Lyrics and translation Lila Downs - Tu Cárcel

Tu Cárcel

Uh-ja-jay
Te vas porque quieres

Te vas amor
Si así lo quieres, ¿qué le voy a hacer?
Tu vanidad no te deja entender
Que en la pobreza se sabe querer

Y quiero llorar
Y me destroza que pienses así
Y más ahora, me quedé sin ti
Me duele lo que tú vas a sufrir

Pero recuerda
Nadie es perfecto y tú lo verás
Tal vez, mil cosas mejores tendrás
Pero un cariño sincero, jamás

Vete olvidando
De eso que hoy dejas y que cambiarás
Por la aventura que tú ya verás
Será tu cárcel y nunca saldrás

Y quiero llorar
Y me destroza que pienses así
Y más ahora, me quedé sin ti
Me duele lo que tú vas a sufrir

Pero recuerda
Nadie es perfecto y tú lo verás
Tal vez, mil cosas mejores tendrás
Pero un cariño sincero, jamás

Vete olvidando
De eso que hoy dejas y que cambiarás
Por la aventura que tú ya verás
Será tu cárcel y nunca saldrás

Pero recuerda

Your Prison

Uh-ja-jay
You're leaving because you want to

You're leaving, my love
If that's what you want to do, what can I say?
Your vanity won't let you see
That love can be found in poverty

And I want to cry
And I feel destroyed that you think this way
And now, I'm without you
I'm hurting for what you're going to go through

But remember,
No one is perfect, and you'll see
Maybe you'll have a thousand better things
But you'll never find a love as sincere

Forget everything
That you're leaving behind, that you will change
For the adventure that you'll see
It will be your prison, and you'll never escape

And I want to cry
And I feel destroyed that you think this way
And now, I'm without you
I'm hurting for what you're going to go through

But remember,
No one is perfect, and you'll see
Maybe you'll have a thousand better things
But you'll never find a love as sincere

Forget everything
That you're leaving behind, that you will change
For the adventure that you'll see
It will be your prison, and you'll never escape

But remember,
