Lyrics
Porque la quería
no quiso papeles
ni hacer proyectos con vistas al futuro
No confiaba en el
y quiso estar seguro
que cotidianamente
tendría que ganarla
con el sudor de su frente.
Porque la quería
no quiso con ella
hacer un nido en donde abandonarse.
no confiaba en El
y quiso asegurarse
Porque la quería
por no despertarla
dejo de dirigirle la palabra
No confiaba en El ni se atrevióa cambiarla
Y puso en pie de guerra
su buena fe y sus sentidos
por llegar a conocerla.
Porque la quería
se fue para siempre,
quiso poner a salvo aquella imagen
No confio en ella
y quiso asegurarse.
Lyrics translation
Because I loved her
he didn't want papers.
nor do projects with a view to the future
I didn't trust him.
and he wanted to be sure
that daily
I'd have to win it.
with the sweat on his forehead.
Because I loved her
he didn't want her.
make a nest where to leave.
I didn't trust him.
and he wanted to make sure
Because I loved her
for not waking her up
I stop speaking to you
She didn't trust him or dare change it.
And put on the warpath
your good faith and your senses
to get to know her.
Because I loved her
he's gone forever.,
he wanted to save that image.
I don't trust her.
and he wanted to make sure.
