These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
José Sabía que no puede ser
José knew that it cannot be
Que esos amores no pueden durar
that these loves cannot last
Y que la vida es así
And that life is like that
Que te da sólo pa' quitarte
What gives you just to take away
Y así arrancó para algún callejón
And so she took off for some alley
Mirando nada, escuchando un adiós
Looking at nothing, listening to a goodbye
Adiós a todo placer
goodbye to all pleasure
Que te saque de la amargura
to get you out of bitterness
El mostrador ya no aguantaba más
The counter couldn't take anymore
De codo un callo y de pie por la fe
Elbow a callous and stand by faith
Que tiene el que se cayó
What does the one who fell have?
Para levantarse de nuevo
to rise again
Ya no había letras pa' su caminar
There were no longer letters for his walk
Amanecía y la feria otra vez
He dawned and the fair again
Buscándole su lugar
looking for his place
Para quien se la juega entero
For those who play it whole
Y sin embargo levantó
And yet she raised
Copas y copas al dolor
Drinks and drinks to pain
Al dolor de seguir vivo
to the pain of staying alive
Que es lo bueno que tiene el dolor
What is the good thing about pain?
Y también al placer de ganar y perder
And also to the pleasure of winning and losing
Cuando todo parece jodido es cuando hay que poner
When everything seems screwed up is when you have to put
El día se iba y con él su penar
The day was leaving and with it his grief
Ya taba listo pa' verla volar
I was ready to see her fly
'Que no se vaya a caer'
'That it will not fall'
Pensaba cuando cerraba el puesto
He thought when he closed the stall
Y así arranco para algún callejón
And so I start for some alley
Mirando nada, escuchando un adiós
Looking at nothing, listening to a goodbye
El amor sabe durar
love knows how to last
Lo que dura en llorar un muerto
How long it takes to mourn a dead person
Ya se olvidó de lo lindo que fue
He already forgot how cute he was
Ya se olvidó y no se va a acordar más
He already forgot and he won't remember anymore
Era feliz sin amor
he was happy without love
Pensaba y le caía una gota
He thought and a drop fell
No se me quede, José, por favor
Don't stay with me, José, please
Alguna vuelta le vamo' a encontrar
We're going to find him some way
Y déjese de pensar
and stop thinking
Que la música es una nota
that music is a note
Y con orgullo levantó
And proudly he raised
Copas y copas al dolor
Drinks and drinks to pain
Al dolor de seguir vivo
to the pain of staying alive
Que es lo bueno que tiene el dolor
What is the good thing about pain?
Y también al placer de ganar y perder
And also to the pleasure of winning and losing
Cuando todo parece jodido es cuando hay que poner
When everything seems screwed up is when you have to put
Si todo parece jodido es cuando hay que poner
If everything seems screwed up, that's when you have to put
