Obsesión Lyrics in English Peter Manjarrés
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Obsesión by Peter Manjarrés from Spanish to English.
Qué dice tu mirada
What does your gaze say
Qué cosa extraña tus ojos tienen
What strange thing your eyes have
Cuando miro tu foto
When I look at your photo
Una rara obsesión me detiene
A strange obsession stops me
Dios mío, tú que eres el creador
My God, you who are the creator
De todas las cosas bellas
Of all the beautiful things
Que hay en el mundo
That exist in the world
Por qué no escuchas hoy mis peticiones
Why don't you listen to my pleas today
Hiciste médicos para todos los males
You made doctors for all the illnesses
Pero por qué no creaste uno
But why didn't you create one
Que pueda curar un mal de amores
That can cure a love sickness
Yo quisiera que la tierra girara al revés
I would like the earth to spin backwards
Para hacerme pequeño y volver a nacer
To make myself small and be born again
Y no tener que volver a extrañarte
And not have to miss you again
Ni en tu fotografía mirarme
Nor look at your photograph
Ni llevarte fundida en mi pecho
Nor carry you melted in my chest
Como si fueras parte de mí
As if you were a part of me
Barranquilla, ciudad de cantores
Barranquilla, city of singers
De vallenatos y de acordeones
Of vallenatos and accordions
Ella adorna tus calles, decíle
She adorns your streets, tell her
Que le deseo que sea feliz
That I wish her to be happy
Que la ultima canción que compongo
That the last song I compose
Que no creo volver a enamorarme
I don't think I'll fall in love again
Pero dime cómo hiciste, negra
But tell me, how did you do it, my love
Para olvidarte de mí
To forget about me
La gente me critica
People criticize me
Porque ahora ya no soy parrandero
Because now I'm no longer a partygoer
Con tu partida, negra
With your departure, my love
Siento más frio, muero en silencio
I feel colder, I die in silence
Cuida bien mis retoños
Take good care of our children
Porque tú sabes que yo los quiero
Because you know that I love them
Dios mío dame fuerzas
My God, give me strength
Para continuar con este canto
To continue with this song
Recuerdo un mes de octubre tu cumpleaños
I remember an October month, your birthday
Te juro que trato y no he podido
I swear I try and I haven't been able to
Busca el remedio para olvidarlo
Find the remedy to forget it
Yo quisiera que la tierra girara al revés
I would like the earth to spin backwards
Para hacerme pequeño y volver a nacer
To make myself small and be born again
Y no tener que volver a extrañarte
And not have to miss you again
Ni en tu fotografía mirarme
Nor look at your photograph
Ni llevarte fundida en mi pecho
Nor carry you melted in my chest
Como si fueras parte de mí
As if you were a part of me
Barranquilla, ciudad de cantores
Barranquilla, city of singers
De vallenatos y de acordeones
Of vallenatos and accordions
Ella adorna tus calles, decíle
She adorns your streets, tell her
Que le deseo que sea feliz
That I wish her to be happy
Que la ultima canción que compongo
That the last song I compose
Que no creo volver a enamorarme
I don't think I'll fall in love again
Pero dime cómo hiciste, negra
But tell me, how did you do it, my love
Para olvidarte de mí
To forget about me
