Si Usted La Viera Lyrics in English Ricardo Arjona
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Si Usted La Viera by Ricardo Arjona from Spanish to English.
El confesor me dice que no te quiera, y yo le digo
The confessor tells me not to love you, and I tell him
'Padre, si usted la vieras
'Father, if you saw her
Dice que tus amores me vuelven loco que mi deber no atiendo
He says your love drives me crazy, that I neglect my duty
Que duermo poco, que duermo poco
That I sleep little, that I sleep little
Dice que nuestras muchas conversaciones
He says our many conversations
Fomentan en la aldea murmuraciones
Encourage gossip in the village
Dice que no quererte fácil me fuera y yo le digo
He says not loving you would be easier, and I tell him
'Padre, si usted la viera, si usted la viera
'Father, if you saw her, if you saw her
En vano le aseguro que eres tan pura
In vain I assure him that you are so pure
Hay que rezar delante de tu hermosura
One must pray in front of your beauty
Que eres gentil, airosa cual azucena
That you are gentle, graceful like a lily
Que nacen de tus labios nardo y verbena
That from your lips bloom and verbena arise
Que son lluvias de mayo tus blondos rizos
That your blonde curls are May rains
Y que vivir no puedo sin tus hechizos
And that I cannot live without your spells
Él me dice muy hosco que es gran quimera
He tells me very harshly that it's a great chimera
Y yo le digo Padre, si usted la viera
And I tell him Father, if you saw her
Confesando que el alma tengo en tus ojos
Confessing that I have my soul in your eyes
Me dijo el Padre cura con mil enojos
The Father told me with a thousand scolds
Que un pecado tan grande no perdonaba
That such a great sin he wouldn't forgive
Y que si te quería me condenaba, me condenaba
And that if I loved you, I would damn myself, damn myself
Entonces con amante dulce arrebato
Then with a sweet lover's impulse
Del pecho en que lo llevo saqué un retrato
From the chest where I keep it, I took out a portrait
Y el cura al ver tu imagen, luz y alma mía
And the priest, seeing your image, my light and soul
Contemplándolo lo absorto se sonreía, él sonreía
Contemplating it, he smiled in awe, he smiled
'Esa sí que refleja santos amores'
'That one truly reflects holy love'
Creyó que eras la virgen de los dolores
He thought you were the Virgin of Sorrows
'Esa sí que es hermosa, qué luz destella'
'That one is truly beautiful, what a light it radiates'
Y yo le dije 'Padre, pues ésta es ellas
And I told him 'Father, well, this is her
Olvidado ya el cura de su corona
The priest, forgetting his crown
Dijo abriendo los ojos, 'linda persona
Said, opening his eyes, 'lovely person
Si es buena como hermosa que en paz te quieras
If she is as good as she is beautiful, may you find peace'
Yo le dije padre, si usted la viera
I told him, Father, if you saw her
'Esa sí que refleja santos amores'
'That one truly reflects holy love'
Creyó que eras la virgen de los dolores
He thought you were the Virgin of Sorrows
'Esa sí que es hermosa, qué luz destella'
'That one is truly beautiful, what a light it radiates'
Y yo le dije 'Padre, pues ésta es ellas
And I told him 'Father, well, this is her
Olvidado ya el cura de su corona
The priest, forgetting his crown
Dijo abriendo los ojos, 'linda persona
Said, opening his eyes, 'lovely person
Si es buena como hermosa que en paz te quieras
If she is as good as she is beautiful, may you find peace
Yo le dije padre
I told him, Father
Si usted la viera
If you saw her
