La Fin

The End

La Fin

Three years and a day ago I arrived inHace tres años y un día llegaba a
Northern was just one more among the strangersNorteño era solo uno mas entre los extraños
Today you would say that I have aged at least ten yearsHoy dirías que eh envejecido al menos diez años
I dedicated myself for a while to singMe dedique por un tiempo a cantar
In the port songs that I had learnedEn el puerto canciones que había aprendido
Right here a few spoke of heavenAquí mismo unas pocas hablaban del cielo
And many of the abyss, I met her one morningY muchas del abismo, la conocí una mañana
Behind a guitar and from her lips sprangTras una guitarra y broto de sus labios
That tune as if it were a curseAquella tonada como si fuera una maldición
I couldn't forget it, and I could go back and couldYa no pude olvidarla, y podría volver y podría
Say that things are going well up there in the northDecir que las cosas van bien allá por norteña
And omit that there a strange womanY omitir que allí una extraña mujer me
Taught me that there is no good that doesn't come from badEnseño que no hay bien que por mal no venga
And even though I asked she always remained silent or saidY aunque yo preguntaba ella siempre callaba o decía
Don't want to know about my life don't make meNo quieras saber de mi vida no me hagas
Talk that if I drink it's to forget.Hablar que si bebo es para olvidar.

Since that day that melody clingsDesde ese día aquella melodía se aferra
To my soul tearing it out is impossibleA mi alma arrancarla resulta imposible
As it resonates with the perfection of a terrible memoryPues resuena con la per sección de un recuerdo
And today when I try to write newTerrible y hoy cuando intento escribir nuevos
Verses I only find myself facingVersos de frente me encuentro tan solo con
Disillusions and now I know for sure that I won'tDesilusiones y ahora se con certeza que no
Write more songsEscribiré más canciones
And I could go back and could say thatY podría volver y podría decir que las
Things are going well up there in the north that thereCosas van bien allá por norteña que allí
And omit that there a strange womanY omitir que allí una extraña mujer me
Taught me that there is no good that doesn't come from badEnseño que no hay bien que por mal no venga
And even though I asked she always remained silent or saidY aunque yo preguntaba ella siempre callaba o decía
Don't want to know about my life don't make meNo quieras saber de mi vida no me hagas
Talk that if I drink it's to forget.Hablar que si bebo es para olvidar.
And even though I asked she always remained silent or saidY aunque yo preguntaba ella siempre callaba o decía
Don't want to know about my life don't make meNo quieras saber de mi vida no me hagas
Talk that if I live it's to forget.Hablar que si vivo es para olvidar.
