Below, I translated the lyrics of the song El Árbol by La Oreja de Van Gogh from Spanish to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Era una tarde de mucho calor
It was a very hot afternoon
Cuando pararon a descansar
When they stopped to rest
Bajo las ramas de un sauce llorón
Under the branches of a weeping willow
Comenzaron a soñar
They began to dream
Se hizo de noche, ella no estaba
It got dark, she wasn't
El bosque era un juego de sombras
The forest was a play of shadows
Pasaron horas, muchas mañanas
Hours, many mornings passed
Tardes enteras buscando su calor
Whole afternoons looking for its warmth
Y nunca imaginó quién provocó su soledad
And he never imagined who caused his loneliness.
El árbol que robo su ilusión, su corazón
The tree that stole his illusion, his heart
Era ese viejo arbol, se acercó y de pronto descubrió
It was that old tree, he approached and suddenly discovered
Que no eran gotas lo que resbalaban
That it wasn't drops that slipped
Eran lágrimas de su amor
They were tears of his love.
Se fue acercando y lentamente
It got closer and slowly
Se unió al cuerpo de su enemigo
He joined his enemy's body
Y en su interior pudo escuchar
And inside he could hear
Esos latido que le quitaron pero
Those heartbeat that took away but
Nunca imaginó quién provocó su soledad
He never imagined who caused his loneliness
El árbol que robo su ilusión, su corazón
The tree that stole his illusion, his heart
Su corazón, su corazón
Your heart, your heart
Su corazón, su corazón
Your heart, your heart
Su corazón, su corazón
Your heart, your heart
