The page contains the lyrics and English translation of the song "Con Tantos Palos Que Te Dio La Vida" by Mercedes Sosa.
Lyrics
Con tantos palos que te dio la vida
y aún sigues dándole a la vida sueños.
Eres un loco que jamás se cansa
de abrir ventanas y sembrar luceros.
Con tantos palos que te dio la noche,
tanta crueldad, frío y tanto miedo.
Eres un loco de mirada triste
que sólo sabe amar con todo el pecho,
fabricar papalotes y poemas y otras patrañas
que se lleva el viento.
Eres un simple hombre alucinado,
entre calles, talleres y recuerdos.
Eres un pobre loco de esperanzas
que siente como nace un mundo nuevo.
Con tantos palos que te dio la vida
y no te cansas de decir «te quiero».
Lyrics translation
With so many sticks he gave you life
and you still give life dreams.
You're a madman who never tires
to open windows and plant Night Lights.
With so many sticks that gave you the night,
so cruel, so cold and so afraid.
You're a sad-looking madman.
who only knows how to love with all his chest,
making papalotes and poems and other nonsense
that takes the wind.
You're just a hallucinated man.,
between streets, workshops and memories.
You're a poor fool of hope
that feels like a new world is born.
With so many sticks he gave you life
and you don't get tired of saying "I love you."
