Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Tu Cárcel by Lila Downs from Spanish to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Te vas por que quieres
You go because you want
Si así lo quieres que le voy a hacer
If you want it that way, I'm going to do it
Tu vanidad no te deja entender
Your vanity does not let you understand
Que en la pobreza se sabe querer
that in poverty one knows how to love
Y quiero llorar
and i want to cry
Y me destroza que pienses así
And it destroys me that you think so
Y mas ahora me quede sin ti
And more now I'm left without you
Me duele lo que tu vas a sufrir
It hurts what you are going to suffer
Pero recuerda
But remember
Nadie es perfecto
Nobody is perfect
Y tu lo veras
And you will see it
Tal vez mil cosas mejores tendrás
Maybe a thousand better things you will have
Pero un cariño sincero jamas
But a sincere love never
Vete olvidando
go forgetting
De eso que hoy dejas y que cambiaras
Of what you leave today and what you will change
Por la aventura que tu ya veras
For the adventure that you will see
Sera tu cárcel y nunca saldrás
It will be your jail and you will never get out
Y quiero llorar
and i want to cry
Y me destroza que pienses así
And it destroys me that you think so
Y mas ahora me quede sin ti
And more now I'm left without you
Me duele lo que tu vas a sufrir
It hurts what you are going to suffer
Pero recuerda
But remember
Nadie es perfecto
Nobody is perfect
Y tu lo veras
And you will see it
Tal vez mil cosas mejores tendrás
Maybe a thousand better things you will have
Pero un cariño sincero jamas
But a sincere love never
Vete olvidando
go forgetting
De eso que hoy dejas y que cambiaras
Of what you leave today and what you will change
Por la aventura que tu ya veras
For the adventure that you will see
Sera tu cárcel y nunca saldrás
It will be your jail and you will never get out
Pero recuerda
But remember
Nadie es perfecto
Nobody is perfect
Y tu lo veras
And you will see it
Tal vez mil cosas mejores tendrás
Maybe a thousand better things you will have
Pero un cariño sincero jamas
But a sincere love never
