Dolor de mi dolor [English translation]

Over the waves of the sea

I sat down to sing my sorrows

I wanted to fly and fly

I wanted to reach the stars

I wanted to reach the sky

and like this, forget my sorrows.

There are sorrows over love,

there is love that is only sorrow,

so strong that the heart

won't break, they're chains

chains that I carry with me

like the sea carries the sand.

Oh love! pain of my pain

pain, how you have wounded me!

oh! thorn of love,

you've gotten in so deep.

Far away, I went so far away in my sad and faithful basket1

I wanted to reach the end, to put a distance in me

so that there's nothing left of me, not even one complaint.

I wanted to return to that edge one more time

there, where I wrote two names in the sand,

there, I left little piece of my life.

Oh love! pain of my pain

pain, how you have wounded me!

oh! thorn of love,

you've gotten in so deep.
