Maldita Soledad
Grupo Cali
Lyrics
Translation
La noche me sorprende
The night surprises me
Y yo quiero escaparme
And I want to escape
No quiero que me envuelvas
I don't want you to envelop me
Maldita soledad
Damned loneliness
Que triste que es mi mundo
How sad is my world
Tan solo cuatro esquinas
Only four corners
Y es tan fria mi celda
And my cell is so cold
Tan lejos de mi hogar
So far from my home
Donde estan mis amigos
Where are my friends
De aquellas largas noches
From those long nights
Compañeros del humo
Companions of smoke
Y de muchas cosas mas
And many other things
Amigos inventados
Invented friends
En noches de alegrias
In nights of joy
De mi ya se olvidaron
They have already forgotten me
Que triste me da
How sad it makes me
Noche de tristeza y de soledad
Night of sadness and loneliness
Que triste que es la vida del prisionero
How sad is the life of the prisoner
Contando los dias que corren lento
Counting the days that pass slowly
Esperando ancioso su libertad
Waiting anxiously for his freedom
Quisiera en esta noche
I would like on this night
Crear un canto nuevo
To create a new song
Y en vuelo de palomas
And in the flight of doves
Que llegue hasta mi hogar
That reaches my home
Y compartir la mesa
And share the table
Con mi madre querida
With my dear mother
Pero es un imposible
But it's impossible
Y me pongo a llorar
And I start to cry
Noche de tristeza y de soledad
Night of sadness and loneliness
Que triste que es la vida del prisionero
How sad is the life of the prisoner
Contando los dias que corren lento
Counting the days that pass slowly
Esperando ancioso su libertad
Waiting anxiously for his freedom
