La Despedida

The Farewell

La Despedida

She rushes outElla sale apurada
With wet sandalsCon sandalias mojadas
Running for the trainCorriendo el tren

She knows that tomorrowElla sabe que mañana
Is the last dayEs el último día
She'll have with himQue tendrá con él

She won't allow herself to cryNo se permite llorar
She won't allow herself to complainNo se permite ni quejar
She wants to be luckyQuiere tener la suerte
To feel strong or at least pretendDe sentirse fuerte o aparentar

Never in her life has she prayed to anyoneNunca en su vida le rezó a nadie
But she looked up at the skyPero al cielo miró
If there's an angel who can hear meSi hay un ángel que pueda oírme
I ask you, please, take care of him, take care of himPido por favor, cuídenmelo, cuídenmelo

He knew, the next dayÉl sabía, al otro día
That it was time and it hurt to say goodbyeQue era hora y dolía decir adiós
She doesn't want to let him goElla no quiere soltarlo
She's terrified of leaving him without loveLe da pánico dejarlo sin amor

She won't allow herself to cryNo se permite llorar
She won't allow herself to complainNo se permite ni quejar
She wants to be luckyQuiere tener la suerte
To feel strong or at least pretendDe sentirse fuerte o aparentar

Never in her life has she prayed to anyoneNunca en su vida le rezó a nadie
But she looked up at the skyPero al cielo miró
If there's an angel who can hear meSi hay un ángel que pueda oírme
I ask you, please, take care of him, take care of himPido por favor, cuídenmelo, cuídenmelo

Letting go, let go, it scratches the soulSoltar, Sol, soltar, rasguña el alma
And God knows why it isY Dios sabrá porqué será
What irony, what irony, what irony this lifeQué ironía, qué ironía, qué ironía esta vida
That brings us together only to tear us apartQue nos junta para volvernos a separar

Never in her life has she prayed to anyoneNunca en su vida le rezó a nadie
But she looked up at the skyPero al cielo miró
If there's an angel who can hear meSi hay un ángel que pueda oírme
I ask you, please, take care of him, take care of himPido por favor, cuídenmelo, cuídenmelo
