Paroles et traduction Ramses Shaffy - Solo

Solo

Soy fugitivo de mi mismo
Mi otro yo me construyo un abismo...
Entre el ayer y el hoy

Y mucha culpa tienes en esto
Y oigase bien que no es un pretexto
Pero es que como te extraño

Cinco años no son pocos
Y menos para este loco
Que entre mas pasa el tiempo
Mas te ama

Y hoy estoy solo como un niño
En un asilo de ancianos
Solo como un anillo para un
Hombre sin manos
Solo como fidel caminando por
La acera del Wall Street
Solo como Octavio Paz en una
Disco de moda
Solo como se siente sin amantes
La alcoba
Solo como mis padres desde el mismo
Dia que decidi partir
Solo...

Y es tan estupido el amarte
Incluso mas que el recordarte
Pero es que no hay remedio

Y si estoy solo no es porque quiero
Pues lo he intentado pero no puedo
Nunca aprendi a olvidarte

Cinco años no son pocos
Y menos para este loco
Que entre mas pasa el tiempo
Mas te ama

Y hoy estoy solo como un niño
En un asilo de ancianos
Solo como un anillo para un
Hombre sin manos
Solo como fidel caminando por
La acera del Wall Street
Solo como Octavio Paz en una
Disco de moda
Solo como se siente sin amantes
La alcoba
Solo como mis padres desde el mismo
Dia que decidi partir
Solo

Alone (Solo)

I am a fugitive from myself
My other self built me an abyss...
Between the past and present

And you are the one to blame for all of this
And let it be known, that this is not an excuse
But it's as if I miss you so much

Five years is a long time
And more so for this madman
That as time goes on
I love you more

And today I am as alone as a child
In a retirement home
As alone as a ring is to a
Man with no hands
As lonely as Fidel walking along
The sidewalk of Wall Street
As lonely as Octavio Paz in a
Trendy nightclub
As lonely as the bedroom feels without lovers
The bedroom
As alone as my parents have been since the day
I decided to leave
Alone...

And it is so stupid to love you
Even more so than to remember you
But there's no solution

And if I am alone it is not because I want to be
As I have tried, but I cannot
I never learned to forget you

Five years is a long time
And more so for this madman
That as time goes on
I love you more

And today I am as alone as a child
In a retirement home
As alone as a ring is to a
Man with no hands
As lonely as Fidel walking along
The sidewalk of Wall Street
As lonely as Octavio Paz in a
Trendy nightclub
As lonely as the bedroom feels without lovers
The bedroom
As alone as my parents have been since the day
I decided to leave
Alone
