Dolor de Mi Dolor

Pain of My Pain

Dolor de Mi Dolor

Oh, pain!¡Ay, dolor!

On the waves of the seaSobre las olas del mar
I sat down to sing my sorrowsMe senté a cantar mis penas
I wanted to fly and flyQuise volar y volar
Thought I could reach the starsPensé alcanzar las estrellas
I wanted to reach the skyQuería hasta el cielo llegar
And forget my sorrows that wayY olvidar así mis penas

There are sorrows that come from loveHay penas que son de amor
There are loves that are sorrowsHay amores que son penas
So strong that the heartTan fuertes que el corazón
Doesn't break, as they are chainsNo rompe, pues son cadenas
Chains that I carryCadenas que llevo yo
Like the sea carries the sandComo el mar lleva la arena

Oh, love! Pain of my pain¡Ay, amor! Dolor de mi dolor
Pain, how you have wounded meDolor, cómo me has herido
Oh, thorn of loveAy, espina del amor
That you have embedded within meQué dentro te me has metido

Far, very far I wentLejos, muy lejos fui
In my sad and faithful little boatEn mi triste y fiel barquilla
I wanted to reach the endQuise llegar hasta el fin
Fill myself with distanceLlenarme de lejanía
So that not a single complaintQue no quedara de mí
Would remain of meNi una sola queja mía

I wanted for the last timeQuise por última vez
To return to that shoreRegresar aquella orilla
Where I engravedAllí donde yo grabé
Two names in the sandDos nombres en la arenita
Where I leftAllí donde yo dejé
Pieces of my lifePedacitos de mi vida

Oh, love! Pain of my pain¡Ay, amor! Dolor de mi dolor
Pain, how you have wounded meDolor, cómo me has herido
Oh, thorn of loveAy, espina del amor
That you have embedded within meQué dentro te me has metido
