El Rinconcito

The Little Corner

El Rinconcito

Sometimes I wish to beA veces yo quisiera ser
Like that birdComo aquella ave
That takes flightQue alza su vuelo
To a distant placeA un lugar lejano

Sometimes I wish to escapeA veces yo quisiera huir
From the problemsDe los problemas
Because I don't thinkPorque no creo
I can bear themPoder soportarlos

There are days I wish to haveHay días que quisiera tener
A little corner to take refugeUn rinconcito donde refugiarme
Where pain couldn't reach meDonde el dolor no pudiera alcanzarme
Where sadness couldn't comeDonde no pueda llegar la tristeza

There are days I wish to haveHay días que quisiera tener
A heart as hard as a diamondUn corazón duro como un diamante
That doesn't sympathize with anyoneQue no se condoliera de nadie
Armored with indifferenceAcorazado con la indiferencia

But He has given me a big heartPero él me ha dado un corazón grande
That makes me love even if I'm not lovedQue me hace querer aunque no me quieran
My God has given me a big heartMi Dios me ha dado un corazón grande
That makes me love even if I don't want toQue me hace querer aunque no quiera

I have fought, you know, LordYo he batallado lo sabes señor
I have also tried to be a faithful servantTambién he intentado ser un siervo fiel
I have fought hard to have your loveBastante he luchado por tener su amor
But the problems clouded my faithPero los problemas nublaron mi fe

If you leave me, what will I do?Si te vas de mí yo que voy hacer
I have become accustomed to your wordA tu palabra ya me acostumbré
Your advice is a light for my pathTus concejos son, luz para mis pies
And with your praise, my king, I rejoiceY con tu alabanza me gozo mi rey
