Un Mundo Raro
José Alfredo JiménezLyrics
Translation
Cuando te hablen de amor y de ilusiones
When they speak to you about love and illusions
Y te ofrezcan un Sol y un cielo entero
And offer you a whole sun and sky
Si te acuerdas de mi no me menciones
If you remember me, don't mention me
Porque vas a sentir amor del bueno
Because you're going to feel true love
Y si quieren saber de tu pasado
And if they want to know about your past
Es preciso decir una mentira
It's necessary to tell a lie
Di que vienes de allá de un mundo raro
Say that you come from a strange world
Que no sabes llorar
That you don't know how to cry
Que no entiendes de amor
That you don't understand love
Y que nunca has amado
And that you've never loved
Porque yo, adonde voy
Because I, wherever I go
Hablare de tu amor
I will speak of your love
Como un sueño dorado
As a golden dream
Y olvidando el rencor
And forgetting resentment
No diré que tu adiós me volvió desgraciado
I won't say that your goodbye made me unhappy
Y si quieren saber de mi pasado
And if they want to know about my past
Es preciso decir otra mentira
It's necessary to tell another lie
Les diré que llegue de un mundo raro
I'll tell them I came from a strange world
Que no se del dolor
That I don't know about pain
Que triunfe en el amor
That I triumph in love
Y que nunca he llorado
And that I've never cried
