Lyrics and translation Moneda Dura - Para Vivir

Para Vivir

Muchas veces te dije que antes de hacerlo
Había que pensarlo muy bien,
Que a esta unión de nosotros
Le hacía falta carne y deseo también,
Que no bastaba que me entendieras
Y que murieras por mí,
Que no bastaba que en mis fracasos
Yo me refugiara en ti,
Y ahora ves lo que pasó
Al fin nació, al pasar de los años,
El tremendo cansancio que provoco ya en ti,
Y aunque es penoso lo tienes que decir.
Por mi parte esperaba
Que un día el tiempo se hiciera cargo del fin,
Si así no hubiera sido
Yo habría seguido jugando a hacerte feliz,
Y aunque el llanto es amargo piensa en los años
Que tienes para vivir,
Que mi dolor no es menos y lo peor
Es que ya no puedo sentir.
Y ahora tratar de conquistar
Con vano afán este tiempo perdido
Que nos deja vencidos sin poder conocer
Eso que llaman amor,
Para vivir.
Para vivir.

To Live

I told you many times before we started
We needed to think it through,
That our union lacked substance
And there was little desire, and passion too,
That it wasn't enough that you understood me
And would die for me,
That it wasn't enough that in my failures
I could take refuge in you,
And now you see what happened
In the end, there came a day after many years,
The enormous exhaustion that I now cause you,
And although it's painful, you must say it.
For my part, I hoped
That one day time would take care of the end,
If that had not been the case
I would have continued pretending to make you happy,
And although tears are bitter, think of the years
You have to live,
That my pain is no less and the worst
Is that I can no longer feel.
And now try to conquer
In vain this lost time
That leaves us defeated without being able to know
That which they call love,
To live.
To live.
