Yo No Nací Para Amar Lyrics in English Juan Gabriel
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Yo No Nací Para Amar by Juan Gabriel from Spanish to English.
A mis dieciséis
At sixteen
Anhelaba tanto un amor que no llegó
I longed so much for a love that never came
Siempre lo esperé
I always waited for it
Todos mis amigos se encontraban en la misma situación
All my friends were in the same situation
Y después yo vi
And then I saw
Cómo iban cambiando su manera de vivir
How they were changing their way of life
Todos con su amor
All with their love
Cada uno de ellos muy sonrientes, muy felices, menos yo
Each one of them very smiling, very happy, except me
Una soledad
A loneliness
Cada vez más triste y más obscura yo viví
Each time sadder and darker I lived
Y a esa edad
And at that age
Todos preguntaban los motivos, yo solía siempre decir
Everyone asked the reasons, I always used to say
Yo no nací para amar, nadie nació para mí
I wasn't born to love, nobody was born for me
Tan solo fui un loco soñador, no más
I was just a crazy dreamer, no more
Yo no nací para amar, nadie nació para mí
I wasn't born to love, nobody was born for me
Mis sueños nunca se volvieron realidad
My dreams never came true
Siempre lo busqué
I always looked for it
Pero nunca pude encontrar ese amor
But I never could find that love
Siempre lo esperé
I always waited for it
Y en todas partes que esperaba, ese amor nunca llegó
And everywhere I waited, that love never came
Hoy mi soledad
Today my loneliness
Cada vez más triste y más obscura pueden ver
Each time sadder and darker you can see
Hoy, en esta edad
Today, at this age
Aún me preguntan mis amigos y es tan triste responder
My friends still ask me and it's so sad to answer
Yo no nací para amar, nadie nació para mí
I wasn't born to love, nobody was born for me
Tan solo fui un loco soñador, no más
I was just a crazy dreamer, no more
Yo no nací para amar, nadie nació para mí
I wasn't born to love, nobody was born for me
Mis sueños nunca se volvieron realidad
My dreams never came true
Yo no nací para amar, nadie nació para mí
I wasn't born to love, nobody was born for me
Tan solo fui un loco soñador, no más
I was just a crazy dreamer, no more
Yo no nací para amar, nadie nació para mí
I wasn't born to love, nobody was born for me
Mis sueños no se realizaron
My dreams didn't come true
Yo no nací
I wasn't born
Para amar
To love

Did you like this lyrics translation?
anhelaba — longed for / yearned for
Anhelaba comes from the verb anhelar, meaning 'to long for' or 'to yearn for'. It's a more intense and poetic way to express desire than simply 'querer' (to want).
In "Yo No Nací para Amar," Juan Gabriel uses anhelaba to convey a deep, heartfelt longing for love that never arrived. He sings, "Anhelaba tanto un amor que no llegó" (I longed so much for a love that never came), perfectly capturing the song's central theme of unfulfilled romantic dreams. This word evokes a strong sense of yearning and melancholy, making it particularly impactful.
