La Jaula Lyrics in English Dani Martin , Alejandro Sanz
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song La Jaula by Dani Martin from Spanish to English.
Hoy me voy a alejar
Today I'm going to move away
Eres dueña de tu libertad y eso me hace más libre
You own your freedom and that makes me freer
Hoy tienes tu lugar
Today you have your place
El mismo que te supe dar Pero que no entendiste
The same one I knew how to give you But you didn't understand
Qué pena, qué pena, que nunca supiste ver
What a shame, what a shame, that you never knew how to see
Que se puede abrazar y volar a la vez
That you can hug and fly at the same time
Qué pena que nunca quisiste ser
What a shame that you never wanted to be
El ave que vuela y que quiere volver
The bird that flies and wants to return
Qué pena que el miedo te gana otra vez
What a shame that fear beats you again
Y quieras atarme de manos y pies
And you want to tie me hand and foot
Me aleja que pienses que querer es tener
It distances me that you think to love is to have
Y a mí me da pena
And it makes me sad
Pero qué pena, mira qué pena
But what a shame, look what a shame
Que el amor se muere dentro de tu jaula con esas cadenas
That love dies inside your cage with those chains
Pero qué pena, mira qué pena
But what a shame, look what a shame
Que quieras hacer del amor tu cárcel, esa es tu condena
That you want to make love your prison, that is your sentence
Hoy me voy a alejar
Today I'm going to move away
De mano de la libertad
From the hand of freedom
Que a mí me gusta libre
That I like it free
Qué pena, qué pena que nunca supiste ver
What a shame, what a shame that you never knew how to see
Que se puede abrazar y volar a la vez
That you can hug and fly at the same time
Qué pena que nunca quisiste ser
What a shame that you never wanted to be
El ave que vuela y que quiere volver
The bird that flies and wants to return
Qué pena que el miedo te gana otra vez
What a shame that fear beats you again
Y quieras atarme de manos y pies
And you want to tie me hand and foot
Me aleja que pienses que querer es tener
It distances me that you think to love is to have
Y a mí me da pena
And it makes me sad
Pero qué pena, mira qué pena
But what a shame, look what a shame
Que el amor se muere dentro de tu jaula con esas cadenas
That love dies inside your cage with those chains
Pero qué pena, mira qué pena
But what a shame, look what a shame
Que quieras hacer del amor tu cárcel, esa es tu condena
That you want to make love your prison, that is your sentence
Mira que el amor, mira que al amor le duele
Look, love, look, love hurts
Cuando se le amarra pa' que no se vuele
When it's tied up so it doesn't fly away
El amor, mira que el amor se muere
Love, look, love dies
Si no se le deja respirar, se muere
If it's not allowed to breathe, it dies
El amor, mira que al amor le duele
Love, look, love hurts
Cuando se le amarra pa' que no se vuele
When it's tied up so it doesn't fly away
El amor, mira que el amor se muere
Love, look, love dies
Si no se le deja respirar
If it's not allowed to breathe
Pero qué pena, mira qué pena
But what a shame, look what a shame
Que el amor se muere dentro de tu jaula con esas cadenas
That love dies inside your cage with those chains
Pero qué pena, mira qué pena
But what a shame, look what a shame
Que quieras hacer del amor tu cárcel, esa es tu condena
That you want to make love your prison, that is your sentence

Did you like this lyrics translation?
jaula — cage
Jaula literally translates to "cage". It's a striking and evocative word that immediately brings to mind images of confinement and lack of freedom.
In this song, Dani Martin uses "jaula" metaphorically to describe a suffocating relationship where one partner tries to control the other. He sings about "el amor se muere dentro de tu jaula con esas cadenas" (love dies inside your cage with those chains), powerfully conveying the idea that true love cannot thrive when it's trapped and restricted.
