Lyrics and translation Enrique Morente - Sembre una Esperanza

Sembre una Esperanza

Yo pensaba haber cogido
La naranja y el azahar
Con hacer leña del tronco
Con hacer leña del tronco
Me tuve que conformar

Corazón mío no llores
Ni te sientas afligido
Que lo que ha sido hoy
No es como si lo hubiera sido
Corazón mío no llores
Ni te sientas afligido

Suspiros del corazón
Salen de mi pecho ardiendo
Y se van a descansar
Y se van a descansar
Donde, donde los amores tengo

Yo sembré una esperanza y salió
Un cariño floreció
Un desengaño
Y cogí un olvido

Yo sembré una esperanza
Y salió un olvido

Always A Hope

I thought I had picked
The orange and the orange blossom
By making firewood from the trunk
By making firewood from the trunk
I had to settle

My heart, don't cry
And don't feel distressed
Because what was today
Is not the same as if it had been
My heart, don't cry
And don't feel distressed

Sighs of the heart
Leave my burning chest
And they go to rest
And they go to rest
Where, where I have loves

I sowed a hope and it sprouted
A love blossomed
A disappointment
And I caught an oblivion

I sowed a hope
And an oblivion sprouted
