La Tortura (Alternate Version)

Oh, my dearAy, payita mía
Save the poetryGuárdate la poesía
Keep your joy for yourselfGuárdate la alegría pa'ti

I don't ask that every day be sunnyNo pido que todos los días sean de sol
I don't ask that every Friday be a party.No pido que todos los viernes sean de fiesta
Nor do I ask you to come back begging for forgivenessTampoco te pido que vuelvas rogando perdón
If you cry with dry eyesSi lloras con los ojos secos
And speaking of herY hablando de ella

Oh, love, it hurts so much, it hurts so muchAy, amor, me duele tanto, me duele tanto
That you left without saying whereQue te fueras sin decir a donde
Oh, love, it was torture to lose youAy, amor, fué una tortura perderte

I know that I have not been a saintYo sé que no he sido un santo
but I can fix it, lovePero lo puedo arreglar, amor
You say you love like no otherYou say you love like no other
But you can't live on bread aloneBut you can't live of bread alone
Only from mistakes you learnSólo de errores se aprende
And today I know that my heart is yoursY hoy sé que tuyo es mi corazón
Don't ever try, don't even botherDon't ever try, don't even bother
I won't take it, I don't want itI won't take it, I don't want it
I don't buy it so longI don't buy it so long

I can't ask winter to forgive a rose bushNo puedo pedir que el invierno perdone a un rosal
I can't ask the elms to deliver pearsNo puedo pedir a los olmos que entreguen peras
I can't ask a mere mortal for eternity.No puedo pedirle lo eterno a un simple mortal
And go around throwing thousands of pearls to pigsY andar arrojando a los cerdos miles de perlas

Oh, love, it hurts so much, it hurts so muchAy, amor, me duele tanto, me duele tanto
Don't believe in my promises anymoreQue no creas más en mis promesas
Oh, love, it's torture to lose youAy, amor, es una tortura perderte

I know that I have not been a saintYo sé que no he sido un santo
but I can fix it, lovePero lo puedo arreglar, amor

But you can't live on bread aloneBut you can't live of bread alone
Only from mistakes you learnSólo de errores se aprende

Don't get off, don't get offNo te bajes, no te bajes
Hey, black girl, look, don't give upOye, negrita, mira, no te rajes
From Monday to Friday you have my loveDe lunes a viernes tienes mi amor
Leave Saturday to me, it's betterDéjame el sábado a mi que es mejor
Hey, my black girl, don't punish me anymoreOye, mi negra, no me castigues más
Because out there without you I have no peacePorque allá afuera sin ti no tengo paz
I'm just a very sorry manYo solo soy un hombre muy arrepentido
I am like the bird that returns to its nestSoy como el ave que vuelve a su nido

I know that I have not been a saintYo sé que no he sido un santo
And I'm not made of cardboardY es que no estoy hecho de cartón
