Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Uno by Ibrahim Ferrer from Spanish to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Uno busca lleno de esperanzas
one searches full of hope
El camino que los sueños
The path that dreams
Prometieron a sus ansias
They promised to their cravings
Sabe que la lucha es cruel
He knows that the fight is cruel
Y es mucha pero lucha y se desangra
And it's a lot but he fights and bleeds
Por la fe que lo empecina
For the faith that starts it
Uno va arrastrándose entre espinas
One is crawling between thorns
Y en su afán de dar su amor
And in his eagerness to give his love
Lucha y se destroza hasta entender
Fight and break until you understand
Que uno se ha quedao' sin corazón
That one has been left without a heart
Precio de un castigo que uno entrega
Price of a punishment that one delivers
Por un beso que no llega
for a kiss that does not arrive
O un amor que lo engañó
Or a love that deceived him
Vacío ya de amar y de llorar
Empty of loving and crying
Tanta traición
so much betrayal
Si yo tuviera el corazón
if i had the heart
El corazón que di
the heart i gave
Si yo pudiera como ayer
if i could like yesterday
Querer sin presentir
want without presenting
Si es posible que a tus ojos
If it is possible that in your eyes
Que me gritan tu cariño
that they shout your love to me
Se cerraran con mis besos
They will close with my kisses
Sin pensar que eran como esos
Without thinking that they were like those
Otros ojos, los perversos
Other eyes, the wicked
Que hundieron mi vivir
that sank my life
Si yo tuviera el corazón
if i had the heart
El mismo que perdí
the same one i lost
No olvidarán la que ayer
They will not forget the one that yesterday
Lo destrozó y pudiera amarte
She tore it apart and she could love you
Me abrazaría a tu ilusión
I would embrace your illusion
Para llorar tu amor
to cry your love
Pero, Dios te puso en mi camino
But, God put you in my way
Sin pensar que ya es muy tarde
Without thinking that it's too late
Y no sabré cómo quererte
And I won't know how to love you
Déjame que llore
let me cry
Como aquel que sufre en vida
Like the one who suffers in life
La tortura de llorar su propia muerte
The torture of mourning his own death
Buena cómo eres salvaría
Good, how are you, I would save
Mi esperanza con tu amor
my hope with your love
Uno está tan solo en su dolor
one is so alone in his pain
Y uno está tan ciego en su penar
And one is so blind in his grief
Pero un frío cruel
But cruel cold
Que es peor que el odio
What is worse than hate?
Punto muerto de las almas
stalemate of souls
Tumba horrenda y de mi amor
Horrendous tomb and my love
Maldigo para siempre y me robó
I curse forever and he stole me
Si yo tuviera el corazón
if i had the heart
El mismo que perdí
the same one i lost
No olvidará la que ayer
He will not forget the one that yesterday
Lo destrozó y pudiera amarte
She tore it apart and she could love you
Me abrazaría a tu ilusión
I would embrace your illusion
Para llorar tu amor
to cry your love
