Текст и перевод песни Meridian Brothers - Desesperanza

Desesperanza

Mírame, dónde está la esperanza?
Dónde voy a vivir?

Mírame, ya no tengo la calma
Ya me caí de la cama

Ay, soy un niño asustado

Déjame ya la salida
No quiero resucitar más

Qué? si fui a un baile de fiesta?
Me caí con mi velita

Yo, que por bailar de cabeza
Me tiraron al mar

Mírame, tengo tres mil dolores
Me dieron con cañones
El tiro de soledad

Mírame, me perderé en mi barco
Me comeré el pescado

Mírame, busco tu arrogancia
Perdóname el deseo
Cuando pase el cumbión

Me dediqué a la salsa
Me fui pa' Nueva York

Nadie, me mirará en el barrio
Serán tan desconfiados
Por desafiar el folclor

Ay, me buscarán con rabia
Me lincharán borracho
Rey desde Nueva York

Mírame, me arrodillo a tus zancos
La salsa y la canción

Ay, no me dejes enfermo
Tengo un ojo de vidrio
Y no puedo bailar

Óyeme, príncipe de tambores
Cántame los pregones

(Dios de la salsa habla finalmente)

"Yo te persigo man, yo te bendigo"

Despair

Look at me, where is hope?
Where am I going to live?

Look at me, I no longer have any calm
I've already fallen out of bed

Oh, I'm a scared child

Let me go now
I don't want to be resurrected anymore

What if I go to a party dance?
I'll fall with my candle

Me, who for dancing with my head
I was thrown into the sea

Look at me, I have three thousand pains
They hit me with cannons
The shot of loneliness

Look at me, I'll get lost in my boat
I'll eat the fish

Look at me, I seek your arrogance
Forgive me the desire
When the party's over

I dedicated myself to salsa
I went to New York

No one will look at me in the neighborhood
They will be so distrustful
For challenging folklore

Oh, they'll look for me with rage
They'll lynch me drunk
King from New York

Look at me, I kneel at your stilts
The salsa and the song

Oh, don't leave me sick
I have a glass eye
And I can't dance

Hear me, prince of drums
Sing me the proclamations

(God of salsa finally speaks)

"I'm chasing you, man, I'm blessing you."
