Para Vivir - Luis Eduardo Aute traduction en anglais

Para Vivir

Muchas veces te dije que antes de hacerlo
Había que pensarlo muy bien,
Que a esta unión de nosotros
Le hacia falta carne y deseo también,

Que no bastaba que me entendieras
Y que murieras por mí,
Que no bastaba que en mi fracaso
Yo me refugiara en ti,

Y ahora ya 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 ese tiempo perdido
Que nos deja vencidos sin poder conocer
Eso que llaman amor para vivir.
Para vivir...

To Live

Many times I told you that before doing it
We had to think about it very well,
That this union of ours
Lacked passion and desire too,

That it was not enough that you understood me
And that you died for me,
That it was not enough that in my failure
I took refuge in you,

And now you see what happened
In the end, as the years passed,
The tremendous fatigue that I already cause in you was born,
And although it is painful you have to say it.

For my part, I hoped
That one day time would take care of the end,
If it had not been so
I would have continued playing to make you happy,

And although the tears are bitter, think of the years
That you have to live,
That my pain is no less and the worst
Is that I can no longer feel,

And now to try to conquer
With vain effort that lost time
That leaves us defeated without being able to know
That which they call love to live.
To live...
