Paroles et traduction Peter Manjarrés, Sergio Luis & Emiliano Zuleta - El Llanto De Un Rey

El Llanto De Un Rey

Si tú cantaras esos himnos de mi vida
Si tú pudieras enamorarte de mi canto triste
No pensarías marchar, no apagarías mi luz
Ni buscarías refugio en las noches, mis noches sin fin.

Si tú cantaras esos versos tan bonitos
Si engrandecieras ese trono que yo quise darte
No desearías romper mi pobre alma y seguir
Tantos alardes de ser tan queridos ya los olvidé.

Soy rey y mis escudos te dí
Como en Jerusalén brilló la estrella de David
Y unté tu nombre en mi piel.

Soy rey de mis castillos sin fe
Quién mató la ilusión, yo sé que te alejas quizás
Más nunca vas a volver, más nunca vas a volver,
Más nunca vas a volver.

Yo inventé un pedestal,
Yo inventé un corazón que te quisiera
La princesa se va que fue lo que hice yo
Porqué me dejas.

Pobre del rey,
Ya no hay llanto que cure su pena(Bis).

Si tú cantaras a mi cielo mis plegarias
Si tú quisieras devolverte y comenzar de nuevo
No tendría pa' que explicar vivir tan solo sin ti
Y mis historias quedarían perdidas
Volví a sonreir.

Si tú cantaras a la brisa mis canciones
Si enriquecieras este reino con una sonrisa
Ya no podrías olvidar aquel octubre feliz
Cuando llegaste yo estaba esperando mil años por ti.

Soy rey y mis carrozas dejé allá en tu manantial
Bebí sobre tu pecho el caudal, puse mi sombra en tus pies
Soy rey de una ciudad sin color y doncella de papel
No sé, porqué murió tanto amor, y ahora me toca perder,
Y ahora me toca perder, y ahora me toca perder.

Yo inventé un pedestal...

Pobre del rey,
Ya no hay llanto que cure su pena(Bis).

The Tears of a King

If you were to sing those anthems of my life
If you could fall in love with my woeful song
You wouldn't think of leaving, you wouldn't extinguish my light
Nor would you seek refuge in the nights, my endless nights.

If you were to sing those beautiful verses
If you were to magnify that throne that I wanted to give you
You wouldn't wish to break my poor soul and move on
I have long forgotten all those boasts of being so beloved.

I am a king and I gave you my shields
Like the star of David that shone in Jerusalem
And I anointed your name on my skin.

I am the king of my faithless castles
Who killed the illusion, I know that you may leave
But you shall never return, you shall never return,
You shall never return.

I invented a pedestal,
I invented a heart that would love you
The princess leaves because of what I did
Why do you leave me?

Pity the king,
There are no more tears to heal his pain(Twice).

If you were to sing my prayers to my heavens
If you were willing to turn back and begin anew
I wouldn't have to explain living so alone without you
And my stories would be lost
I smiled again.

If you were to sing my songs to the breeze
If you were to enrich this kingdom with a smile
You could no longer forget that happy October
When you arrived, I had been waiting a thousand years for you.

I am a king and I left my carriages there in your spring
I drank from your breast the stream, I placed my shadow at your feet
I am the king of a city without color and a paper maiden
I don't know why so much love died, and now it's my turn to lose,
And now it's my turn to lose, and now it's my turn to lose.

I invented a pedestal...

Pity the king,
There are no more tears to heal his pain(Twice).
