El Abrojito
Llevo como abrojito prendido dentro del corazón una pena
Porque te fuiste ingrata del nido y a mi vida tan serena condenaste así al dolor
Nunca podré arrancar de mi pecho; nunca el abrojito punzante
Y ando con todo el mal que me has hecho
Con el alma agonizante sin fe; sin nido ni amor
No sé por qué te alejaste de mi
Si te adoré con creciente fervor
No sé por qué me engañabas así
Sin mostrar tu desamor
Con tu querer yo era un hombre feliz
Nunca pensé que tu ardiente pasión
Era el puñal que me habría de abrir
Esta herida del corazón
Quiero que en tu vivir errabundo sepas que solo y entristecido
Marcho por los senderos del mundo
Con recuerdos que han prendido como abrojo de cardal
Pido que alguna vez tropecemos; para saber si al fin has hallado
Todo lo que inconsciente has soñado y quizá después podamos los dos volver a empezar
No sé por qué te alejaste de mi
Si te adoré con creciente fervor
No sé por qué me engañabas así
Sin mostrar tu desamor
Con tu querer yo era un hombre feliz
Nunca pensé que tu ardiente pasión
Era el puñal que me habría de abrir
Esta herida del corazón
The Little Thorn
I carry like a little thorn stuck inside my heart a sorrow
Because you ungratefully left the nest and condemned my serene life to such pain
I will never be able to remove from my chest; never the piercing little thorn
And I walk with all the harm you have done to me
With a soul in agony without faith; without nest or love
I don't know why you distanced yourself from me
If I adored you with growing fervor
I don't know why you deceived me like that
Without showing your lack of love
With your love I was a happy man
I never thought that your burning passion
Was the dagger that would open
This wound in my heart
I want you to know in your wandering life that I am alone and saddened
I walk through the paths of the world
With memories that have stuck like thorns from a thistle
I hope that someday we stumble upon each other; to see if you have finally found
Everything you unconsciously dreamed of and maybe then we can both start over
I don't know why you distanced yourself from me
If I adored you with growing fervor
I don't know why you deceived me like that
Without showing your lack of love
With your love I was a happy man
I never thought that your burning passion
Was the dagger that would open
This wound in my heart
