De qué me sirve llorar
What good is it to cry?
OBK

(Música: Jordi Sánchez)
(Music: Jordi Sánchez)
(Letra: Miguel Arjona)
(Lyrics: Miguel Arjona)


Noches enteras sin poder dormir
Whole nights without sleep
buscando razones para no perder
Looking for reasons to not loose
todo lo que te di.
everything I gave to you.
Nunca en la vida pude imaginar
In my whole life I could never ever imagine
que hubiera en el mundo tanta soledad,
That could be so much loneliness in this world,
de que me sirve llorar.
What good is it to cry?

Herido en el alma una vez más por ti
Injured in the soul again for you (Disheartened once again for you)
creí que el destino lo podía cambiar
I thought fate could change it
y el tiempo se me va.
and time slips away.
Tristes momentos para recordar
Sad times to remember
quien tiene la llave de nuestra amistad,
who holds the key of our friendship,
hoy he vuelto a llorar.
Today I cried again.

Cuantas maneras para comprender
How many ways to understand
todo este tiempo que esperé vivir
All this time I looked forward to live
siempre junto a ti.
everytime by your side.
Toda esperanza de poder salvar
Every hope to save
estos seis años de sinceridad
those six years of sincerity
no pueden quedarse aquí.
Can’t end here.


Noches enteras sin poder dormir
Whole nights without sleep
buscando razones para no perder
Looking for reasons to not loose
todo lo que te di.
Everything I gave to you.
Nunca en la vida pude imaginar
In my whole life I could never ever imagine
que hubiera en el mundo tanta soledad,
That could be so much loneliness in this world,
de qué me sirve llorar.
what good is it to cry?.
Jamás ... estás ... de qué me sirve llorar.
You never … are here … what good is it to cry??.

Great job, Fran300!
One suggestion... just the title:

De qué me sirve llorar
"What good is it to cry"

THis is a better translation of the MEANING of the phrase; it's not literal, but it translates the intended meaning.

Also, can you tell me how you do the survey? Fascinating!

Thank you very much, this kind of help is why I love this site, sometimes it's not easy to translate meaning of sentences because here we use a lot of coined phrases or idioms so I should live on there to know all the english equivalences. Thanks for the comentary.

Regarding the poll, every time you do a new entry (new translation) the form asks you if you want to add a poll in a box “Yes, post a poll with this thread” so just check the box. I don’t know if it is possible to add one to an already existent translation. More detail at: http://www.allthelyrics.com/forum/fa...#faq_vb3_polls
