Dime cómo me arranco del alma esta pena de amor
Tell me how I tear this heartache of love from my soul
Esta pena de amor, esta pena de amor
This heartache of love, this heartache of love
Dime cómo me arranco pa' siempre este inmenso dolor
Tell me how I tear out this immense pain forever
De esta pena de amor, de esta pena de amor
From this heartache of love, from this heartache of love
Esta pena de amor que por siempre me acompaña
This heartache of love that forever accompanies me
Y que no me deja descansar
And that doesn't let me rest
Es la tristeza azul que me dejó tu despedida
It's the blue sadness that your goodbye left me
Y que ya no puedo ni nana
Y que ya no puedo ni nana
Y que ya no me deja ni soñar, vuelve
And that no longer lets me even dream, come back
Dime cómo me arranco del alma esta pena de amor
Tell me how I tear this heartache of love from my soul
Esta pena de amor, ay esta pena de amor
This heartache of love, oh this heartache of love
Dime cómo me arranco pa' siempre este inmenso dolor
Tell me how I tear out this immense pain forever
De esta pena de amor, ay de esta pena de amor, poncha
From this heartache of love, oh from this heartache of love, poncha
Di, di, di, cómo arranco esta pena
Say, say, say, how I tear out this sorrow
Di, di, di, di, cómo aguanto esta pena
Say, say, say, say, how I endure this sorrow
Pena, pena más grande
Sorrow, greatest sorrow
Pena, pena que da dolor
Sorrow, sorrow that causes pain
Ahí es que vivo peleando, por culpa de ella y su amor
That's why I live fighting, because of her and her love
Di, di, di, di, cómo arranco esta pena
Say, say, say, say, how I tear out this sorrow
Di, di, di, di, cómo aguanto esta pena
Say, say, say, say, how I endure this sorrow
Como arranco ay de mi alma, ese amor que me envenena
How I tear out oh from my soul, that love that poisons me
Como voy a arrancar, esta horrible condena
How will I tear out, this horrible curse

Did you like this lyrics translation?
condena — sentence / condemnation
Condena translates to "sentence" or "condemnation." While it can refer to a legal sentence, in this song, it's used in a more metaphorical and emotional sense.
Willie Colón sings about this "horrible condena" (horrible condemnation) to describe the inescapable pain and sorrow of a lost love. It's a strong word that conveys a feeling of being trapped and burdened by an emotional fate, making it a powerful and memorable choice.
