Tengo Miedo

I'm Afraid

Tengo Miedo

In the gambling of lifeEn la timba de la vida
I stood with seven and a halfme plante con siete y medio
being the only stopsiendo la unica parada
in life that I got right,de la vida que acerte,
I was already on the slopeyo ya estaba en la pendiente
of ruin without remedyde la ruina sin remedio
but one day I said "I'm out"pero un día dije "planto"
and that day I left.y ese día me plante.

I left the real barYo deje la barra rea
of the eternal caravande la eterna caravana
I moved away from the tangome aparte de la milonga
and its ranting obsession,y su rante berretin,
with the sadness of my nightcon lo triste de mi noche
I made a beautiful morning,hice una hermosa mañana,
cemetery of my lifecementerio de mi vida
turned into a garden!convertido en un jardin!

Bachelor pad, races, gambling,Garçonnière, carreras, timbas,
drinks of a vicecopetines de vicioso
and fleeting affections,y cariños pasajeros,
false kisses from a woman,besos falsos de mujer,
I buried everything in the forgetfulnesstodo enterre en el olvido
of the bustling pastdel pasado bullicioso
for the holy affectionpor el cariño santo
that a man can have!que un hombre puede tener!

Today you see, I am calm,Hoy ya ves, estoy tranquilo,
that's why I kindlypor eso es que buenamente
beg you not to comete suplico que no vengas
and disturb my sweet peace,a turbar mi dulce paz,
let me be with my mother,que me dejes con mi madre,
by her side in a saintly wayque a su lado santamente
I will build another lifeedificare otra vida
since I feel capable.ya que me siento capaz.

I beg you to leave me,Te suplico que me dejes,
I'm afraid of meeting youtengo miedo de encontrarte
because there is something in my existenceporque hay algo en mi existencia
that can't forget you;que no te puede olvidar;
I'm afraid of your eyes,tengo miedo de tus ojos,
I'm afraid of kissing you,tengo miedo de besarte,
I'm afraid of loving youtengo miedo de quererte
and starting over.y de volver a empezar.

Be good, don't look for me,Se buenita, no me busques,
stay away from my path,apartate de mi senda,
perhaps in another affectiontal vez en otro cariño
you will find your redemption,encontres tu redención,
you know I don't wantvos sabes que yo no quiero
my sweet talk to offend you,que mi chamuyo te ofenda,
it's just that I'm very afraides que tengo mucho miedo
that my heart will fail.que me falle el corazón.
