Cartitas de Amor El Barrio (English Translation) Lyrics

Life has things
that make my truths
turn into lies
what things a deception has
that turn white into black
and treats you like a stranger

Love letters
that have arrived to
your heart
that have filled you
with new hope
and have filled me
with anger and pain
signed with an I love you
each line speaks
of hope
and the sparkle in your eyes
alone gives you away
hanging in the air
things that kill me

I don’t suffer from jealousy
I suffer from lovesickness
I don’t ask Saint Anthony
I have no bad intentions
I don’t wish for the devil
when new hopes blossom
to take charge of punishment
when I lose, I am a man
a man like any other
who with his loneliness feels that he breaks
breaks into a million pieces
and pieces that give their name
to a puzzle that brings you the war
war of unrequited love
I don’t suffer from jealousy
I suffer from lovesickness

She looks out the window
full of new hopes
as it shows on her face
a happy spring
I’m not free from sin
I don’t cast the first stone
and it could have happened to
the biggest Don Juan on Earth
look where I’ve been hit
abused by your war
and I, like a good vassal
who feels he belongs to your flag

Love letters
that have arrived to
your heart
that have filled you
with new hope
and have filled me
with anger and pain
signing an I love you
each line speaks
of hope and
the sparkle in your eyes
alone gives you away
hanging in the air
things that kill me

I am not a saint on Earth
but neither a man of sorrows
I am not Muhammad who goes to the mountain
nor much less an ace of hearts
I am not the end of Romeo and Juliet
I am not the oblivion that kills hopes
I am another fool who has believed
that without your kisses, I was no longer a poor man…

What starts well ends badly
I believe there are loves that run on batteries
there is no defeat greater than victory
than a retreat and a clear conscience
put on the face you wear on Sundays
say goodnight to the one who sells the new day
be a good example of a person
who has lived with love, heartbreak, and hypocrisy
I am not a saint on Earth…
