Translation of the song Pude artist Alejandro Fernández

Spanish

Pude

English translation

I could have

Pude, decir que no eras lo que yo buscaba

I could have said that you weren't what I was looking for

Y que tú solamente me gustabas para pasar el rato y nada más

And that I just wanted to kill my time with you

Pude, pero mi no me gustan las mentiras y preferí decir que te quería

I could have.. But I didn't like lies and I prefered to say that I loved you

Aunque ahora entiendo que debí callar

Now I only know that I should't have said a thing

Pude tomarte solamente como un juego

I could have played you like a toy

Pero me hice ilusiones con tus besos y ahora sólo me toca aceptar

But I was overwhelmed with your kisses and now I need to accept this

Que pude haber sido más maduro o ser más inteligente

I should have been more mature and much smarter

Para darme cuenta a tiempo que tú no ibas a quererme

so that I could understand in time that you wouldn't love me

Y saber que tú conmigo te querías divertir

so that I could know that you only wanted to play with me

O pude haber escondido mis cartas o tal vez sólo mentirte

And I could have played my cards much better or even lie to you

Para que no te asustaras y decirte que tu amor no me importaba

so that you wouldn't get scared. I could have told you that your love didn't matter.

Y es tan claro que tú seguirías aquí

And it's crystal clear that you'd be here

Pude haber dejado las cursilerías para otra relación

I could have left my affection for some other relationship

Pero siempre que me entrego me domina el corazón

But my heart guides me whenever I give myself in

Y por eso aunque pude hoy me quedo sin tu amor

And that's why even tough I could have made it, today I stay without your love
