These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Si arrastré por estemundo
If I dragged through this world
la vergüenza de habersido
the shame of having been
y el dolor de ya no ser...
and the pain of no longer being...
Bajo el ala del sombrero,
under the brim of the hat,
cuántas veces embozada
how many times muffled
una lágrima asomada
a peeping tear
yo no pude contener...
I couldn't contain...
Si crucé por los caminos
If I crossed the roads
como un paria que el Destino
like an outcast than Fate
se empeño en deshacer...
tried to undo...
Si fui flojo, si fui ciego,
If I was lazy, if I was blind,
sólo quiero que comprendan
I just want you to understand
el valor que representa
the value it represents
el coraje de querer.
the courage to want
Era para mí la vida entera,
It was my whole life,
como un sol de primavera,
like a spring sun
mi esperanza y mí pasión.
my hope and my passion.
Sabía
Knew
que en el mundo no cabía
that there was no room in the world
toda la humilde alegría
all humble joy
de mi pobre corazón.
of my poor heart
Ahora,
Now,
cuesta abajo en mi rodada,
downhill on my ride,
las ilusiones pasadas
past illusions
yo no las puedo arrancar.
I can't start them.
Sueño
Dream
con el pasado que añoro,
with the past that I miss,
el tiempo viejo que lloro
the old time that I cry
y que nunca volverá.
and that it will never come back.
Por seguir tras de su huella
To follow after his footprint
yo bebí incansablemente
I drank tirelessly
en mi copa de dolor,
in my cup of pain,
pero nade comprendía
but no one understood
que si todo yo lo daba
what if I gave it all
en cada vuelta dejaba
at each turn he left
pedazos de corazón.
pieces of heart
Ahora, triste en la pendiente,
Now, sad on the slope,
solitario y ya vencido,
lonely and already defeated,
yo me quiero confesar.
I want to confess.
¡Si aquella boca mentía
If that mouth lied
el amor que me ofrecía,
the love that he offered me,
por aquellos ojos brujos
for those witchy eyes
yo habría dado siempre más!
I would have always given more!
