For Love

Por Amor

I asked a pastor about loveYo le pregunté a un pastor del amor
And he told me to give it to GodY el me dijo que se lo entregara a Dios
Not to feel alone, that being alone was betterQue no me sintiera solo, que estar solo era mejor
Than living in an illusionQue vivir de una ilusión
I asked an artist about love at first sightYo le pregunté a un artista del amor a primera vista
He said it was a mistakeDijo que era un error
That it was for novelists, dreamersQue eso era de novelista, soñadores
That in life you have to be more realisticQue en la vida hay que ser más realista

And now that I don't have youY ahora que no te tengo
I think of all the lost timePienso en todo el tiempo perdido
That I lost... with youQue perdí... contigo
Because by loving you blindly I...Pues por amarte a ciegas yo...
Didn't listen, and I threw myself into the void for loveNo escuché, y me lancé al vacío por amor
Everyone told me, everyone warned meTodos me dijeron, todos me advertían
That there are flowers with thornsQue hay flores que tienen espinas

I asked a man about love and he told meYo le pregunté a un señor del amor y el me dijo
That ignoring it was betterQue ignorarlo era mejor
That I was young and money should be more importantQue yo era joven y el dinero debería ser más importante
Than a thousand lovesQue mil amores
I asked an old man, on a distant boulevardYo le pregunté a un anciano, en un boulevard lejano
About love and passionsDel amor y las pasiones
He said 'My son, it's a double-edged sword, it cuts, it hangs by a thread'Me dijo "Hijo mío, es un cristal de doble filo y corta, te guinda de un hilo"

And now that I don't have youY ahora que no te tengo
I think of all the lost timePienso en todo el tiempo perdido
That I lost... with youQue perdí... contigo
Because by loving you blindly I...Pues por amarte a ciegas yo...
Didn't listen, and I threw myself into the void for loveNo escuché, y me lancé al vacio por amor
Everyone told me, everyone warned meTodos me dijeron, todos me advertían
That there are flowers with thornsQue hay flores que tienen espinas

Sometimes I deny the LordA veces me niego hacia al Señor
And it forces me to make bad decisionsY me obliga a tomar decisiones de malos gustos
To take a different pathA tomar un diferente camino
That it's proven that I walk in sufferingQue esta demostrado que camino en sufrimiento

And now that I don't have youY ahora que no te tengo
I think of all the lost timePienso en todo el tiempo perdido
That I lost... with youQue perdí... contigo
Because by loving you blindly I...Pues por amarte a ciegas yo...
Didn't listen, and I threw myself into the void for loveNo escuché, y me lancé al vacio por amor
Everyone told me, everyone warned meTodos me dijeron, todos me advertían
That there are flowers with thorns.Que hay flores que tienen espinas.
