Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Un Mundo Raro by Lila Downs from Spanish to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Cuando te hablen de amor
When they talk to you about love
Y de ilusiones
and of illusions
Y te ofrezcan un sol
And they offer you a sun
Y un cielo entero
And a whole sky
Si te acuerdas de mí
If you remember me
No me menciones
Don't mention me
Porque vas a sentir
Because you are going to feel
Y si quieren saber
And if you want to know
De tu pasado
from your past
Es preciso decir una mentira
It is necessary to tell a lie
Dí que vienes de allá
Say you come from there
De un mundo raro
From a strange world
Que no sabes llorar
that you don't know how to cry
Que no entiendes de amor
That you don't understand love
Que no entiendes de amor
That you don't understand love
Y que nunca has amado
And that you have never loved
Porque yo a donde voy
Because where am I going?
Hablaré de tu amor
I will talk about your love
Como un sueño dorado
like a golden dream
Y olvidando el rencor
And forgetting the resentment
No diré que tu adiós
I won't say your goodbye
Me volvió desgraciado
made me miserable
Y si quieren saber
And if you want to know
Es preciso decir otra mentira
It is necessary to tell another lie
Les diré que llegué
I will tell you that I arrived
De un mundo raro
From a strange world
Que no sé del dolor
I don't know about pain
Que triunfé en el amor
that I triumphed in love
Y que nunca
and that never
