A Ti

To You

A Ti

To you who laughs at everything, and never thinksA ti que de todo te ríes, y que nunca piensas
And who lives waiting for others to fix thingsY que vives esperando que otros, arreglen las cosas
While you enjoy what they achieveMientras tu disfrutas, de lo que ellos consiguen

I bring the truth in my wordYo traigo la verdad en mi palabra
I come to tell you about a child without shelterVengo a decirte de un niño sin abrigo
I come to tell you that there are winters that bite usVengo a decirte que hay inviernos que nos muerden
From the lack of a friendDe la falta de un amigo

I come to tell you that there are lights that hurt usVengo a contarte que hay luces que nos hieren
That there are nights without whiskeys or pleasuresQue existen noches sin whiskys ni placeres
I come to tell you that your sentence is nearVengo a decirte que esta cerca tu condena
Today a mother died of sorrowHoy una madre murió de pena

Let me sing, I am ashamedDéjame cantar tengo vergüenza
Of being human like you and in your presenceDe ser humano como tu y en tu presencia
Discovering myself in your figureDescubrirme a mi mismo en tu figura
How insignificant we are without tendernessQue poca cosa somos sin ternura

To you who can still laugh, I just come to askA ti que aún puedes reír, tan solo vengo a pedirte
A small favor, give me a minuteUn pequeño favor, que me des un minuto
Of your best time to give you mineDe tu tiempo mejor para darte lo mío
In my best songEn mi, mejor canción

I bring the truth in my wordYo traigo la verdad en mi palabra
I come to tell you about a child without shelterVengo a decirte de un niño sin abrigo
I come to tell you that there are winters that bite usVengo a decirte que hay inviernos que nos muerden
From the lack of a friendDe la falta de un amigo

I come to tell you that there are lights that hurt usVengo a contarte que hay luces que nos hieren
That there are nights without whiskeys or pleasuresQue existen noches sin whiskys ni placeres
I come to tell you that your sentence is nearVengo a decirte que esta cerca tu condena
Today a mother died of sorrowHoy una madre murió de pena

Let me sing, I am ashamedDéjame cantar tengo vergüenza
Of being human like you and in your presenceDe ser humano como tu y en tu presencia
Discovering myself in your figureDescubrirme a mi mismo en tu figura
How insignificant we are without tendernessQue poca cosa somos sin ternura
