Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Fíjate Que No by María José from Spanish to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
En tus manos aprendí a beber agua
In your hands I learned to drink water
Fui gorrión que se quedo preso en tu jaula
I was a sparrow that was imprisoned in your cage
Porque yo corté mis alas, y el alpiste que me dabas
Because I cut my wings, and the birdseed that you gave me
Fue tan poco y sin embargo yo te amaba
It was so little and yet I loved you
Fue mi canto para ti siempre completo
It was my song for you always complete
Sin tí no pude volar en otro cielo
Without you I could not fly in another sky
Pero me dejaste solo, confundido y olvidado
But you left me alone, confused and forgotten
Y otra mano me ofreció el fruto anhelado
And another hand offered me the longed for fruit
Lo que un día fue, no será
What one day was, will not be
Ya no vuelvas a buscarme
don't come back to look for me
No tengo nada que darte
I have nothing to give you
De tu alpiste me cansé
I got tired of your birdseed
Vete a volar a otro cielo
Go fly to another sky
Y deja abierta tu jaula
And leave your cage open
Tal vez otro gorrión caiga
Maybe another sparrow will fall
Pero dale de beber
but give him a drink
Dejame encender la luz, no quiero nada
Let me turn on the light, I don't want anything
Si esto hubiera sido ayer lo tomaría
If this had been yesterday I would take it
La primera vez que ofreces para que yo aquí me quede
The first time you offer for me to stay here
Pero sin amarte ya, que ganaría
But without loving you now, what would I win
