Por Pedir Pedí Lyrics in English Antonio Orozco
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Por Pedir Pedí by Antonio Orozco from Spanish to English.
Hoy pedí prestada una libreta donde escribir
Today I borrowed a notebook where to write
Para decir pedir
To say, to ask
Pedí palabras que aún no estaban inventadas
I asked for words that weren't invented yet
Para tocar pedir
To touch, to ask
Las manos que saque de entre dos aguas
The hands I pulled from between two waters
La voz del que en la isla nos callaba
The voice of the one who silenced us on the island
Pedí el atrevimiento de una loca
I asked for the daring of a crazy woman
Y por pedir, pedí
and since I was asking, I asked
Pedí
I asked for
Que nadie como yo entienda tus maneras cuando hablen
That nobody like me understands your ways when they speak
Ni sepa más que yo de tus detalles
Nor knows more than me about your details
Que tu único consuelo sea mirarme
That your only comfort is to look at me
Y que sepas de una vez que antes que nadie
And that you know once and for all that before anybody
Yo soy el prisionero de tus carnes
I am the prisoner of your flesh
Y por pedir, pedí
And since I was asking, I asked
Pedí la fe del que rezaba
I asked for the faith of the one who prayed
El amor de aquel que no olvidaba
The love of the one who didn't forget
Pedí el valor, el que solo le queda esperanza
I asked for the courage, the one who only has hope left
Pedí la gloria del que espera en las trincheras
I asked for the glory of the one who waits in the trenches
Para llorar pedí
To cry, I asked for
La lágrima que inunda los desiertos
The tear that floods the deserts
La tinta de Antonio Gala
The ink of Antonio Gala
Pedí el recibimiento de mi almohada
I asked for the welcome of my pillow
Y por pedir, pedí
And since I was asking, I asked
Pedí
I asked for
Que nadie como yo entienda tus maneras cuando hablen
That nobody like me understands your ways when they speak
Ni sepa más que yo de tus detalles
Nor knows more than me about your details
Que tu único consuelo sea mirarme
That your only comfort is to look at me
Y que sepas de una vez que antes que nadie
And that you know once and for all that before anybody
Yo soy el prisionero de tus carnes
I am the prisoner of your flesh
Por pedir pedí
Since I was asking, I asked
No
no
Y nadie entienda tus maneras cuando hablen
And nobody understands your ways when they speak
Ni sepa más que yo de tus detalles
Nor knows more than me about your details
Que tu único consuelo sea mirarme
That your only comfort is to look at me
Y que sepas de una vez que antes que nadie
And that you know once and for all that before anybody
Yo soy el prisionero de tus carnes
I am the prisoner of your flesh
Y por pedir, pedí
And since I was asking, I asked

Did you like this lyrics translation?
atrevimiento — daring / boldness
Atrevimiento translates to "daring" or "boldness." It's a word that suggests a courageous and audacious spirit, often in a way that pushes boundaries.
In the song, Antonio Orozco sings, "Pedí el atrevimiento de una loca" (I asked for the daring of a madwoman). This line is particularly striking because it personifies daring as something one can request, linking it to an almost wild, uninhibited passion. It's a unique and evocative choice that stands out from more common vocabulary.
