El rey pobre
Valentín Elizalde
Lyrics
Translation
Cuando sientas cansada la vida y odies a ese hombre
When life feels tired and you hate that man
Y si acaso te queda memoria recuerdame a mi,
And if by chance memory remains, remember me,
que te sigue esperando con ansias siempre este rey pobre
That this poor king is always waiting for you eagerly
que vendio hasta el palacio por verte dichosa y feliz
Who sold even the palace to see you joyful and happy
porque yo no compre tu pobreza, ni tu amor, ni tus besos
Because I did not buy your poverty, nor your love, nor your kisses
por amarte con toda mi vida y con palabra de rey
To love you with all my life and with the word of a king
mi fortuna la puse en tus manos y con ella te fuiste
I placed my fortune in your hands, and with it, you left
y a un rey pobre dejaste con ganas de volverte a ver
And a poor king you left, longing to see you again
un rey pobre llorando dia y noche veras por las calles sufriendo de amor,
A poor king crying day and night, you will see through the streets, suffering from love,
y sus ojos mirando un retrato sin decirle a nadie cual es su dolor,
And his eyes looking at a portrait without telling anyone what his pain is
si se caen las torres mas altas por eso un rey pobre por amor quedo.
If the tallest towers fall, that's why a poor king remains for love.
porque yo no compre tu pobreza, ni tu amor, ni tus besos
Because I did not buy your poverty, nor your love, nor your kisses
por amarte con toda mi vida y con palabra de rey
To love you with all my life and with the word of a king
mi fortuna la puse en tus manos y con ella te fuiste
I placed my fortune in your hands, and with it, you left
y a un rey pobre dejaste con ganas de volverte a ver
And a poor king you left, longing to see you again
un rey pobre llorando dia y noche veras por las calles sufriendo de amor,
A poor king crying day and night, you will see through the streets, suffering from love,
y sus ojos mirando un retrato sin decirle a nadie cual es su dolor,
And his eyes looking at a portrait without telling anyone what his pain is
si se caen las torres mas altas por eso un rey pobre por amor quedo.
If the tallest towers fall, that's why a poor king remains for love.
