Otro Ocupa Mi Lugar



Fui, tu gran amor, tu eco, tu voz
tu amanecer, el compañero de tu ayer
Te di, mi alma y mi hogar
mi juventud, mi soledad
ame tu cuerpo, tu sonrisa
tus defectos, tus caricias

Y ahora
Otro ocupa mi lugar, otro duerme junto a ti
él se lleva lo que ame, sin pensar
que mi camino se acababa
que sin ti no valgo nada

Ahora
Otro ocupa mi lugar, otro calmara tu sed
es difícil olvidar, comprender
que ayer te tuve entre mis manos
y ahora eres de mi hermano

Y quiero huir, quiero llorar
quedarme aquí, echar andar
romperlo todo y empezar
Adiós, te digo adiós
y sin volver, la vista atrás
me iré despacio en la mañana
con la vida destrozada

Mientras
Otro ocupa mi lugar, otro duerme junto a ti
él se lleva lo que ame, sin pensar
que mi camino se acababa
que sin ti no valgo nada

Ahora
Otro ocupa mi lugar, otro calmara tu sed
es difícil olvidar, comprender
que ayer te tuve entre mis manos
y ahora eres de mi hermano

El se lleva lo que ame, sin pensar
que mi camino se acababa
que sin ti no valgo nada

Otro Ocupa Mi Lugar ~ Miguel Gallardo



Fui, tu gran amor, tu eco, tu voz
I was, your great love, your echo, your voice
tu amanecer, el compañero de tu ayer
your dawn, the companion/partner of your yesterday
Te di, mi alma y mi hogar
I gave you my soul and my home
mi juventud, mi soledad
my youth, my solitude
ame tu cuerpo, tu sonrisa
I loved your body, your smile
tus defectos, tus caricias
your flaws, your touch

Y ahora
and now
Otro ocupa mi lugar, otro duerme junto a ti
another takes my place, another is sleeping next to you
él se lleva lo que ame, sin pensar
he takes what I love, without thinking
que mi camino se acababa
that my way is just over
que sin ti no valgo nada
that without you I am worthless

Ahora
now
Otro ocupa mi lugar, otro calmara tu sed
another takes my place, another will calm down your thirst
es difícil olvidar, comprender
is hard to forget, to understand
que ayer te tuve entre mis manos
that yesterday I had you in my hands
y ahora eres de mi hermano
and now you're of my brother

Y quiero huir, quiero llorar
and I want to run, I want to cry/mourn
quedarme aquí, echar andar
stay here, take walk
romperlo todo y empezar
break everything and start (over)
Adiós, te digo adiós
goodbye, I say goodbye
y sin volver, la vista atrás
and without look back
me iré despacio en la mañana
I will go slowly in the morning
con la vida destrozada
with shattered life

Mientras
meanwhile
Otro ocupa mi lugar, otro duerme junto a ti
another takes my place, another is sleeping next to you
él se lleva lo que ame, sin pensar
he takes what I love, without thinking
que mi camino se acababa
that my way is just over
que sin ti no valgo nada
that without you I am worthless

Ahora
now
Otro ocupa mi lugar, otro calmara tu sed
another takes my place, another will calm down your thirst
es difícil olvidar, comprender
is hard to forget, to understand
que ayer te tuve entre mis manos
that yesterday I had you in my hands
y ahora eres de mi hermano
and now you're of my brother

El se lleva lo que ame, sin pensar
he takes what I love, without thinking
que mi camino se acababa
that my way is just over
que sin ti no valgo nada
that without you I am worthless

Dear Zahra 2008

Thanks for your beautiful translation. I'm a beginner in Spanish language and I'm interested in its rich culture. Here I have a question which may appear silly to you but I'm gonna ask it anyway:

In the sentence "y ahora eres de mi hermano", could "hermano" mean anything else than "brother" (like a close friend or something). I ask this question because in some cultures, people call their close friend or fellow citizen a "brother". What is your interpretation of this sentence "y ahora eres de mi hermano", at the end of the day? Does that imaginary girl of the song, for instance has eloped with her lover's brother or could it be a close friend.( in the case of "brother"...well... it seems weird to me, although I know anything is possible!) . Thanks again for your time and help.

Regards

oh ohh ohh Im sorry, I forgot to clarify this part... you are absolutly right, "hermano" could be use it as close friend or fellow citizen ....

and yes, is kindof weird .. but also as you said, anything is possible ... (brothers sharing lovers) ...
