Lyrics of Un Mundo Raro - Lila Downs

Un Mundo Raro (original)

Cuando te hablen de amor
Y de ilusiones
Y te ofrezcan un sol
Y un cielo entero
Si te acuerdas de mí
No me menciones
Porque vas a sentir
Amor del bueno
Y si quieren saber
De tu pasado
Es preciso decir una mentira
Dí que vienes de allá
De un mundo raro
Que no sabes llorar
Que no entiendes de amor
Y que nunca has amado
Porque yo a donde voy
Hablaré de tu amor
Como un sueño dorado
Olvidando el rencor
No diré que tu adiós
Me volvió desgraciado
Y si quieren saber
De mi pasado
Es preciso decir otra mentira
Les diré que llegué
De un mundo raro
Que no sé del dolor
Que triunfé en el amor
Y que nunca he llorado
Yo, nunca he llorado

(translation)

When they talk to you about love
and of illusions
And they offer you a sun
and a whole sky
If you remember me
don't mention me
because you are going to feel
Good love
and if you want to know
of your past
It is necessary to tell a lie
Say you come from there
of a strange world
that you don't know how to cry
What do you not understand about love?
and that you have never loved
Because where do I go?
I will talk about your love
like a golden dream
Forgetting the grudge
I won't say your goodbye
made me miserable
and if you want to know
from my past
It is necessary to tell another lie
I will tell them that I arrived
of a strange world
I don't know about pain
that I triumphed in love
And that I have never cried
I have never cried
