Lyrics
Español
No me digas la buenaventura Gitana, pa´ qué, Dejame que la vida me lleve De golpe, a sorpresas, como la de ayer. Yo soy hombre que está en el camino Que acepta el destino como quiera ser, Si no lloro lo ya sucedido Más de lo perdido, no puedo perder. Yo no hice más que querer Y mi querer defendí, Tenía que suceder Porque estaba escrito así. Sangre no quise verter Mas no lo pude evitar, Mis manos no has de leer Ya no las puedo mostrar. Yo le dije: “No quiero en tu reja mi sombra arribar”. Pero fue mi palabra en el viento La nota en el aire que vibra y se va. Porque anoche rondaba la sombra Y al hombre rondaba, la fatalidad, No me digas la buenaventura Mi suerte futura, lo mismo me da.
English · machine translation
Don't tell me the good fortune Gypsy, what for, Let life take me Suddenly, to surprises, like yesterday. I am a man who is on the road Who accepts destiny as it wants to be, If I don't mourn what's already happened More than what is lost, I cannot lose. I did nothing but love And I defended my love, It had to happen Because it was written so. I didn't want to shed blood But I could not avoid it, My hands you won't read I can't show them anymore. I told him: "I don't want in your grille my shadow to arrive". But it was my word in the wind The note in the air that vibrates and goes away. Because last night the shadow hovered And the man hovered, the fatality, Don't tell me the good fortune My future fate, it's all the same to me.
