Filled with vivid imagery and complex lyrics, this song is a difficult challenge to interpret and present in an understandable way. I hope you will not be disappointed.-Sandy
Uno busca lleno de esperanzas
el camino que los sueños
prometieron a sus ansias
sabe que la lucha es cruel
y es mucha
pero lucha y se desangra
por la fe
que lo empecina
Full of hope, One searches
for the path, that his dreams
promised would fulfill his longings.
He knows that the fight
is cruel and long,
but he fights and bleeds,
-for faith keeps
him, stubbornly, going on.
Uno va arrastrándose
entre espinas
y en su afán
de dar su amor
sufre y se destroza
hasta entender
que uno se ha quedado
sin corazón
One goes along, dragging himself
through thorns,
And in his eagerness
to give his love,
suffers and is torn apart,
-until he realizes
that he has been left
with a broken heart.
Precio de castigo
que uno entrega
por un beso que no llega
o un amor que lo engañó
vacío ya de amar y
de llorar tanta traición
The punishing price
that One (willingly) surrenders to,
-for a kiss that never comes,
-or a lover who deceived and cheated,
leaves him empty inside and
weeping from betrayal.
Si yo tuviera el corazón
el corazón que dí
si yo pudiera como ayer
querer sin presentir
If I still had the (same) heart,
the heart that I gave away...
if I could, like yesterday,
love without foreboding...
es posible que a tus ojos
que me gritan su cariño
los cerrara con mis besos
sin pensar que eran como esos
otros ojos, los perversos,
los que hundieron mi vivir
Then it's possible, that your eyes,
which cry out with affection,
I could close with my kisses,
-without my thinking they were like
those other eyes, those wicked ones
that ruined my life
Si yo tuviera el corazón,
el mismo que perdi
si olvidara a la
que ayer lo destrozó
y pudiera amarte
me abrazaría a tu ilusión
para llorar tu amor
If I still had the (same) heart,
the same one that I lost,
-If I could forget the one,
who, yesterday, broke my heart,
and could love you,
I would embrace your lovely dream
and weep, from happiness, for your love
