Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Ni En Defensa Propia by Vicente Fernández from Spanish to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Por primera vez no metí ni las manos
For the first time I didn't even put my hands in
Ni en defensa propia evité la caída
Not even in self-defense did I avoid the fall
Yo que anduve huyendo de un mundo de engaños
I who was fleeing from a world of deception
Vine a dar de lleno a lo peor de la vida
I came to give up the worst of life
La primera vez que te tuve en mis brazos
The first time I held you in my arms
Me decías llorando que no habías pecado
You told me in tears that you had not sinned.
Pero ya tenías no se cuántos fracasos
But you already had I don't know how many failures
Y querías borrar con mi amor tu pecado
And you wanted to erase your sin with my love
Ya tenías el rostro cubierto de besos
Your face was already covered with kisses
Y en tu ser las huellas que dejan las penas
And in your being the traces left by sorrows
Si después de amarte te hicieron desprecio
If after loving you they made you contempt
Yo no he de pagar por las deudas ajenas
I do not have to pay for the debts of others
Te podría jurar que te amé con locura
I could swear I loved you madly
Y jamás pense que llegara a perderte
And I never thought I'd lose you
Pero en vez de amores, me diste amarguras
But instead of love, you gave me bitterness
Y así como eres prefiero perderte
And as you are I prefer to lose yourself
Ya tenías el rostro cubierto de besos
Your face was already covered with kisses
Y en tu ser la huella que dejan las penas
And in your being the mark left by sorrows
Si después de amarte te hicieron desprecio
If after loving you they made you contempt
Yo no he de pagar por las deudas ajenas
I do not have to pay for the debts of others
