These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Yo no quería mentir
I didn't want to lie.
Me hiciste un mentiroso;
You made me a liar;
Hoy solo digo lo que tu quieres oír
Today I only say what you want to hear
Como un acto piadoso
As a pious act
Yo no quería huir
I didn't want to run away.
Me hiciste un fugitivo;
You made me a fugitive;
Con tal de no reír
As long as you don't laugh
Me invento algún motivo
I invent some reason
Total que sigo siendo
Total I still am
El mismo que yo he sido;
The same as I have been;
Y si es que soy distinto
And if I'm different
Lo soy solo contigo
I am only with you
Con tal de dibujarte
In order to draw you
En el rostro una sonrisa
On the face a smile
Mentir se hizo un ejercicio
Lying became an exercise
Soy un embustero
I'm a liar
Una mentira que te haga feliz
A lie that makes you happy
Vale más que una verdad que te amargue la vida
It's worth more than a truth that burdens your life
Una mentira hará crecer mi nariz a cambio de libertad
A lie will grow my nose in exchange for freedom
Y de aferrarte a mi vida
And to hold on to my life
Que hago para que entiendas
What do I do so that you understand
Que si miento es porque nunca creerás
That if I lie it is because you will never believe
Que en el sitio donde esté
That in the place where you are
Siempre estaré pensando en ti
I'll always be thinking of you
Que culpa tengo yo
What is my fault?
Del crimen y el castigo;
Of crime and punishment;
De creer que por amor
To believe that for love
Dejamos de ser amigos
We stop being friends
Si te fijaste en mi
If you noticed me
No fue por ser un santo;
It wasn't because he was a saint;
Lo que te gustó de mi
What you liked about me
Hoy te provoca llanto
Today it makes you cry
Para que armo la guerra
Why do I wage war
Siéndote sincero;
Being sincere;
Mentir es una forma
Lying is a way
De decir te quiero
To say I love you
Con tal de no ser blanco
As long as you are not white
De tus peores enojos;
Of your worst anger;
Miento como un enfermo
I lie like a sick person
Y viéndote a los ojos
And looking into your eyes
Una mentira que te haga feliz
A lie that makes you happy
Vale más que una verdad que te amargue la vida
It's worth more than a truth that burdens your life
Una mentira hará¡ crecer mi nariz a cambio de libertad
A lie will grow my nose in exchange for freedom
Y de aferrarte a mi vida
And to hold on to my life
Que hago para que entiendas
What do I do so that you understand
Que si miento es porque nunca creerás
That if I lie it is because you will never believe
Que en el sitio donde esté
That in the place where you are
Siempre estaré pensando en ti
I'll always be thinking of you
Una mentira que te haga feliz
A lie that makes you happy
Vale más que una verdad que te amargue la vida
It's worth more than a truth that burdens your life
Una mentira hará¡ crecer mi nariz a cambio de libertad
A lie will grow my nose in exchange for freedom
Y de aferrarte a mi vida
And to hold on to my life
Que hago para que entiendas
What do I do so that you understand
Que si miento es porque nunca creerás
That if I lie it is because you will never believe
Que en el sitio donde está
That in the place where you are
Siempre estará pensando en ti
He will always be thinking of you
