En Carne Propia

In My Own Flesh

En Carne Propia

Tell whoever asks you about my lifeDile a quien te pregunte por mi vida
That you have left so many absences in my loveQue has dejado en mi amor tantas ausencias
That I am left wandering in oblivionQue me quedo vagando en el olvido
Like the fleeting echo of your promisesComo el eco fugaz de tus promesas

Tell him that although I wanted to love you so muchDile que aunque yo quise amarte tanto
I have not been able to find my dreams in youNo he podido encontrar en ti mis sueños
I think I was just a whim for youCreo que fui para ti solo un capricho
And today I'm not even in your memoryY hoy no estoy ni siquiera en tus recuerdo

think nowPiensa ahora
And remember that I also existY recuerda que yo también existo
And that hidden in my soul is a Jesus ChristY que oculto en mi alma un Jesucristo
That his wounds bleed for your loveQue sangro sus heridas por tu amor

tell the worldDile al mundo
that you had this life in your handsQue tuviste en tus manos esta vida
I keep very nice things for youQue guardo para ti cosas muy lindas
And neither that nor anything helped youY ni eso ni nada te sirvió

And singing and singing and singing I goY cantando y cantando y cantando voy
Proclaiming my loneliness in my versesPregonando en mis versos mi soledad
And singing and singing and singing I will goY cantando y cantando y cantando iré
Walking paths to forgetRecorriendo caminos para olvidar

And if once a woman I gave you my loveY si una vez mujer a ti te di mi amor
I received only disappointment in returnRecibí solo a cambio desilusión
And if once a woman I gave you all my loveY si una vez mujer todo mi amor te di
I've lost my luck and lost everythingHe perdido mi suerte y todo perdí

And singing and singing and singing I goY cantando y cantando y cantando voy
Proclaiming my loneliness in my versesPregonando en mis versos mi soledad
And singing and singing and singing I will goY cantando y cantando y cantando iré
Walking paths to forgetRecorriendo caminos para olvidar

Tell who I asked about my pastDile a quien me pregunté mi pasado
May it fill your paths with tendernessQue llene tus caminos de ternura
that I invented springs in summerQue inventé primaveras en verano
To see you happy under the MoonPara verte feliz bajo la Luna

Tell whoever asks you about my luckDile a quien te pregunte por mi suerte
That you are not guilty of my cryingQue no eres culpable de mi llanto
That your mistake was never not loving meQue tu error no fue nunca no quererme
That my mistake was having loved you so muchQue mi error fue el haberte amado tanto

Today I rememberHoy recuerdo
A moment in the history of your lifeUn instante en la historia de tu vida
That you wanted another love to love foreverQue quisiste otro amor amar por siempre
And wrote that goodbye with your tearsY escribió con tu llanto aquel adiós

Now I understandAhora entiendo
You tried to erase that with meTu intentaste borrar eso conmigo
You couldn't forget and you leftNo pudiste olvidar y te marchaste
And I suffered your pain firsthandY sufrí en carne propia tu dolor

And singing and singing and singing I goY cantando y cantando y cantando voy
Proclaiming my loneliness in my versesPregonando en mis versos mi soledad
And singing and singing and singing I will goY cantando y cantando y cantando iré
Walking paths to forgetRecorriendo caminos para olvidar

And if once a woman I gave you my loveY si una vez mujer a ti te di mi amor
I received only disappointment in returnRecibí solo a cambio desilusión
And if once a woman I gave you all my loveY si una vez mujer todo mi amor te di
I've lost my luck and lost everythingHe perdido mi suerte y todo perdí

And singing and singing and singing I goY cantando y cantando y cantando voy
Proclaiming my loneliness in my versesPregonando en mis versos mi soledad
And singing and singing and singing I will goY cantando y cantando y cantando iré
Walking paths to forgetRecorriendo caminos para olvidar
