Dios No Me Deja

God Doesn't Let Me

Dios No Me Deja

I was born one ordinary morningYo nací una mañana cualquiera
Back in my land, carnival dayAllá por mi tierra, día de carnaval
But I already came with the starPero ya yo venía con la estrella
To compose and sing to my painDe componer y cantarle a mi mal

And when I want to falterY cuando quiero flaquear
I feel that God doesn't let meSiento que Dios no me deja
Then I start to singLuego me pongo a cantar
I give relief to my sorrows!¡Le doy alivio a mis penas!

I have suffered a lot in this lifeHe sufrido mucho en esta vida
They would say it's a lie if I didn't singDirían que es mentira si yo no cantara
If pain killed instantlySi la pena matara en seguida
No one would remember this manYa de este hombre nadie recordara

It's a journey for meEs para mí una jornada
High, divine lordAlto, divino señor
That which is born in the soulEso que nace en el alma
Art, respect, and love!¡Arte, respeto y amor!

He knew that if he abandoned meÉl sabía que si me abandonaba
No one would sing like I doNinguno cantara como canto yo
I have known how to fight the battleHe sabido librar la batalla
We must not deny the existence of God!¡No hay que negar la existencia de dios!

He denied me sightÉl la vista me negó
So that I wouldn't seePara que yo no mirara
And in return, he gave meY en recompensa me dio
The beautiful eyes of the soulLos ojos bellos del alma
