Pena Clavada

Embedded Pain

Pena Clavada

I carry an embedded painTraigo una pena clavada
Like a stab in the thoughtComo puñalada en el pensamiento
Like a laughter turning into lamentComo carcajada que se hace lamento
As if laughing at me while cryingComo si llorando se rieran de mi
It's the damn harshness I carryEs la cruda maldita que traigo
Reproaching having been like this.Reprochando el haber sido asi.

In my garden a goldfinchEn mi jardin un jilguero
Died before I could understandSe murio primero que lo comprendiera
The fountain dried up when it shouldn't haveSe seco la fuente que nunca debiera
And a wild mother also dried upY una madre selva tambien se seco
Your affection like a wandering birdTu cariño como ave alburera
Without thinking, also left me.Sin pensarlo tambien me dejo.

My punishment and guilt will beMi castigo y mi culpa sera
Knowing too much painConocer demasiado el dolor
For the sorrows and disappointmentsPor las penas y los desengaños
That your love has given me for so many yearsQue por tantos años me ha dado tu amor
In case you wanted to returnPor si a caso quisieras volver
Forgetting your old grudgeOlvidando tu viejo rencor
You will find me in front of a glass of wineMe hallaras frente a un trago de vino
The only path your love left me.Mi unico camino que me dejo tu amor.
