Lyrics
Si arrastre por este mundo
La verguenza de haber sido
Y el dolor de ya no ser
Bajo el ala del sombrero.
Cuantas veces, embozada,
Una lagrima asomada yo no pude contener
Si vagu por los caminos
Como un paria que el destino.
Se empeo en deshacer
Si fui flojo, si fui ciego,
Solo quiero que comprendan
El valor que representa el coraje de querer.
Era, para mi la vida entera
Como un sol de primavera
Mi esperanza y pasin,
Sabia que en el mundo no caba.
Toda la humilde alegra de mi pobre corazn
Ahora cuesta abajo en mi rodada
Las ilusiones pasadas
Ya no las puedo arrancar.
Sueo, con el pasado que aoro,
El tiempo viejo que lloro
Y que nunca volver
Por seguir tras de su huella
Yo beb incansablemente.
En mi copa de dolor
Pero nadie comprenda
Que si todo yo lo daba
En cada vuelta dejaba
Pedazos de corazn.
Ahora triste en la pendiente,
Solitario y ya vencido,
Yo me quiero confesar,
Si aquella boca menta,
El amor que me ofreca,
Por aquellos ojos brujos
Yo habra dado siempre mas
Era, para mi la vida entera.
Lyrics translation
If you drag through this world
The shame of having been
And the pain of no longer being
Under the wing of the hat.
How many times, embozada,
A tear peeked out I couldn't hold back
If I wander the roads
As an outcast as fate.
He started to undo
If I was lazy, if I was blind,
I just want you to understand
The value represented by the courage to want.
It was, for me the whole life
Like a spring sun
My hope and pasin,
I knew it wouldn't fit in the world.
All the humble joy of my poor heart
Now downhill on my roll
Past illusions
I can't rip them off anymore.
Sueo, with the past that aoro,
The old time I cry
And never come back
For following in his footsteps
I drink tirelessly.
In my cup of pain
But no one understands
That if I gave everything
At every turn left
Pieces of heart.
Now sad on the slope,
Lonely and already beaten,
I want to confess,
If that mouth is Mint,
The love that offers me,
By those witch-eyes
I will have always given more
It was, for me, my whole life.
