Una Historia Barata

A Cheap Story

Una Historia Barata

I wrote so many songsEscribi tantas canciones
Of love and disappointment, someDe amor y desilucion,unas
Were not bad and othersNo estuvieron mal y otras no
Were not better, in some I made a mistakeFueron mejor,en unas me equivoque
In telling them how I feelAl decirles lo que siento
Because I lacked wordsPues me faltaban palabras
Or singing them with feelingO cantarlas con sentimiento

The story I didn't tell, that'sLa historia que no conte esa es
The one I start nowLa que ahora empiezo
No. It's not my best songNo. No es mi mejor cancion
And it's even out of tuneY hasta esta desafinada
It doesn't say nice thingsNo dice cosas bonitas
It's a cheap storyEs una historia barata
I just started singingSolo me puse a cantar
And telling you your truthsY decirte tus verdades

If you don't have feelingsSi no tienes sentimientos
Maybe it won't tell you anythingTal vez no te diga nada
But my pain is so much that IPero es tanto mi dolor que me
Would like to forget even your nameQuisiera olvidar hasta de como te llamas

And a dog bit my friendY un perro mordio ami amigo
After he gave him shelterDespues que le dio cobijo
And in this cheap story that'sY en esta historia barata eso es lo
What you do to meQue haces conmigo

No, it's not the best songNo,no es mejor cancion
And it's even out of tuneY hasta esta desafinada
Maybe I shouldn't sing whatTal vez no debi cantar lo
Hurts my soulQue me lastima el alma
Because it hurts to rememberPues me duele recordar
Your love in a cheap storyTu amor en una historia barata
