Lyrics of Como un corazón - Los Secretos, Jackson Browne

Como un corazón (original)

Atrapada en su collar
una piedra de rubí
como un corazón.
Y ya nunca olvidaré
aquella pena, aquel dolor
como un corazón.
I guess I never knew
what she was talking about.
I guess I never knew
what she was living without.
Me hablas del amor
sin darle el menor valor
buscarás alguien que te sirva mejor
ser o no ser adicto a algo
que te acerque a lo que estás soñando.
El agujero en la pared
parecía una señal
de un puño tal vez
de rabia o desdén.
O quién sabe lo que fue
que golpeó en la pared
algún objeto sin querer
un corazón del revés.
Me hablas del amor
sin darle el menor valor
buscarás alguien que te sirva mejor
ser o no ser adicto a algo
que te acerque a lo que estás soñando.
Me hablas del amor
sin darle el menor valor
buscarás alguien que te sirva mejor
lucharás y tratarás de que la vida no te eché atrás
y no puedes ver las grietas y fallos
que hay bajo un corazón.
Como un corazón
It was the ruby that she wore
on a stand beside the bed
in the hour before dawn
when I knew she was gone.
And I held it in my hand
for a little while
and dropped it into the wall
let it go, heard it fall.
Me hablas del amor
sin darle el menor valor
buscarás alguien que te sirva mejor
ser o no ser adicto a algo
que te acerque a lo que estás soñando.
I guess I never knew
what she was talking about.
I guess I never knew
what she was living without

(translation)

trapped in her collar
a ruby ​​stone
like a heart
And I will never forget
that sorrow, that pain
like a heart
I guess I never knew
what she was talking about.
I guess I never knew
what she was living without.
you talk to me about love
without giving it the least value
you will look for someone who serves you better
to be or not to be addicted to something
that brings you closer to what you are dreaming of.
The hole in the wall
seemed like a sign
of a fist maybe
of anger or disdain.
Or who knows what she was
that she hit the wall
some accidental object
an upside down heart
you talk to me about love
without giving it the least value
you will look for someone who serves you better
to be or not to be addicted to something
that brings you closer to what you are dreaming of.
you talk to me about love
without giving it the least value
you will look for someone who serves you better
you will fight and you will try not to let life throw you back
and you can't see the cracks and flaws
What is under a heart?
like a heart
It was the ruby ​​that she wore
on a stand beside the bed
in the hour before dawn
when I knew she was gone.
And I held it in my hand
for a little while
and dropped it into the wall
let it go, hear it fall.
you talk to me about love
without giving it the least value
you will look for someone who serves you better
to be or not to be addicted to something
that brings you closer to what you are dreaming of.
I guess I never knew
what she was talking about.
I guess I never knew
what she was living without
