Paroles et traduction Ernesto Mendoza - La Tengo

La Tengo

Eh, tantos hombres solitarios
Intentando atrapar un amor,
Intentando encontrar la pareja que Dios
Pa' su vida escogió y no la ven

Muchas veces he encontrado mujeres
Envueltas en la soledad
Llorando una traición,
Si su vida entrego
Al hombre equivocado tal vez

Y yo la tengo
Conmigo entre mis brazos
Solo mía, solamente mía
Y yo la tengo
Porque Dios tuvo compasión de mí

Y yo la tengo
No la cambio por ninguna en la vida
Ni por la más linda
Y estoy contento
Y hay tantos hombres llenos de sufrir

(Saben por qué?)

Creyeron haber encontrado el ser que los acompañaría hasta viejitos
Pero después de un corto tiempo hallaron sus defectos quedaron solitos
De diez detalles, cinco buenos pero insoportables eran los otros cinco

Y yo la tengo
Conmigo entre mis brazos
Mi mujer es tan bella
Y no es perfecta
Pero tampoco me hace sufrir
(Me ama y la amo)

Eh, he visto derrumbar ilusiones
Después de tantos años de amor
Si no fue que falló
Que todo lo acabó
Se cansó ella y buscó otro querer

Muchos tienen que resignarse
Y toleran desprecio y dolor
Quiere uno de los dos
Y otro por compasión
No se aleja pero no es feliz

Y yo la tengo
Conmigo entre mis brazos
Solo mía, solamente mía
Y yo la tengo
Porque Dios tuvo compasión de mí

Y yo la tengo
No la cambio por ninguna en la vida
Ni por la más linda
Y estoy contento
Y tantos hombres sufriendo por ahí
(Y como lo ver)

Creyeron haber encontrado el ser que los acompañaría hasta viejitos
Pero después de un corto tiempo hallaron sus defectos quedaron solitos
De diez detalles cinco buenos pero insoportables eran los otros cinco

Y yo la tengo
Conmigo entre mis brazos
Solo mía solamente mía
Y yo la tengo
Porque Dios tuvo compasión de mí

Y yo la tengo
Conmigo entre mis brazos
Mi mujer es tan bella
Y no es perfecta
Pero tampoco me hace sufrir

I've Found Her

Hey, so many lonely men
Trying to catch a love,
Trying to find the partner that God
For his life chose and they don't see her

Many times I've found women
Wrapped up in solitude
Crying over a betrayal,
If his life he gave
To the wrong man perhaps

And I've found her
With me in my arms
Only mine, only mine
And I've found her
Because God had compassion on me

And I've found her
I wouldn't trade her for anyone in life
Not for the most beautiful
And I'm happy
And there are so many men full of suffering

(Do you know why?)

They thought they had found the being that would accompany them until they were old
But after a short time they found their flaws they were left lonely
Out of ten details, five good but unbearable were the other five

And I've found her
With me in my arms
My wife is so beautiful
And she's not perfect
But neither does she make me suffer
(She loves me and I love her)

Hey, I've seen illusions collapse
After so many years of love
If it wasn't that he failed
That she ended everything
She got tired and looked for another love

Many have to resign themselves
And tolerate contempt and pain
One of the two wants to
And another out of compassion
Doesn't go away but isn't happy

And I've found her
With me in my arms
Only mine, only mine
And I've found her
Because God had compassion on me

And I've found her
I wouldn't trade her for anyone in life
Not for the most beautiful
And I'm happy
And so many men suffering out there
(And how do you see it)

They thought they had found the being that would accompany them until they were old
But after a short time they found their flaws they were left lonely
Out of ten details five good but unbearable were the other five

And I've found her
With me in my arms
Only mine only mine
And I've found her
Because God had compassion on me

And I've found her
With me in my arms
My wife is so beautiful
And she's not perfect
But neither does she make me suffer
