Lyrics and translation Reynaldo Armas - El Cambalache

El Cambalache

Tema: El cambalache Autor: Reynaldo Armas álbum: Repasando Distancias
El cambalache que tú y yo hicimos un día,
Que por siempre duraría,
Según juramento fiel,
No lo has cumplido y se está desvaneciendo,
Y yo creo por lo que estoy viendo,
Que se quedó en el papel,
Que nos daríamos con pasión y con fervor,
El más grande y tierno amor, fresquecito del vergel,
Yo lo cumplí, la parte que me toco,
Mas tu no sé que paso, te me saliste del riel.
Mi armo yo te di, jugaste con él,
Lo tiraste al vertedero de cochambre y oropel,
Corazón, amor yo te di,
Gotitas de miel,
Y tu tan solo me diste, gárgaras sabor a hiel. (BIS)

El cambalache que un buen día nos unió,
Que de dicha nos colmó, a punto esta de morir,
Tan generosa la tarde de nuestro encuentro,
Te me fuiste tan adentro, no me pude resistir,
En el amor, hay que ser muy cuidadoso,
Comedido y cauteloso, y saberlo compartir,
Es un jardín que hay regar diariamente,
Cuidarlo constantemente y no dejarlo sucumbir.
Amor por amor, razón de existir,
Todos los que amor profesan, podrán, amor recibir,
Corazón, amar es cantar, amar es reír,
Máxima expresión del alma, cierto amar es vivir. (BIS)

The Barter

Theme: The barter Author: Reynaldo Armas album: Replaying Distances
The barter that you and I made one day,
That would last forever,
According to faithful oath,
You haven't kept it and it's fading away,
And I believe from what I'm seeing,
That it stayed on paper,
That we would give ourselves with passion and with fervor,
The greatest and tenderest love, fresh from the orchard,
I fulfilled it, the part that touched me,
But you, I don't know what happened, you left the rails.
My soul I gave you, you played with it,
You threw it into the garbage dump of grease and tinsel,
Heart, love I gave you,
Drops of honey,
And you only gave me, gargles that taste like bile. (BIS)

The barter that one fine day united us,
That filled us with joy, is about to die,
So generous was the afternoon of our meeting,
You went so deep into me, I couldn't resist,
In love, you must be very careful,
Considerate and cautious, and know how to share it,
It is a garden that must be watered daily,
To constantly take care of it and not let it succumb.
Love for love, reason for being,
All those who profess love will be able to receive love,
Heart, to love is to sing, to love is to laugh,
Maximum expression of the soul, true to love is to live. (BIS)
