El Vino Y El Destino

The Wine and The Destiny

El Vino Y El Destino

I'd like to drink poisonQuisiera tomar veneno
Says the old songDice la vieja canción
In a glass of wineEn una copa de vino
Defeat destinyVencer el destino

But I prefer winePero yo prefiero el vino
Which is an old potionQue es una vieja poción
That makes us all classyQue a todos nos vuelve finos
And teaches us to singY nos enseña a cantar

Now that I sing about wineAhora que canto del vino
How can I not mentionComo no voy a nombrar
My land and its pathsA mi tierra y sus caminos
I won't forget themYo no los voy a olvidar

Close stayed very farCerca se quedo muy lejos
Far is closeLejos lo cerca
I came because I wantedYo me vine porque quise
Now I'm going backAhora me vuelvo

And in between are the watersY entremedio están las aguas
That I will cross againQue otra vez voy a cruzar
Against the wind and the tideContra el viento y la marea
Of this pale cityDe esta pálida ciudad
That doesn't let you go for a momentQue no te deja ni un rato
That doesn't want to let you goQue no te quiere soltar

I came because I wantedYo me vine porque quise
Now I'm coming back!Ahora ya vuelvo!
