Insomnio de Amor El Barrio (English Translation) Lyrics

*Chorus:
I feel cousin,
that I’m loving you
but when I wake up
and I don’t see you by my side
that’s when I get the feeling
of falling into thought
of desire, of desire…(x2)

During the course,
and in the calm of the night.
When the cricket sings
its monotonous song,
when the moon
is the lover’s bride,
when I’m still distant,
you wanted to talk to me about love.
You didn’t respect it
if my body was at rest.
You didn’t respect it
if I was dreaming or not
you sat down
on the side of my bed
I usually pull the sheet
until it woke me up
What do you want from me, love
what do you want from me, love?
Love!

Why do you hit me
and penetrate with impunity
and mistreat my mind
and eclipse my illusion.
Do you think
that I feel different
from the rest of the people
because you think I have a gift?
You have made your forgetfulness
be the greatest of my punishments.
Have mercy on my love.

Don’t take me at your whim
like a puppet
or a cardboard doll,
love, love, love!
To me you are a coward
because you enter, stay, and leave
without asking for my opinion.
Don’t associate me with sorrow,
don’t give me the loneliness
that the heart requires,
for God’s sake, love, for God’s sake, love!
If you intend
to give lessons to people
be different with me
Let me!
Let me dream, love!

Love!
I think I’ve gone crazy
because I’m talking to myself
and maybe even without reason.
Because at the end of my story
I always start off strong
and end up with no valor.
And I reach the conclusions,
that I lack the courage
to live without you, love.
Oh love
Oh love
Oh love
Oh love
Oh love…

*Chorus (x3)
