Lime and sand

Cal Y Arena

One of lime and one of sandUna de cal y otra de arena
The saying goes it's not a good thingDice el refrán no es cosa buena

(one of lime and one of sand)(una de cal y otra de arena)
(the saying goes, it's not a good thing)(dice el refrán no es cosa buena)

What you do to meLo que tú me haces a mí
It has no name or wordNo tiene nombre ni palabra
Because you don't have, you don't havePor no tener, no tiene
No hocus-pocusNi abracadabra

You disappear by magicDesapareces por arte de magia
You fade into the distanceTe desvaneces en la distancia
When you appear you don't say anythingCuando apareces no dices nada
Where do you come from? Pure ignoranceDe dónde sales?, pura ignorancia

You come smelling like mintVienes oliendo a hierbabuena
You come dreaming of another brunetteVienes soñando con otra morena
You come singing, how!, in your own wayVienes cantando, cómo!, a tu manera

(one of lime and one of sand)(una de cal y otra de arena)
The saying goes it's not a good thingDice el refrán no es cosa buena

(one of lime and one of sand)(una de cal y otra de arena)
The saying goes it's not a good thingDice el refrán no es cosa buena

What you do to meLo que tú me haces a mí
It has no name or wordNo tiene nombre ni palabra
Because you don't have, you don't havePor no tener, no tiene
No hocus-pocusNi abracadabra

When you want you come homeCuando tú quieres llegas a casa
As smiling as if nothingTan sonriente como si nada
Always waiting for her to be your saintSiempre esperando que sea tu santa
That woman who endures so muchEsa mujer que tanto aguanta

You come asking for rum and cinnamonVienes pidiendo ron y canela
You come touching me, your sorrowVienes tocando en mí, tu pena
You come singing, again!, in your own wayVienes cantando, otra vez!, a tu manera

(what you make me suffer, with your things)(lo que me haces sufrir, con tus cosas)
I don't know why you do it, I'm not jealous,Yo no sé por que lo haces yo no soy celosa,
I put up with you more than four thingsYo te aguanto más de cuatro cosas

(what you make me suffer, with your things)(lo que me haces sufrir, con tus cosas)
If I were the one who made you sadSi yo fuera aquella que te daba penas
That he left his mark on you and left with your friendQue te dejó huella y se fue con tu amigo
What's wrong with me boy!Qué te pasa conmigo chico!

(what you make me suffer, with your things)(lo que me haces sufrir, con tus cosas)
You disappear, then you appearTe desapareces, después apareces
Then you leave and you don't say anything, nothing, nothingEntonces te vas y no dices na', ni na', ni na'

(what you make me suffer, with your things)(lo que me haces sufrir, con tus cosas)
You go that way, you come back here, you don't even give me a kissTe vas por ahí, regresas acá ni un beso me das
You already have me tired, I'm leaving with my "sugar"!Ya me tienes cansa', me voy con mi "azúcar"!

(what you make me suffer, with your things)(lo que me haces sufrir, con tus cosas)
One of lime and one of sandUna de cal y otra de arena
You will pay it as a sentence, you scoundrel!Tú la pagarás como condena, sinvergüenza!

(what you make me suffer, with your things)(lo que me haces sufrir, con tus cosas)
I wish you no harmQue ningún mal te deseo
But I don't see your endPero tu final no veo

(Oh oh oh oh)(oh, oh, oh, oh)
(lime and sand, lime and sand)(cal y arena, cal y arena)
In this beautiful lifeEn esta vida tan linda
Everything is filled with loveTodo con amor se llena

(Oh oh oh oh)(oh, oh, oh, oh)
(lime and sand, lime and sand)(cal y arena, cal y arena)
But you have to have two basketsPero hay que tener dos canastas
One for the bad and one for the goodUna pa' la mala y otra pa' la buena

(Oh oh oh oh)(oh, oh, oh, oh)
(lime and sand, lime and sand)(cal y arena, cal y arena)
I advise you not to thinkYo te aconsejo no pienses
What you do I criticize youQue lo que haces te critico
I leave your sentence to GodA dios dejo tu condena
Don't be so bad boy!No seas tan malo chico!
No, there is no, there is no good thingNo, no hay, no hay cosa buena
