Leña de Pirul
Lola Beltrán
Lyrics
Translation
Siempre que me hablan de ti
Whenever they speak to me about you
Es para hacerme llorar
It's to make me cry
Siempre que me hablan de ti
Whenever they speak to me about you
Es pa'darme la queja
It's to give me the complaint
Que te ha ido muy mal
That things have gone very badly for you
Con lágrimas te advertí
I warned you with tears
Solo te van a engañar
They will only deceive you
Y hoy de fracaso en fracaso
And today, from failure to failure
Mencionas mi nombre
You mention my name
Y eso me hace llorar
And that makes me cry
Cuánto quieres porque me olvides
How much do you want for you to forget me
Cuánto quieres porque me dejes
How much do you want for you to leave me
Cuánto valen tus desprecios
How much are your despises worth
Cuánto quieres porque te largues
How much do you want for you to leave
Y me dejes vivir en paz
And let me live in peace
Pobre leña de pirul
Poor kindling of pirul
Que no sirves ni pa'arder
That is not even good for burning
Pobre leña de pirul
Poor kindling of pirul
Que no sirves ni pa'arder
That is not even good for burning
Nomas para hacer llorar
Just to make one cry
Cuánto quieres porque me olvides
How much do you want for you to forget me
Cuánto quieres porque me dejes
How much do you want for you to leave me
Cuánto valen tus desprecios
How much are your despises worth
Cuánto quieres porque te largues
How much do you want for you to leave
Y me dejes vivir en paz
And let me live in peace
Pobre leña de pirul
Poor kindling of pirul
Que no sirves ni pa'arder
That is not even good for burning
Pobre leña de pirul
Poor kindling of pirul
Que no sirves ni pa'arder
That is not even good for burning
Nomas para hacer llorar
Just to make one cry
