Translation of the song lyrics Mentiras sinceras - Alex Ubago

Mentiras sinceras (original)

Hay silencios que lo dicen todo
Y palabras que no dicen nada
Hay corduras que te vuelven locos
Y noches negras de esperanza
Hay riquezas que nos hacen pobres
Y perdones que tan solo acusan
Grandes libertades que censura esconden
Y disfraces que te desnudan
Y hay disparos que me dan la vida
Y amores que matan de veras
Hay insultos que son poesías
Y risas que guardan tristezas
Es siempre la misma ironía
Tiene dos puntas la flecha
Hay verdades que son meritas
Y hay mentiras sinceras
Hay peligros que al final me salvan
Valentías que despiertan miedos
Entro en laberintos que el camino encauzan
Huellas que no tocan el suelo
Y hay disparos que me dan la vida
Y amores que matan de veras
Hay insultos que son poesías
Y risas que guardan tristezas
Es siempre la misma ironía
Tiene dos puntas la flecha
Hay verdades que son meritas…
Esa es la lección que aprendo cada día
Solo cerraré mis ojos cuando quiera ver
Y hay disparos que me dan la vida
Y amores que matan de veras
Hay insultos que son poesías
Y risas que guardan tristezas
Es siempre la misma ironía
Tiene dos puntas la flecha
Hay verdades que son meritas…
Y mentiras sinceras

Mentiras sinceras (translation)

There are silences that say it all
And words that say nothing
There are sanities that drive you crazy
And black nights of hope
There are riches that make us poor
And sorry that they only accuse
Great freedoms that censors hide
And costumes that undress you
And there are shots that give me life
And loves that really kill
There are insults that are poetry
And laughter that keeps sadness
It's always the same irony
The arrow has two points
There are truths that are merits
And there are honest lies
There are dangers that ultimately save me
Bravery that arouses fear
I enter labyrinths that channel the path
Footprints that do not touch the ground
And there are shots that give me life
And loves that really kill
There are insults that are poetry
And laughter that keeps sadness
It's always the same irony
The arrow has two points
There are truths that are worthwhile...
That's the lesson I learn every day
I'll just close my eyes when I want to see
And there are shots that give me life
And loves that really kill
There are insults that are poetry
And laughter that keeps sadness
It's always the same irony
The arrow has two points
There are truths that are worthwhile...
and honest lies
