¿Por Qué Me Amas Tanto?

Why Do You Love Me So Much?

¿Por Qué Me Amas Tanto?

What is that love that I don't understand¿Qué es ese amor que no comprendo
That doesn't leave if I offend itQue no se marcha si le ofendo
That goes and looks for me if I leave?Que va y me busca si me voy?

What is that love that I don't understand¿Qué es ese amor que no lo entiendo
That strips itself of its attireQue se despoja de su atuendo
And goes to find me where I am?Y va y me busca donde estoy?

That doesn't hold a grudge in its memory, noQue no guarda rencor en su memoria, no
Despite being able to judge my whole storyPudiendo juzgar toda mi historia
And even though I fail and hurt itY aunque le fallo y le duele
It returns with its brushesVuelve con sus pinceles
To paint a smile on my facePa’ pintar la sonrisa en mi rostro

I can't take it anymore and I bow downYa no aguanto más y me postro
Before its nobility surrounded by lightAnte su nobleza rodeada de luz
And with my cross on its backY en su espalda mi peso de cruz
I ask you with my tearsTe pregunto con mi llanto
Jesus, why do you love me so much?Jesús, ¿por qué me amas tanto?

Why do you embrace me when I fail you?¿Por qué me abrazas cuando te fallé?
If I silenced your life before desireSi ante el deseo tu vida callé
And you cover me with your cloakY me abrigas con tu manto
Why do you love me so much?¿Por qué me amas tanto?

Why do you love me so much and so much¿Por qué me amas tanto y tanto
If sometimes I don't even think of you that much?Si a veces ni te pienso tanto?

But in the meantime I search for you and keep you informedPero en tanto te busco y te dejo al tanto
Of my terrorDe mi espanto
And the pressure that I can no longer bearY la presión que ya no aguanto
Your hand appears among manyAparece tu mano entre tantos
And you cover me with your holy and singing cloakY me abrigas con tu manto santo y canto

But with sorrow I can barely go on my kneesPero con pena apenas voy de rodillas
Elbows on the chair, thinking you will hold a grudgeCodos en la silla pensando que tendrás rencilla
For not walking my other milePor no andar mi otra milla
Or not turning my other cheekO no poner mi otra mejilla
Or for being foolish in a systemO por ser necio ante un sistema
Where almost no one shines and is humiliatedDonde casi nadie brilla y se humilla

For watering the seed poorlyPor regar mal la semilla
For being a stumbling blockPor ser piedra de tropiezo
For turning off the light bulbPor apagar la bombilla
And not being light in the processY no ser luz en el proceso

I confess that sometimes I don't talk to youConfieso que a veces no te hablo
That's why I'm not one of those who betrayPor eso no soy de los que traicionan
To later plant you a kissPa' después sembrarte un beso
And you should have left me, imprisoned by my negligenceY preso debiste dejarme, preso por mi negligencia
You took away my name and put yours in the sentenceQuitaste mi nombre y pusiste el tuyo en la sentencia

What is that love?¿Qué es ese amor?
I don't know if you want to explain it to meNo sé si quieras explicarme
How is it that I fail you and yet you want to save me?¿Cómo es que yo te fallo y aún así quieres salvarme?

That doesn't hold a grudge in its memory, noQue no guarda rencor en su memoria, no
Despite being able to judge my whole storyPudiendo juzgar toda mi historia
And even though I fail and hurt itY aunque le fallo y le duele
It returns with its brushes to paint a smile on my faceVuelve con sus pinceles pa' pintar la sonrisa en mi rostro

I can't take it anymore and I bow downYa no aguanto más y me postro
Before its nobility surrounded by lightAnte su nobleza rodeada de luz
And with my cross on its backY en su espalda mi peso de cruz
I ask you with my tearsTe pregunto con mi llanto
Jesus, why do you love me so much?Jesús, ¿por qué me amas tanto?

Why do you embrace me when I fail you?¿Por qué me abrazas cuando te fallé?
If I silenced your life before desireSi ante el deseo tu vida callé
And you cover me with your cloakY me abrigas con tu manto
Why do you love me so much? Woh-oh¿Por qué me amas tanto? Woh-oh

How do you pay my price¿Cómo es que pagas mi precio
When I owe you so much?Cuando te debo con creces?
How do you grant me favor¿Cómo me otorgas favor
When I don't deserve it?Cuando no se merece?
Thank you, oh-ohGracias, oh-oh
For loving me so muchPor amarme tanto
