Translation:
She sat
She sat with a fearful look on her face and
Examined the overturned tea cup
She said, my son, don’t grieve. – x2
For love is written for you,My son
love is written for you, My son. – x3
x3
My son, you will die a martyr. – x3
But death is worth it for the one you love. – x4
My son, you will die a martyr. – x3
But death is worth it for the one you love. – x4
My son, my son!
I interpreted it
I interpreted it but thought it was a mistake
Because I never read
A cup that resembles your cup
I interpreted it
I interpreted it but thought it was a mistake
Because I never witnessed
Grief that resembles your grief
x3
You’re doomed to never settle
In the ocean of love, constantly changing paths
And your life, all your life
Your whole life will be a story of tears
x3
You’re doomed to always be imprisoned
Between water and fire
x4
Despite all that burns you
And despite all that saddens you
x2
And despite the grief that lives within you
Day and night
x2
And despite the wind
And despite the rainy and stormy weather
Love has left you, my son. – x4
The greatest of things. – x2
My son
You’re doomed to always be imprisoned
Between water and fire
x4
Despite all that burns you
And despite all that saddens you
x2
And despite the grief that lives within you
Day and night
x2
And despite the wind
And despite the rainy and stormy weather
Love has left you, my son. – x4
The greatest of things. – x2
My son. – x2
I swear to you, my son, this woman
Her eyes are beyond belief
x4
Her face looks like a painting
Her laugh is as beautiful as a song or roses
x2
And her wild and crazy hair
Travels all around the world
One day, this woman, my son
The love of your heart
Becomes your whole world
I swear to you, my son, this woman
Her eyes are beyond belief
x3
Her face looks like a painting
Her laugh is as beautiful as a song or roses
x2
And her wild and crazy hair
Travels all around the world
One day, this woman, my son
The love of your heart
Becomes your whole world
I swear to you, my son, this woman
Her eyes are beyond belief
x3
Her face looks like a painting
Her laugh is as beautiful as a song or roses
And her wild and crazy hair
Travels all around the world
One day, this woman, my son
The love of your heart
Becomes your whole world
I swear to you, my son, this woman
Her eyes are beyond belief
Her face looks like a painting
Her laugh is as beautiful as a song or roses
And her wild and crazy hair
Travels all around the world
One day, this woman, my son
The love of your heart
Becomes your whole world
I swear to you, my son, this woman
Her eyes are beyond belief
Her face looks like a painting
Her laugh is as beautiful as a song or roses
But your sky becomes cloudy and torn
And your path is blocked
But your sky becomes cloudy and torn
And your path is blocked
But your sky becomes cloudy and torn
And your path is blocked
For the love of your heart, my son
Sleeps in a large, gated castle
He who enters its gates
He who asks for her hand
He who enters her cell
He who tries to break her chains
He who tries to break her chains
My son, will cause her to vanish
Vanish. - x3
My son, my son
You will try to search for her, my son Everywhere
And you will try to ask the waves of the sea
And everyone you meet about her
x5
And you'll travel ocean after ocean
And your tears will flow like rivers
x2
And your grief will grow
So great as to resemble trees
You will try to search for her, my son Everywhere
And you will try to ask the waves of the sea
And everyone you meet about her
x7
And you’ll travel ocean after ocean
And your tears will flow like rivers
X2
And your grief will grow
So great as to resemble trees
And you will return one day, my son
Defeated, broken and wounded
x7
And you will realize after your life is lost
That you where running after an illusion
Because the love of your life
Has neither a land
Nor country, nor address
x3
It’s impossible to love a woman
My son, who has no home
x3
Who has no home. – x2
No home. – x2
It’s impossible to love a woman
My son, who has no home
x2
Who has no home. - x2
No home. - x2
My son - x2
