay tantas bocas por callar
And there are still so many mouths to shut up
Aún hay que poner en su lugar
Still needs to be put in place
A tanta gente que ha perdido la memoria
So many people who have lost their memory
A quien nadaba junto a mí en un mar de gloria
To the one who swam beside me in a sea of glory
Y simplemente ahora no está
And it's just not now.
Porque quiso y porque pudo
Because he wanted to and because he could
Y solamente porque ahora
And only because now
No tiene tunas el nopal
The cactus does not have prickly pear
Para que quede más claro
To make it clearer
Yo no pongo resistencia
I don't put up any resistance
Solo les pido un favor
I just ask you a favor
Que no agoten mi paciencia
Don't exhaust my patience
No se sientan ofendidos, me hago responsable
Don't be offended, I take responsibility
Lo que ahora digo dolido
What I now say hurt
Lo sostengo en modo amable
I hold it in a friendly way
Creo que es lo más razonable
I think it's the most reasonable thing to do.
Porque aún hay tantas bocas por callar
Because there are still so many mouths to shut up
Aún hay que poner en su lugar
Still needs to be put in place
A tanta gente que ahora ya tiene memoria
So many people who now have memories
A los que quieren volver conmigo a la gloria
To those who want to return with me to glory
Y simplemente ahora no estoy
And I'm just not now.
Porque quiero y porque puedo
Because I want to and because I can
Y sepan que a partir de ahora
And know that from now on
Metemos mente y corazón
We put mind and heart
