They said I was a vagabondQue soy un vagabundo dijeron
So you would leave mePa' que me dejaras
He can't offer you anythingEl no puede ofrecerte nada
He has nothingEl no tiene nada

You heeded those wordsHiciste caso a esas palabras
His thorns were strongerFueron más fuertes sus espinas
I could understand your silencePude comprender tu silencio
I knew you loved meSabía que tú me querías

And it was youY fuiste tu
The one that you threw into the sea without caringLa que sin importarte me tiraste al mar
And you never asked if I knew how to swimY jamás preguntaste si sabía nadar
And only by shipwrecking could I continueY solo naufragando pude continuar
Calling for a lifeguard to come and look forPidiendo un salvavida que venga a buscar
To a man who dies without having a reasonA un hombre que se muere sin tener razón
That his only sin was giving loveQue su único pecado fue brindar amor
That his only treasure was his heartQue su único tesoro fue su corazón

I never had fortune, only my nobilityNunca tuve fortuna solo mi nobleza
I was never lucky enough to have richesNunca tuve la suerte de tener riquezas
Only my virtues that made me strongSolo mis virtudes que me hicieron fuerte
Only that great affection for peopleSolo ese cariño grande hacía la gente

And it was youY fuiste tu
The one that you threw into the sea without caringLa que sin importarte me tiraste al mar
And you never asked if I knew how to swimY jamás preguntaste si sabía nadar
And only by shipwrecking could I continueY solo naufragando pude continuar
Calling for a lifeguard to come and look forPidiendo un salvavida que venga a buscar
A man who dies without having a reasonAun hombre que se muere sin tener razón
That his only sin was giving loveQue su único pecado fue brindar amor
That his only treasure was his heartQue su único tesoro fue su corazón
A big heartUn gran corazón
