Translation of the song Cuchillos artist Mercedes Sosa

Hay en este lugar mucho para dar

In this place, there's a lot to give

No te puedo mentir porque sos tan fiel

I can't lie to you because you're so faithful

Me viste crecer, me viste nacer

You saw me grow, you saw me get born

Y yo te vi reír

And I saw you laugh.

Cuando el cristal

When the crystal

Se apague en el mar, verás

Goes dark in the sea, you will see

Que toda esta canción es alegría

That this whole song is joy

Y hoy, hoy,

And today, today

Hoy tal como ayer desaparecer

Today like yesterday disappearing

Es como sonreír

Is like smiling.

De tanto darte amor me hice feliz

Fron giving you so much love I made myself happy

Cortando el aire solo hasta sentir

Cutting the air only until feeling

Que no había perdón

That there was no forgiveness

Que no había razón

That there was no reason

Ya no puedo morir

That I cannot die

Esa navaja gris

That grey penknife

Te cortó la voz

Cut your voice

Se hizo cuchillo al fin

It finally became a knife.
