Translation of the song lyrics Mal intento - Maria Rita

Mal intento (original)

Mi canto no és más que un mal intento
De alejarte un instante de mi pensamiento
Pasan los meses
Como passa el rumor de un rio
Cambian la estaciones
Y no se me pasa el frio
Sigo esperando
Encontrar una manera
De acostrumbrarme a esta casa
En la que nadie me espera
Si desejaras entrar un rayo de luz
Y sintieras tán solo una vez
Lo que yo siento
Sabrias que
Mi canto no és más que un mal intento
De alejarte un instante de mi pensamiento
Y fuimos por unos meses
Dos ingredientes de una receta
Fuimos dos flores distintas en una misma maceta
Y todo tiene su tiempo
Tanto lo dulce como lo amargo
No hay pena ni gloria
Que un dia no pase de largo
Si dejaras entrar un rayo de luz
Y sintieras tan solo una vez
Lo que yo siento
Sabrias que
Mi canto no és más que un mal intento
De alejarte un instante de mi pensamiento

(translation)

My song is nothing more than a bad attempt
To get away for a moment from my thoughts
months go by
As the rumor of a river passes
They change the seasons
And I don't get cold
I'm still waiting
Find a way
To get used to this house
in which nobody waits for me
If you let in a ray of light
And you felt only once
What I feel
would you know that
My song is nothing more than a bad attempt
To get away for a moment from my thoughts
And we went for a few months
Two ingredients of a recipe
We were two different flowers in the same pot
And everything has its time
Both the sweet and the bitter
There is neither sorrow nor glory
That one day does not pass by
If you let in a ray of light
And you felt only once
What I feel
would you know that
My song is nothing more than a bad attempt
To get away for a moment from my thoughts
