Lyrics

Translation

A ti que de todo te ríes, y que nunca piensas

To you who laughs at everything, and never thinks

Y que vives esperando que otros, arreglen las cosas

And who lives hoping that others fix things

Mientras tu disfrutas, de lo que ellos consiguen

While you enjoy what they achieve


Yo traigo la verdad en mi palabra

I bring the truth in my word

Vengo a decirte de un niño sin abrigo

I come to tell you about a child without shelter

Vengo a decirte que hay inviernos que nos muerden

I come to tell you that there are winters that bite us

De la falta de un amigo

For lack of a friend


Vengo a contarte que hay luces que nos hieren

I come to tell you that there are lights that hurt us

Que existen noches sin whiskys ni placeres

That there are nights without whiskeys or pleasures

Vengo a decirte que esta cerca tu condena

I come to tell you that your condemnation is near

Hoy una madre murió de pena

Today, a mother died of sorrow


Déjame cantar tengo vergüenza

Let me sing, I am ashamed

De ser humano como tu y en tu presencia

Of being human like you, and in your presence

Descubrirme a mi mismo en tu figura

Discovering myself in your figure

Que poca cosa somos sin ternura

How little we are without tenderness


A ti que aún puedes reír, tan solo vengo a pedirte

To you who can still laugh, I just come to ask you

Un pequeño favor, que me des un minuto

A small favor, give me a minute

De tu tiempo mejor para darte lo mío

Of your better time to give you mine

En mi, mejor canción

In my best song


Yo traigo la verdad en mi palabra

I bring the truth in my word

Vengo a decirte de un niño sin abrigo

I come to tell you about a child without shelter

Vengo a decirte que hay inviernos que nos muerden

I come to tell you that there are winters that bite us

De la falta de un amigo

For lack of a friend


Vengo a contarte que hay luces que nos hieren

I come to tell you that there are lights that hurt us

Que existen noches sin whiskys ni placeres

That there are nights without whiskeys or pleasures

Vengo a decirte que esta cerca tu condena

I come to tell you that your condemnation is near

Hoy una madre murió de pena

Today, a mother died of sorrow


Déjame cantar tengo vergüenza

Let me sing, I am ashamed

De ser humano como tu y en tu presencia

Of being human like you, and in your presence

Descubrirme a mi mismo en tu figura

Discovering myself in your figure

Que poca cosa somos sin ternura

How little we are without tenderness
