Juana Peña Lyrics in English Willie Colón , Héctor Lavoe
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Juana Peña by Willie Colón from Spanish to English.
RISTE Y VACÍA
SAD AND EMPTY
Ella va triste y vacia
she goes sad and empty
llorando una traicion con amargura
She goes sad and empty
por aquel que le decia
crying a betrayal with bitterness
que era su amor y su locura
by the one who told her
Ya la vida le ha enseñado demasiado
that he was her love and her madness
cometer el mismo error no le interesa
Life has already taught her too much
los amores que a tenido le fallaron
she's not interested in making the same mistake
y dejaron en el aire las promesas
the loves she's had have failed her
y dejaron en el aire las promesas
and left the promises in the air
Ella va triste y vacia
and left the promises in the air
llorando una traicion con amargura
crying a betrayal with bitterness
por aquel que le decia
She goes sad and empty
que era su amor y su locura
crying a betrayal with bitterness
va tratando de lograr lo que ha soñado
by the one who told her
aprovecha la experiencia de la vida
that he was her love and her madness
va olvidando sufrimientos del pasado
she's trying to achieve what she has dreamed of
la calumnia y la mentira la castigan
taking advantage of life's experience
la calumnia y la mentira la castigan
she's forgetting past sufferings
Ella va triste y vacia
slander and lies punish her
llorando una traicion con amargura
slander and lies punish her
por aquel que le decia
for the one she told him
que era su amor y su locura
She goes sad and empty
por aquel que le decia
crying a betrayal with bitterness
que era su amor y su locura
by the one who told her
pero en todo este pasaje de la vida
that he was her love and her madness
ha sabido mantenerse con decensia
by the one who told her
aunque muchos habladores la confundan
that he was her love and her madness
aunque muchos traten de inventar con ella
but throughout this passage of life
aunque muchos traten de inventar con ella
she has known how to maintain herself with decency
Ella va triste y vacia
although many gossipers confuse her
llorando una traicion con amargura
although many try to make things up about her
por aquel que le decia
although many try to make things up about her
que era su amor y su locura
that it was her love and her madness
que era su amor y su locura
She goes sad and empty
coro:ella va triste y vacia
crying a betrayal with bitterness
En su rostro se comprenden
by the one who told her
los fracasos de la vida
that he was her love and her madness
coro:ella va triste.....
that he was her love and her madness
la calumnia y la mentira
chorus: she goes sad and empty
y el desamor la castigan
On her face, one can understand
coro:ella va.....
the failures of life
fue que todo el mundo le fallo
chorus: she goes sad...
y ella no lo merecia
slander and lies
coro: ella va
and heartbreak punish her
por fracasos de la vida
chorus: she goes...
Así es que muere un amor
everyone failed her
hay que nadie comprendia
and she didn't deserve it
la promesa le fallaron
chorus: she goes
los errores de sofia
because of the failures of life
coro:ella va
That's how love dies
a donde ira la pobre
that nobody understood
niña triste y desolada
the promise failed her
pero que cosa le harian
Sofia's mistakes
coro:ella va........
chorus: she goes
caminaba tan orgullosa
where will the poor
y de su dolor nadie sabia
sad and desolate girl go?
coro:ella va...
but what could they have done to her?
mirala que linda biene
chorus: she goes...
mirala que linda va
she walked so proudly
a donde se esconderia
and no one knew about her pain
coro:ella va.......
chorus: she goes...
yo la vi llorando yo la vi
look how beautiful she comes
by Luis Rivasplata
look how beautiful she goes
