Por Un Poco De Placer Lyrics in English Luis Alberto Posada
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Por Un Poco De Placer by Luis Alberto Posada from Spanish to English.
Una noche que sentía el más cruel aburrimiento
One night when I felt the cruelest boredom
Me fui a un bar donde mujeres se van a vender placer
I went to a bar where women go to sell pleasure
Entre las que allí bebían, encontré una al momento
Among those who were drinking there, I found one at once
Y recuerdo que con ella bebí hasta más no poder
And I remember that with her I drank as much as I could
No sé cómo, a ese lugar, mi esposa había llegado
I don't know how my wife had gotten to that place
Y al encontrarme embriagado a casa me fue a llevar
And when she found me drunk home she went to take me
Pero aquella perdida, por celosa, había clavado
But that loss, out of jealousy, she had nailed
A mi esposa en un costado un traicionero puñal
To my wife in the side a treacherous dagger
'No pienses en castigarla', antes de morir me dijo
'Don't think about punishing her', before she died she told me
Porque si te llevan preso, dime quién podrá cuidar
Because if they take you prisoner, tell me who can take care of you
Que no le falte en la vida nada, nada a nuestro hijo
May our son not lack anything in life, nothing
Y por eso me contuve y no la quise matar
And that's why I held back and didn't want to kill her
Para mí es como un infierno este mundo en que vivimos
For me, this world we live in is like hell
Pues con mi propia conciencia, no puedo vivir en paz
Well with my own conscience, I cannot live in peace
Por un poco de placer, mi esposa había perdido
For a little pleasure, my wife had lost
Y aquel inocente niño se ha quedado sin mamá
And that innocent child has been left without a mother
'No pienses en castigarla', antes de morir me dijo
'Don't think about punishing her', before she died she told me
Porque si te llevan preso, dime quién podrá cuidar
Because if they take you prisoner, tell me who can take care of you
Que no le falte en la vida nada, nada a nuestro hijo
May our son not lack anything in life, nothing
Y por eso me contuve y no la quise matar
And that's why I held back and didn't want to kill her
Que no le falte en la vida nada, nada a nuestro hijo
May our son not lack anything in life, nothing
Y por eso me contuve y no la quise matar
And that's why I held back and didn't want to kill her
