El Alfarero

The Potter

El Alfarero

I went through great hardships,Fatigas grandes pasé,
With all the love I had for youCon lo que yo te he querío
I have to hate you now.Te tengo que aborrecer.

Like a cannon burstingComo revienta un cañón
From being hit repeatedly,A fuerzas de darle golpes,
That's how I'm going to burst.Así voy a reventar yo.

The day I catch youEl día que yo te coja
I'm going to give you a piece of my mind,Te voy a cantar las cuarenta,
You have a very bad tongueTienes muy mala lengua
And everything you say is made up.Y tó lo que dices te lo inventas.

I want you to shape meQuiero que me formes
Like the potter,Como el alfarero,
Make me as you wish,Hazme como quieras,
Shape your desiresConforma tus deseos
And design me, my love,Y diséñame, mi amor,
According to your model;A tu modelo;
You are the great artistTú eres la gran artista
And I am priceless clay.Y yo barro sin precio.

There are many flaws,Hay muchos defectos,
Breaks inside,Roturas por dentro,
Causing sadness and lamentQue causan en mi vida
In my life;Tristezas y lamentos;
My body is uselessEs mi cuerpo inservible
And there is nothing good left,Y ya no hay nada bueno,
I need your handNecesito tu mano
To shape me, I beg you.Que forme, te lo ruego.

There's nothing I like moreNo hay que me guste más
Than walking along the roadsQue caminar por los caminos
With the pomegranate moon.Con la luna de graná.

That I love you and you don't know it,Que te quiero y tú no lo sabes,
You are to blame for all my troubles.La culpa tienes de todos mis males.
