¡UNO! (ONE)
Music by Marianito Mores
Lyrics by Enrique Santos Discépolo
Translation by Coby Lubliner
Uno busca lleno de esperanzas el camino que los sueños prometieron a sus ansias... Sabe que la lucha es cruel y es mucha pero lucha y se desangra por la fe que lo empecina. Uno va arrastrándose entre espinas y en su afán de dar su amor sufre y se destroza hasta entender, que uno se ha quedado sin corazón... Precio de castigo que uno entrega por un beso que no llega o un amor que lo engañó. Vacío ya de amar y de llorar tanta traición!... Si yo tuviera el corazón, Si yo tuviera el corazón, Pero, Dios te puso en mi camino |
Seaching, full of hope ones always searching For the way that dreams had promised To relieve ones fear of living And one knows the struggles hard And lengthy but one struggles and one bleeds for The belief that has one driven. Through the thorns one drags oneself and suffers In the zeal to give ones love, And is ruined till one understands That one has been left without a heart... Its the price one pays when one is punished For a kiss thats never coming Or a love that was betrayed. Ones empty now of loving and of tears For such bad faith! If I still had my beating heart, The heart I gave away... If I could love unwarily As I could yesterday... Then perhaps I would be able, When I see your eyes so loving, Still to close them with my kisses... Without thinking that theyre like those Other eyes, so full of cheating, Ones that led my life astray... If I still had my beating heart,
But its God who brought you here, not thinking |
