Translation of the song lyrics El Equilibrista - Braulio

El Equilibrista (original)

Yo edifiqué una montaña de mentiras
que acabó cayendo sobre mí
de la verdad fui equilibrista
y me arriesgué a cruzar la pista
tantas veces sin la red
que un día resbalé y vine a dar
con todos mis enredos ante ti
y no te oí decir mas que este refrán
fue tantas veces el cántaro a la fuente
que se rompió al final.
Y así con el capricho del colibrí
que va volando de flor en flor
sin darme cuenta
quemé mi vida, quemé mi vida.
Yo fui el trapecista que se atrevió
a dar el triple salto mortal
y hoy esta solo en su caída
tan solo sin tu amor
ay tan solo sin tu amor
tan solo sin tu amor.
Yo me perdí en tanta estúpida aventura
que le di la espalda a la razón
no me paraba ni el temor a la ruptura
si me sorprendías en la traición
y un día resbalé y vine a dar
con todos mis enredos ante ti
y no te oí decir mas que este refrán
fue tantas veces el cántaro a la fuente
que se rompió al final.
Y así con el capricho del colibrí
que va volando de flor en flor
sin darme cuenta
quemé mi vida, quemé mi vida.
Yo fui el trapecista que se atrevió
a dar el triple salto mortal
y hoy esta solo en su caída
tan solo sin tu amor
ay tan solo sin tu amor
ah tan solo sin tu amor.
Y así con el capricho del colibrí
que va volando de flor en flor
sin darme cuenta
quemé mi vida, quemé mi vida.
Yo fui el trapecista que se atrevió
a dar el triple salto mortal
y hoy esta solo en su caída.

El Equilibrista (translation)

I built a mountain of lies
that ended up falling on me
the truth was I was a tightrope walker
and I risked crossing the track
so many times without the network
that one day I slipped and came to give
with all my entanglements before you
and I did not hear you say more than this saying
the pitcher went to the fountain so many times
which broke in the end.
And so with the whim of the hummingbird
that flies from flower to flower
without noticing
I burned my life, I burned my life.
I was the trapeze artist who dared
to do the triple somersault
and today he is alone in his fall
so alone without your love
Oh, alone without your love
alone without your love
I got lost in so many stupid adventures
that I turned my back on reason
Not even the fear of rupture stopped me
if you caught me in treason
and one day I slipped and came to give
with all my entanglements before you
and I did not hear you say more than this saying
the pitcher went to the fountain so many times
which broke in the end.
And so with the whim of the hummingbird
that flies from flower to flower
without noticing
I burned my life, I burned my life.
I was the trapeze artist who dared
to do the triple somersault
and today he is alone in his fall
so alone without your love
Oh, alone without your love
ah alone without your love
And so with the whim of the hummingbird
that flies from flower to flower
without noticing
I burned my life, I burned my life.
I was the trapeze artist who dared
to do the triple somersault
and today he is alone in his fall from him.
