Translation of the song Le di a la caza alcance artist Estrella Morente

Para que yo alcance diese

For me to be able to get

a aqueste lance divino

this divine chance

tanto volar me convino

flying so much became convenient to me

que de vista me perdiese

so that I was out of sight

y con todo en este trance

and even with all this trance

en el vuelo quedé falto

in flight I got short

más el amor fue tan alto

yet love was so high

que le di a la caza alcance

that I got the game.

Cuanto más alto subía

The higher I was rising

deslumbróseme la vista

my sight got dazzled

y la más fuerte conquista

and the strongest conquest

en oscuro se hacía

was done in darkness

más por ser de amor el lance

yet for being a love chance

di un ciego oscuro salto

I did a blind dark leap

y fui tan alto tan alto

and I went so high so high

que le di a la caza alcance.

that I got the game.

Cuanto más alto llegaba

The higher I was reaching

este lance tan subido

this chance so elevated

tanto más baja y rendida

so lower and surrendered

y abatida yo me hallaba

and weary I found myself

dije no habrá quien me alcance

I said: 'there would be no one who could reach me'

y abatime tanto y tanto

and I wore so much and so much

que fui tan alto tan alto

and I went so high so high

que le di a la caza alcance

that I got the game.

Por una extraña manera

By a strange way

mil vuelos pasé de un vuelo

a thousand flights I did on a fly

porque esperanza de cielo

because in hopes of a heaven

tanto alcanza cuanto espera

so much it reaches as it waits

esperé sola este lance

I wait alone this chance

y en esperar no fui falto

and in waiting I didn't go high

pues fui tan alto tan alto

because I went so high so high

que le di a la caza alcance

that I got the game.
