Un mundo raro

A strange world

Cuando te hablen de amor y de ilusiones

When they tell you about love and dreams

y te ofrezcan el sol y el cielo entero,

and they offer you the sun and the whole heaven,

si te acuerdas de mi no me menciones,

if you recall me, don’t mention me,

porque vas a sentir amor del bueno.

because you’ll feel the love of a good guy.

Y si quieren saber de tu pasado

And if they want to know about your past,

es preciso decir una mentira,

it will be necessary to tell a lie,

di que vienes de allá de un mundo raro,

say that you come from a strange world,

que no sabes llorar,

that you don’t know how to mourn,

que no entiendes de amor

that you don’t understand love

y que nunca has amado.

and you have never loved.

Porque yo adonde voy

Because wherever I go

hablaré de tu amor

I will tell of your love

como un sueño dorado

as it were a golden dream,

y olvidando el rencor

and forgetting the bitterness

no diré que tu adiós me volvió desgraciado.

I won’t say that your farewell made me unhappy.

Y si quieren saber de mi pasado

And if they want to know about my past,

es preciso decir otra mentira,

it will be necessary to tell another lie,

les diré que llegue de un mundo raro,

I’ll say that I come from a strange world,

que no sé del dolor,

that I don’t know what’s pain,

que triunfe en el amor

that I triumph in love

y que nunca he llorado.

and that I have never cried.

Y si quieren saber de tu pasado

And if they want to know about your past,

es preciso decir otra mentira,

it will be necessary to tell another lie,

di que vienes de allá de un mundo raro,

say that you come from a strange world,

que no sabes llorar,

that you don’t know how to mourn,

que no entiendes de amor

that you don’t understand love

y que nunca, tú nunca has amado.

and you have never, ever loved.
