Translation of the song Cenizas(1993) artist Alejandro Fernández
Cenizas(1993)
Ashes (1993)
Cuantas veces tu piel amorosa
How many times the loving all you gave
Yo desperdicie
I frittered away
Y tus besos se hicieron cenizas
And your kisses became ashes
Y yo no te amé
And I didn’t love you
Cuantas veces buscaste el cariño
How many times you searched for the love
Que yo te negué
That I denied you
Y aun así me seguiste queriendo
And still you went on loving me so
Y siéndome fiel
And were faithful to me
Cuantas veces tu dulce mirada
How many times your sweet glance
En llanto volví
Turned into weeping
Y tus lágrimas las escondiste
And you hid your tears
Y nunca las vi
And I never saw them
Tu sonrisa la fui transformando
Your smile was transformed
En tristeza febril
In fevered sadness
Y aun así me seguiste queriendo
And still you went on loving me so
Y siéndome fiel
And were faithful to me
(Estribillo)
(Refrain)
Yo hice cenizas tus ansias
I made ashes of your yearnings
Cuando te entregabas
When you surrendered yourself
Cenizas tu rabia
Ashes of your rage
Cuando te enojabas
When you got angry
Cenizas tus sueños
Ashes of your dreams
Y tus ilusiones
And your illusions
Las hice cenizas
I made them into ashes
Yo hice cenizas tus besos
I made ashes of your kisses
Tus tiernas caricias
Your tender caresses
Cenizas tus días
Ashes of your days
Y tus alegrías
And of your joys
Cenizas tus noches
Ashes of your nights
De ardientes pasiones
Of your ardent passions
Las hice cenizas
I made ashes of them
Las hice cenizas
I made ashes of them
Tan solo cenizas
Only ashes
(Se repite estribillo)
(The refrain is repeated)
