Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Por Amar A Ciegas by Arcangel from Spanish to English.
Yo le pregunté a un pastor
I asked a pastor
Del amor y él me dijo que se lo entregara a Dios
About love and he told me to give it to God
Que no me sintiera solo
Not to feel alone
Que estar solo era mejor que vivir de una ilusión
That being alone was better than living in an illusion
Yo le pregunté a un dentista del amor a primera vista
I asked a love at first sight dentist
Y dijo que era un error
And he said it was a mistake
Que eso era de novelistas, soñadores
That it was for novelists, dreamers
Que en la vida hay que ser más realista
That in life you have to be more realistic
Y ahora que no te tengo pienso en todo el tiempo perdido
And now that I don't have you, I think about all the lost time
Que perdí, contigo
That I lost, with you
Pues por amarte a ciegas yo
Because by loving you blindly
No escuché y me lancé al vacío por amor
I didn't listen and I jumped into the void for love
Todos me dijeron, todos me advertían
Everyone told me, everyone warned me
Que hay flores que tienen espinas
That there are flowers that have thorns
Yo le pregunté a un señor
I asked a man
Del amor y él me dijo que ignorarlo era mejor
About love and he told me that ignoring it was better
Que yo era joven y el dinero debería ser más importante
That I was young and money should be more important
Que mil amores
Than a thousand loves
Yo le pregunté a un anciano
I asked an old man
En algún lugar, lejano del amor y las pasiones
In some distant place, far from love and passions
Me dijo, 'Hijo, eso es un cristal de
He told me, 'Son, that is a double-edged glass
Doble filo y corta, te guinda de un hilo'
It cuts, it hangs you by a thread'
Y ahora que no te tengo pienso en todo el tiempo perdido
And now that I don't have you, I think about all the lost time
Que perdí, contigo
That I lost, with you
Pues por amarte a ciegas yo
Because by loving you blindly
No escuché y me lancé al vacío por amor
I didn't listen and I jumped into the void for love
Todos me dijeron, todos me advertían
Everyone told me, everyone warned me
Que hay flores que tienen espinas
That there are flowers that have thorns
Yo le pregunté a mi padre del amor y la inocencia
I asked my father about love and innocence
De la fe, la paciencia, ¿y sabes lo que dijo?
About faith, patience, and you know what he said?
'Hijo, siempre es mejor ignorar el corazón
'Son, it's always better to ignore the heart
Hazle caso a tu conciencia'
Listen to your conscience'
Yo le pregunté a mi madre del amor que te tenía
I asked my mother about the love she had for you
Y dijo que eran fantasías
And she said it was fantasies
Que si yo no le creía, con el tiempo aprendería
That if I didn't believe her, with time I would learn
Que ella tenía razón
That she was right
Y ahora que no te tengo pienso en todo el tiempo perdido
And now that I don't have you, I think about all the lost time
Que perdí, contigo
That I lost, with you
Pues por amarte a ciegas yo
Because by loving you blindly
No escuché y me lancé al vacío por amor
I didn't listen and I jumped into the void for love
Todos me dijeron, todos me advertían
Everyone told me, everyone warned me
Que hay flores que tienen espinas
That there are flowers that have thorns
