Translation of the song lyrics Tomame o Dejame - MARIA CONCHITA ALONSO

Tomame o Dejame (original)

Tómame o déjame, pero no me pidas que te crea mas
Cuando llegas tarde a casa, no tienes por que inventar
Pues tu ropa huele a leña de otro hogar
Tómame o déjame, si no estoy despierta, déjame soñar
No me beses en la frente, sabes que te oí llegar
Y tu beso sabe a culpabilidad
Tu me admiras porque callo y miro al cielo
Porque no me ves llorar
Y te sientes cada día mas pequeño
Y esquivas mi mirada, de tu mirar
Tómame o déjame, ni te espío ni te quito libertad
Pero si dejas el nido, si me vas a abandonar
Hazlo antes de que empiece a clarear
Tu me admiras porque callo y miro al cielo
Porque no me ves llorar
Y te sientes cada día mas pequeño
Y esquivas mi mirada, de tu mirar
Tómame o déjame, y si vuelves trae contigo la verdad
Trae erguida la mirada, trae contigo a mi rival
Y es mejor, que yo, podré entonces llorar

(translation)

Take me or leave me, but don't ask me to believe you anymore
When you come home late, you don't have to make up
Well, your clothes smell like firewood from another home
Take me or leave me, if I'm not awake, let me dream
Don't kiss me on the forehead, you know I heard you coming
And your kiss tastes like guilt
You admire me because I shut up and look at the sky
Why don't you see me cry
And you feel smaller every day
And you avoid my gaze, from your gaze
Take me or leave me, I neither spy on you nor take away your freedom
But if you leave the nest, if you're going to leave me
Do it before it starts to get light
You admire me because I shut up and look at the sky
Why don't you see me cry
And you feel smaller every day
And you avoid my gaze, from your gaze
Take me or leave me, and if you come back bring the truth with you
Bring your gaze straight, bring my rival with you
And it's better that I can cry then
