Текст и перевод песни Bunbury - El rescate

El rescate

Desde la plaza de armas de un lugar cualquiera,
Te escribo una carta para que tú sepas
Lo que ya sabías, aunque no lo dijeras.
Espero que llegue a tus manos y, que no la devuelvas.
Que pagues el rescate que abajo te indico.
Yo tampoco me explico, por qué no acudí antes a ti.
Pero nadie puede salvarme, nadie sabe lo que sabes,
Y tampoco entregarían lo que vale mi rescate.
No hay dinero, ni castillos, ni avales, ni talonarios,
No hay en este mundo, aunque parezca absurdo,
Ni en planetas por descubrir, lo que aquí te pido.
Y no te obligo a nada que no quieras.
Las fuerzas me fallan, mis piernas no responden;
Te conocen, pero no llegan a ti.
Decidí por eso mismo, un mecanismo de defensa.
Y presa como está mi alma, con la calma suficiente,
Ser más fuerte, y enfrentarme cuanto antes a la verdad,
Sin dudar un segundo, lo asumo, sólo tú puedes pagar el rescate.
Devuélveme el amor que me arrebataste,
O entrégaselo, lo mismo me da, al abajo firmante;
Pues no hay en este mundo, aunque parezca absurdo,
Ni en planetas por descubrir, lo que aquí te pido.
Y no te obligo a nada que no quieras.
Las fuerzas me fallan, mis piernas no responden;
Te conocen, pero no llegan a ti.
Y no te obligo a nada que no quieras.
Las fuerzas me fallan, mis piernas no responden;
Te conocen, pero no llegan a ti.

The Rescue

From the town square of any place,
I'm writing you a letter so that you know
What you already know, even if you don't say it.
I hope it reaches your hands and that you don't return it.
That you pay the ransom that I indicate below.
I don't understand either why I didn't come to you sooner.
But no one can save me, no one knows what you know,
And they wouldn't deliver what my ransom is worth.
There is no money, no castles, no guarantees, no checkbooks,
There is not in this world, absurd as it may seem,
Not on planets yet to be discovered, what I ask of you here.
And I don't force you to anything you don't want.
My strength is failing, my legs won't respond;
They know you, but they can't reach you.
That's why I decided on a defense mechanism.
And with my soul imprisoned, with enough calm,
To be stronger, and to face the truth sooner,
Without hesitating for a second, I assume it, only you can pay the ransom.
Return the love you took from me,
Or give it to the undersigned, it's all the same to me;
For there is not in this world, absurd as it may seem,
Not on planets yet to be discovered, what I ask of you here.
And I don't force you to anything you don't want.
My strength is failing, my legs won't respond;
They know you, but they can't reach you.
And I don't force you to anything you don't want.
My strength is failing, my legs won't respond;
They know you, but they can't reach you.
