Despierta, Mi Vida Lyrics in English Luz Casal
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Despierta, Mi Vida by Luz Casal from Spanish to English.
Me llaman raro porque me rio a destiempo
They call me weird because I laugh out of sync
Mi risa es solo un lamento que no puedo contener
My laughter is just a lament that I can't contain
Y en las horas más nerviosas de la noche
And in the most nervous hours of the night
Con violencia religiosa se abre paso la verdad
With religious violence, the truth makes its way
Me llaman raro porque siembro una esperanza
They call me weird because I sow hope
Siendo frágil la cosecha que tendré que recoger
Being fragile the harvest I'll have to reap
Me llaman raro y hasta inspiro mil temores
They call me weird and even inspire a thousand fears
Abatido pero erguido no me dejo derrotar
Defeated but upright, I don't let myself be defeated
No me dan miedo los caprichos de la suerte
I'm not afraid of luck's whims
La certeza de la muerte o lo que pueda perder
The certainty of death or what I might lose
Y no me asusta la inconstancia de la fama
And the fickleness of fame doesn't scare me
Mi vida entre las hormigas no me hace bien ni mal
My life among ants neither harms me nor benefits me
Me llaman raro porque no tengo memoria
They call me weird because I have no memory
Consideran peligrosos el olvido y el perdón
They consider forgetting and forgiveness dangerous
Me llaman raro siempre generosamente
They call me weird always generously
De la forma más idiota y con desmedida altivez
In the most idiotic way and with excessive arrogance
Me llaman raro las cenizas más antiguas
The oldest ashes call me weird
De las vidas que se apagan poco a poco sin sentir
Of lives that slowly fade away without feeling
Y gritan fuerte los que nunca han sido audaces
And loudly shout those who have never been bold
Los que ponen caras serias y me acusan de vivir
Those who put on serious faces and accuse me of living
No me dan miedo los caprichos de la suerte
I'm not afraid of luck's whims
La certeza de la muerte o lo que pueda perder
The certainty of death or what I might lose
Y no me asusta la inconstancia de la fama
And the fickleness of fame doesn't scare me
Mi vida entre las hormigas no me hace bien ni mal
My life among ants neither harms me nor benefits me
Siento el espanto compañero de los vicios
I feel the horror, companion of vices
Soy depravado a la antigua y no quiero transigir
I'm depraved in an old-fashioned way and I don't want to compromise
Qué puedo hacer si vivir no es ya un derecho
What can I do if living is no longer a right
Admitamos cuanto menos que es un hecho natural
Let's admit at least that it's a natural fact
Me llaman raro porque observo a los insectos
They call me weird because I observe insects
Tan brutal metamorfosis no me deja descansar
Such brutal metamorphosis doesn't let me rest
Siempre zumbado como fatal avispero
Always buzzing like a fatal wasp nest
Demostrando al mundo entero que la vida acaba mal
Showing the whole world that life ends badly
No me dan miedo los caprichos de la suerte
I'm not afraid of luck's whims
La certeza de la muerte o lo que puedo perder
The certainty of death or what I might lose
Y no me asusta la inconstancia de la fama
And the fickleness of fame doesn't scare me
Mi vida entre las hormigas no me hace bien final
My life among ants doesn't benefit me in the end
Todos, todos
Everyone, everyone
Me llaman raro
Calls me weird
Y las hormigas
And the ants
Me llama raro
Call me weird
No me dan miedo los caprichos de la suerte
I'm not afraid of luck's whims
La certeza la suerte o lo que pueda perder
The certainty of luck or what I might lose
Y no me asusta la inconstancia de la fama
And the fickleness of fame doesn't scare me
Mi vida entre las hormigas no me hace bien final
My life among ants doesn't benefit me in the end
