Tu Camino y el Mío– Lyrics Meaning in English – Vicente Fernández
This song is about a man who is left feeling empty and hopeless after the girl he loved rejected him. His life is dark and melancholic now. He has accepted that their roads are different and he must fulfil his destiny.
Singer: Vicente Fernández
Un montón de recuerdos ingratos
Una carta que no se ha leído
Un retrato tirado en el suelo
Y en mi mano una copa de vino
A lot of ungrateful memories
A letter that hasn’t been read
A portrait thrown to the floor
And in my hand a glass of wine
Eso es todo lo que hay en mi vida
Una vida que no vale nada
Una historia de amores perdida
Porque tú no quisiste ser mía
That’s all there is in my life
A life that’s not worth anything
A lost story of loves
Because you didn’t want to be mine
En mi cielo solo hay nubarrones
Que presagian mil noches sin sueño
Mucho olvido, dolor y traiciones
Y en mis ojos el llanto sincero
In my sky there are only dark clouds
That foreshadow a thousand sleepless nights
Much oblivion, pain and betrayal
And in my eyes the sincere cries
No podré ya seguirte los pasos
Tu camino es más largo que el mío
Tú te vas a buscar otros brazos
Yo me quedo a cumplir mi destino
I won’t be able to follow your footsteps
Your road is longer than mine
You’re going to find other arms
I’ll be left to fulfil my destiny
No abriré para nada tu carta
Ni sabré lo que me hayas escrito
En un marco pondré tu retrato
Y en mi mano otra copa de vino
I won’t open your letter at all
Nor will I know what you’ve written to me
I’ll put your portrait in a frame
And in my hand another glass of wine
En mi cielo solo hay nubarrones
Que presagian mil noches sin sueño
Mucho olvido, dolor y traiciones
Y en mis ojos el llanto sincero
In my sky there are only dark clouds
That foreshadow a thousand sleepless nights
Much oblivion, pain and betrayal
And in my eyes the sincere cries
