José Feliciano - La Copa Rota
Aturdido y abrumado, por la duda de los celos
se ve triste en la cantina a un bohemio ya sin fe,
con los nervios destrozados y llorando sin remedio,
como un loco atormentado por la ingrata que se fue.
Se ve siempre acompaado del mejor de los amigos
que le acompaa y le dice, ya esta bueno de licor,
nada remedia con llanto, nada remedia con vino,
al contrario la recuerda mucho ms tu corazn.
Una noche como un loco mordi la copa de vino
y le hizo un cortante filo que su boca destroz,
y la sangre que brotaba, confundiose con el vino,José Feliciano - La Copa Rota - http://motolyrics.com/jose-feliciano/la-copa-rota-lyrics-english-translation.html
y en la cantina este grito a todos estremeci;
Mozo... sirvame la copa rota, sirvame que me destroza
esta fiebre de obsecin
Mozo... sirvame la copa rota,
quiero sangrar gota a gota
el veneno de su amor
Mozo... sirvame la copa rota, sirvame que me destroza
esta fiebre de obsecin
Mozo... sirvame la copa rota,
quiero sangrar gota a gota, ja ja ja,
el veneno de su amor.
José Feliciano - The Broken Goblet (English translation)
Dazed and confused by doubt and jealousy,
A hapless bohemian sits in a gloomy bar.
His nerves are shattered, and he sobs and sobs,
Crazed and tormented by a jilting, unthinking woman.
His best friend, who is always at his side, tells him:
"That's enough liquor now!
Wine won't help; and whining won't help.
Your heart just remembers her all the more!"
Then, one night, he loses his head and bites his goblet,
So hard, that the edge breaks and cuts his lips.
Blood runs with the wine,José Feliciano - La Copa Rota - http://motolyrics.com/jose-feliciano/la-copa-rota-lyrics-english-translation.html
And his cry startles the entire bar.
"Worry not, my friend, that my lips are bleeding.
Don't be afraid, for it's just what I wish:
To erase every trace of her cheating kiss
With the edge of this glass!
"Bartender, serve me the broken goblet!
Pour more, and let my fever obsess me.
Bartender, serve me the broken glass!
I want to shed, drop by drop, all the poison of her love."
[For Diego]
