Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Tenía Que Decirlo by Manuel Carrasco from Spanish to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Tenía que decirlo
I had to say it.
Y aquel espejo sin rostro era el único que lo sabía
And that faceless mirror was the only one who knew.
Aparentaba por fuera y por dentro La vida llovía
It looked outside and inside Life was raining
En cada huella un laberinto
In each footprint a labyrinth
En cada beso un espejismo
In each kiss a mirage
Tenía que decirlo
I had to say it.
Hola, ¿qué tal?
Hi, how are you?
Cuánto tiempo sin verte
How long without seeing you
Te he estado esperando
I've been waiting for you
Esta es la última vez que te niego
This is the last time I deny you
Te escondo y me engaño
I hide you and deceive myself
Pero tenía que decirlo
But I had to say it.
Pero tenía que decirlo
But I had to say it.
No tengas miedo
Don't be afraid
Dilo de pronto
Say it suddenly
Grita tu cuerpo
Scream your body
Detrás del otro
Behind the other
Rompe el silencio
Break the silence
Que te castiga y vuela libre
That punishes you and flies free
Aunque duelan las heridas
Although wounds hurt
Pero ¿Quién soy?
But who am I?
Que me lo diga
Let him tell me
Tenía que decirlo
I had to say it.
Si aquella noche después de mil noches
If that night after a thousand nights
Falló la salida
Exit failed
Se liberó ya no pudo aguantarse
He freed himself and couldn't stand it
Los llantos, las risas
The tears, the laughter
El amor llamó a su puerta
Love knocked on his door
Y la puerta al fin se abría
And the door finally opened
Y no tuvo miedo
And he wasn't afraid.
Hablo de pronto
I'm suddenly talking
Se fue su cuerpo
Gone is his body
Detrás del otro
Behind the other
Rompió el silencio
Broke the silence
Sanó la herida
Healed the wound
Se sintió libre
He felt free
Como rosas sin espinas
Like roses without thorns
Si me preguntas
If you ask me
Vive tu vida
Live your life
