Por Que
Alejandro Fernández
Lyrics
Translation
Yo no sabia llorar
I didn't know how to cry
pero estoy aprendiendo
but I'm learning
solo sabia ganar
I only knew how to win
y me miras perdiendo
and you see me losing
jamas imagine
I never imagined
que existiera el tormento
that torment existed
me toco pagar
I had to pay
los bellos momentos
for the beautiful moments
yo siempre fui feliz
I was always happy
y mas libre que el viento
and freer than the wind
sin penas ni dolor
without sorrows or pain
me paseaba contento
I strolled content
pero llegaste tu
but then you arrived
cual salida de un cuento
like something out of a tale
y en vez de darme amor
and instead of giving me love
me acabaste por dentro
you consumed me inside
por que te conoci
why did I meet you
por que cai contigo
why did I fall for you
habiendo tanto labios
with so many lips around
tuve que besar los que son mi castigo
I had to kiss the ones that are my punishment
por que me enamore
why did I fall in love
maldita sea mi suerte
damn my luck
hoy tengo libertad
today I have freedom
pero de que me sirve si no puedo verte
but what good is it if I can't see you
yo siempre fui feliz
I was always happy
y mas libre que el viento
and freer than the wind
sin penas ni dolor
without sorrows or pain
me paseaba contento
I strolled content
pero llegaste tu
but then you arrived
cual salida de un cuento
like something out of a tale
y en vez de darme amor
and instead of giving me love
me acabaste por dentro
you consumed me inside
por que te conoci
why did I meet you
por que cai contigo
why did I fall for you
habiendo tanto labios
with so many lips around
tuve que besar los que son mi castigo
I had to kiss the ones that are my punishment
por que me enamore
why did I fall in love
maldita sea mi suerte
damn my luck
hoy tengo libertad
today I have freedom
pero de que me sirve si no puedo verte
but what good is it if I can't see you
por que te conoci
why did I meet you
por que cai contigo
why did I fall for you
habiendo tanto labios
with so many lips around
tuve que besar los que son mi castigo
I had to kiss the ones that are my punishment
por que me enamore
why did I fall in love
maldita sea mi suerte
damn my luck
hoy tengo libertad
today I have freedom
pero de que me sirve si no puedo verte
but what good is it if I can't see you
