Lyrics of Solo - Willie Colón, Rubén Blades

Solo (original)

Porqué será
Que cada vez
Que me enamoro
Me sale mal
Siempre al final
Me quedo solo
Pensando
Lo que pudo ser
Y no será
La amargura del recuerdo
Del fracaso
No la puedo soportar
Y cada vez
Con cada golpe
Se va muriendo
La fe que un dia tuvo mi amor
Limpio y sincero
Veo pasar mis ilusiones locas
Sin que nadie las quiera salvar
Y me siento tan solo
Que por dentro me pongo a llorar
Y cada vez
Con cada golpe
Se va muriendo
La fe que un dia
Tuvo mi amor
Limpio y sincero
Veo pasar mis ilusiones rotas
Sin que nadie las quiera salvar
Y me siento tan solo
Que por dentro me pongo a llorar

(translation)

why will it be
That every time
I'm in love
I did it wrong
always at the end
I stay alone
Thinking
What could have been
and it won't be
the bitterness of memory
of failure
I can't stand it
And everytime
with every hit
she is dying
The faith that one day my love had
clean and honest
I see my crazy illusions pass by
Without anyone wanting to save them
And I feel so alone
That inside I start to cry
And everytime
with every hit
is dying
The faith that one day
had my love
clean and honest
I see my broken illusions pass by
Without anyone wanting to save them
And I feel so alone
That inside I start to cry
