El Rescate
Desde la plaza de armas de un lugar cualquiera,
Te escribo una carta para que tú sepas
Lo que ya sabías, aunque no lo dijeras.
Espero que llegue a tus manos y, que no la devuelvas.
Que pagues el rescate que abajo te indico.
Yo tampoco me explico, por qué no acudí antes a ti.
Pero nadie puede salvarme, nadie sabe lo que sabes,
Y tampoco entregarían lo que vale mi rescate.
No hay dinero, ni castillos, ni avales, ni talonarios,
No hay en este mundo, -aunque parezca absurdo-,
Ni en planetas por descubrir, lo que aquí te pido.
Y no te obligo a nada que no quieras.
Las fuerzas me fallan, mis piernas no responden;
Te conocen, pero no llegan a ti.
Decidí por eso mismo, un mecanismo de defensa.
Y presa como está mi alma, con la calma suficiente,
Ser más fuerte, y enfrentarme cuanto antes a la verdad,
Sin dudar un segundo, lo asumo, sólo tú puedes pagar el rescate.
Devuélveme el amor que me arrebataste,
O entrégaselo, lo mismo me da, al abajo firmante;
Pues no hay en este mundo, -aunque parezca absurdo-,
Ni en planetas por descubrir, lo que aquí te pido.
Y no te obligo a nada que no quieras.
Las fuerzas me fallan, mis piernas no responden;
Te conocen, pero no llegan a ti.
Y no te obligo a nada que no quieras.
Las fuerzas me fallan, mis piernas no responden;
Te conocen, pero no llegan a ti.
The Rescue
From the main square of any place,
I write you a letter so you know
What you already knew, even if you didn't say it.
I hope it reaches your hands and you don't return it.
That you pay the ransom indicated below.
I also can't explain why I didn't come to you earlier.
But no one can save me, no one knows what you know,
And they wouldn't deliver what my ransom is worth.
There's no money, no castles, no guarantees, no checkbooks,
There's nothing in this world - though it may seem absurd -
Nor on undiscovered planets, what I ask of you here.
And I don't force you to anything you don't want.
My strength is failing, my legs don't respond;
They know you, but they don't reach you.
That's why I decided on a defense mechanism.
And as my soul is trapped, with enough calmness,
To be stronger, and face the truth as soon as possible,
Without hesitating for a second, I assume, only you can pay the ransom.
Give me back the love you took from me,
Or give it to them, it's the same to the undersigned;
Because there's nothing in this world - though it may seem absurd -
Nor on undiscovered planets, what I ask of you here.
And I don't force you to anything you don't want.
My strength is failing, my legs don't respond;
They know you, but they don't reach you.
And I don't force you to anything you don't want.
My strength is failing, my legs don't respond;
They know you, but they don't reach you.
