El Precio
Joan Sebastian
Lyrics
Translation
Aquella que va, camino al altar
She who goes, on the way to the altar
Iba a casarse conmigo
She was going to marry me
Pero no quiso el destino
But destiny didn't want it
Manito del alma
Little hand of the soul
Y escucha lo que te digo
And listen to what I tell you
Ya hasta el destino se vende
Even destiny is for sale now
Y no hizo trato conmigo
And it didn't make a deal with me
Decía su papa, decía su mama
Her dad used to say, her mom used to say
Ese no es hombre pa' mi hija
He's not the man for my daughter
Porque sabian que en la vida
Because they knew that in life
Manito del alma
Little hand of the soul
Yo traigo el Sol por cobija
I bring the Sun as a blanket
Ellos pusieron el precio
They set the price
No le llegue a la tarifa
But I didn't meet the tariff
Yo si la quise, la quise y la quiero
I did love her, I loved her and I love her
Pero el dinero falto
But money was lacking
Y por faltarme el maldito dinero
And because of the damn money shortage
Conmigo no se caso
She didn't marry me
Porque no quiso el destino
Because destiny didn't want it
Manito del alma
Little hand of the soul
Y escucha lo que te digo
And listen to what I tell you
Ya hasta el destino se vende
Even destiny is for sale now
Y no hizo trato conmigo
And it didn't make a deal with me
Decía su papa, decía su mama
Her dad used to say, her mom used to say
Ese no es hombre pa' mi hija
He's not the man for my daughter
Porque sabian que en la vida
Because they knew that in life
Manito del alma
Little hand of the soul
Yo traigo el Sol por cobija
I bring the Sun as a blanket
Ellos pusieron el precio
They set the price
No le llegue a la tarifa
But I didn't meet the tariff
Yo si la quise, la quise y la quiero
I did love her, I loved her and I love her
Pero el dinero falto
But money was lacking
Y por faltarme el maldito dinero
And because of the damn money shortage
Conmigo no se caso
She didn't marry me
Porque no quiso el destino
Because destiny didn't want it
Manito del alma
Little hand of the soul
Y escucha lo que te digo
And listen to what I tell you
