Lyrics and translation José Alfredo Jiménez - Un Pedazo de Luna




Un Pedazo de Luna
A Piece of the Moon
Un pedazo de luna, solamente tuvimos
A piece of the moon, that's all we had
En la noche de amor, que vivimos y yo
On that night of love, you and I lived through
Cuando más nos quisimos
When we were at our most loving
Un pedazo de luna, como cosa perdida
A piece of the moon, like something lost
En el cielo de un pueblo, de una tierra sin vida
In the sky of a town, of a land without life
Que ese día conocimos
That we discovered that day
No pudimos, entonces, esconder nuestros besos
We couldn't, then, hide our kisses
Ni se pudo tampoco, a pesar del cariño
Nor could we, despite the affection
Imponer nuestro orgullo
Impose our pride
Era un árbol del campo, nuestro único techo
A tree in the countryside was our only roof
Pero ajenos a todos, nos sentíamos los dueños
But oblivious to all, we felt like the masters
De la vida y del mundo
Of life and the world
Hoy, te puedo comprar, un pedazo de mar
Today, I can buy you a piece of the sea
Y una luna completa
And a full moon
Y te pedo jurar que no vuelves a estar
And I can swear to you that you'll never again be
Tan de veras contenta
So truly happy
Un pedazo de luna, solamente tuvimos
A piece of the moon, that's all we had
En la noche de amor que vivimos y yo
On that night of love that you and I lived through
Cuando más nos quisimos
When we were at our most loving
Un pedazo de luna que llenó nuestras vidas
A piece of the moon that filled our lives
De un amor verdadero bajo el cielo del mundo
With a true love under the sky of the world
Que ese día conocimos
That we discovered that day
Un pedazo de luna
A piece of the moon
