Lyrics and translation Chavela Vargas - Un Mondo Raro

Un Mondo Raro

Cuando te hablen de amor
Y de ilusiones
Y te ofrezcan el sol
Y el cielo entero
Si te acuerdas de mí
No me menciones
Porque vas a sentir
Amor del bueno
Y si quieren saber
De tu pasado
Es preciso decir una mentira
Dí que vienes de allá
De un mundo raro
Que no sabes llorar
Que no entiendes de amor
Y que nunca has amado
Porque yo a donde voy
Hablaré de tu amor
Como un sueño dorado
Y olvidando el rencor
No diré que tu adiós
Me volvio desgraciado
Y si quieren saber
De mi pasado
Es preciso decir otra mentira
Les diré que llegué
De un mundo raro
Que no sé del dolor
Que triunfé en el amor
Y que nunca he llorado
Porque yo a donde voy
Hablaré de tu amor
Como un sueño dorado
Y olvidando el rencor
No diré que tu adiós
Me volvio desgraciado
Y si quieren saber
De mi pasado
Es preciso decir otra mentira
Les diré que llegué
De un mundo raro
Que no sé del dolor
Que triunfé en el amor
Y que nunca he llorado

A Rare World

When they talk to you of love
And illusions
And offer you the sun
And the whole sky
If you remember me
Don't mention me
Because you'll feel
True love
And if they want to know
About your past
You must tell a lie
Tell them you come from there
From a rare world
That you don't know how to cry
That you don't understand love
And that you've never loved
Because I, wherever I go
Will speak of your love
Like a golden dream
And forgetting the resentment
I won't say that your goodbye
Has made me unhappy
And if they want to know
About my past
You must tell another lie
I'll tell them that I came
From a rare world
That I don't know what pain is
That I triumphed in love
And that I've never cried
Because I, wherever I go
Will speak of your love
Like a golden dream
And forgetting the resentment
I won't say that your goodbye
Has made me unhappy
And if they want to know
About my past
You must tell another lie
I'll tell them that I came
From a rare world
That I don't know what pain is
That I triumphed in love
And that I've never cried
