Lyrics of Palabras para Julia - Mercedes Sosa

Palabras para Julia (original)

Tú no puedes volver atrás
Porque la vida ya te empuja
Como un aullido interminable
Interminable
Te sentirás acorralada
Te sentirás perdida y sola
Tal vez querrás no haber nacido
No haber nacido
Entonces siempre acuérdate
De lo que un día yo escribí
Pensando en ti, pensando en ti
Como ahora pienso
La vida es bella y ya verás
Como a pesar de los pesares
Tendrás amigos, tendrás amor
Tendrás amigo
Un hombre solo, una mujer
Así tomados de uno en uno
Son como polvo no son nada
No son nada
Entonces siempre acuérdate
De lo que un día yo escribí
Pensando en ti, pensando en ti
Como ahora pienso
Todos esperan que resistas
Que les ayude tu alegría
Que les ayude tu canción
Entre sus canciones
Nunca te entregues ni te apartes
Junto al camino nunca digas
«no puedo más aquí me quedo»
Aquí me quedo
Entonces siempre acuérdate
De lo que un día yo escribí
Pensando en ti, pensando en ti
Como ahora pienso
La vida es bella y ya verás
Como a pesar de los pesares
Tendrás amigos, tendrás amor
Tendrás amigo
No sé decirte nada más
Sólo tú debes comprender
Que yo estoy solo en el camino
En el camino
Entonces siempre acuérdate
De lo que un día yo escribí
Pensando en ti, pensando en ti
Como ahora pienso

(translation)

you can't go back
Because life already pushes you
Like an endless howl
Endless
you will feel cornered
You will feel lost and alone
Maybe you wish you hadn't been born
Not having been born
So always remember
Of what one day I wrote
Thinking of you, thinking of you
like now i think
Life is beautiful and you'll see
As despite the regrets
You will have friends, you will have love
you will have friend
A man alone, a woman
So taken one by one
They are like dust they are nothing
They're nothing
So always remember
Of what one day I wrote
Thinking of you, thinking of you
like now i think
Everyone expects you to resist
May your joy help them
May your song help them
between his songs
Never give in or turn away
Along the way never say
"I can't anymore here I stay"
I'll stay here
So always remember
Of what one day I wrote
Thinking of you, thinking of you
like now i think
Life is beautiful and you'll see
As despite the regrets
You will have friends, you will have love
you will have friend
I don't know how to tell you anything else
Only you must understand
That I am alone on the road
In the path
So always remember
Of what one day I wrote
Thinking of you, thinking of you
like now i think
