A Strange World

Lila Downs

Un Mundo Raro

Cuando te hablen de amor y de ilusiones
Y te ofrezcan un Sol y un cielo entero
Si te acuerdas de mí, no me menciones
Porque vas a sentir amor del bueno

Y si quieren saber de tu pasado
Es preciso decir una mentira
Di que vienes de allá de un mundo raro (de un mundo raro)
Que no sabes llorar (que no sabes llorar)
Que no entiendes de amor, que no entiendes de amor
Y que nunca has amado

Porque yo a dónde voy (porque yo a dónde voy)
Hablaré de tu amor
Como un sueño dorado
Y olvidando el rencor (y olvidando el rencor)
No diré que tu adiós
Me volvió desgraciada (me volvió desgraciado)

Y si quieren saber (y si quieren saber) de mi pasado
Es preciso decir otra mentira
Les diré que llegué de un mundo raro (de un mundo raro)
Que no sé del dolor (que no sé de dolor)
Que triunfé en el amor (y que triunfe el amor)
Y que nunca (y que nunca) he llorado

A Strange World

When they talk about love and fantasies to you
And they offer you the Sun and all of heaven
If you remember me, don't mention me
Because you're going to feel real love

And if they want to know about your past
You'll have to tell a lie
Say you come from a strange world (from a strange world)
That you don't know how to cry (you don't know how to cry)
That you don't understand love, that you don't understand love
And you have never loved

Because I am leaving (because I am leaving)
I'll speak of your love
Like a golden dream
And forgetting the grudge (and forgetting the grudge)
I will not say goodbye
It made me miserable (it made me miserable)

And if they want to know (and if they want to know) about my past
I'll have to tell a lie
I'll say I've come from a strange world (from a strange world)
That I don't know of pain (I don't know of pain)
That I triumphed in love (and that I triumphed in love)
And that I never (and that I never) have cried
