La Sota de Copas

The Jack of Cups

La Sota de Copas

Around that bottle over therePor ahí de aquella botella
Where I drank your love.Donde me bebí tu amor.
Someone kept itAlguien se quedó con ella
I don't know why they want itYo no sé porque la quiere
I already took the best of it.Ya la tomé lo mejor.

The world is a barEl mundo es una cantina,
As big as the pain.Tan grande como el dolor.
You gave me cups of kissesMe diste copas de besos
Then you served contemptLuego serviste desprecio
I paid you with betrayal.Yo te pagué con traición.

The cards of the deckLas cartas de la baraja
Have a lot of resemblanceTiene mucho parecido
With some people.Con algunas de las gentes.
You are the jack of cups,Tú eres la sota de copas,
Very pretty barmaid,Muy bonita cantinera,
But the customers leave you.Pero se te ván los clientes.

A path already traveledCamino ya recorrido
Should not be walked again.No debe volverse a andar.
Listen well to what was told to youOye bien lo que te dijo
A tree that grows crookedÁrbol que nace torcido
Will never straighten.No se endereza jamás.

A sky full of cloudsUn cielo lleno de nubes
Does not let the sun through.No deja pasar al sol.
And that love I had for youY ese amor que yo te tuve
With all the pride you haveCon tanto orgullo que tienes
Did not reach your heart.No te llegó al corazón.
