| Desde la plaza de armas de un lugar cualquiera
| From the parade ground of any place
|
| Te escribo una carta para que tú sepas
| I write you a letter so that you know
|
| Lo que ya sabías, aunque no lo dijeras
| What you already knew, even if you didn't say it
|
| Espero que llegue a tus manos y, que no la devuelvas
| I hope it reaches your hands and that you do not return it
|
| Que pagues el rescate que abajo te indico
| That you pay the ransom that I indicate below
|
| Yo tampoco me explico, por qué no acudí antes a ti
| I don't explain myself either, why I didn't come to you before
|
| Pero nadie puede salvarme, nadie sabe lo que sabes
| But no one can save me, no one knows what you know
|
| Y tampoco entregarían lo que vale mi rescate
| And neither would they deliver what my ransom is worth
|
| No hay dinero, ni castillos, ni avales, ni talonarios
| There is no money, no castles, no endorsements, no checkbooks
|
| No hay en este mundo, -aunque parezca absurdo-
| There is not in this world, -although it may seem absurd-
|
| Ni en planetas por descubrir, lo que aquí te pido
| Not even in undiscovered planets, what I ask of you here
|
| Y no te obligo a nada que no quieras
| And I do not force you to anything that you do not want
|
| Las fuerzas me fallan, mis piernas no responden;
| My strength fails me, my legs don't respond;
|
| Te conocen, pero no llegan a ti
| They know you, but they don't reach you
|
| Decidí por eso mismo, un mecanismo de defensa
| I decided for that, a defense mechanism
|
| Y presa como está mi alma, con la calma suficiente
| And prey as my soul is, calmly enough
|
| Ser más fuerte, y enfrentarme cuanto antes a la verdad
| Be stronger, and face the truth as soon as possible
|
| Sin dudar un segundo, lo asumo, sólo tú puedes pagar el rescate
| Without a second's hesitation, I assume, only you can pay the ransom
|
| Devuélveme el amor que me arrebataste
| Give me back the love you took from me
|
| O entrégaselo, lo mismo me da, al abajo firmante;
| Or deliver it, I don't care, to the undersigned;
|
| Pues no hay en este mundo, -aunque parezca absurdo-
| Well, there is not in this world, -although it may seem absurd-
|
| Ni en planetas por descubrir, lo que aquí te pido
| Not even in undiscovered planets, what I ask of you here
|
| Y no te obligo a nada que no quieras
| And I do not force you to anything that you do not want
|
| Las fuerzas me fallan, mis piernas no responden;
| My strength fails me, my legs don't respond;
|
| Te conocen, pero no llegan a ti
| They know you, but they don't reach you
|
| Y no te obligo a nada que no quieras
| And I do not force you to anything that you do not want
|
| Las fuerzas me fallan, mis piernas no responden;
| My strength fails me, my legs don't respond;
|
| Te conocen, pero no llegan a ti
| They know you, but they don't reach you
