lyrics

No sufras tanto, mi amor
Nunca supiste cuidar el dolor
Por tu hermano, tu amigo y tu patria
Por todo, te duele
Y por todo te culpas
No, mi amor

Ojos que me hacias
Nuestro amor te hizo
Olvidar tus penas
Solo por un momento

Agarra a tu pasado
Es un tigre feroz
No existe jaula
Que detanga su voz
Mientras que duermes
Te va a cantar
Despiertas llorando
Sin saber por que

//
The Tiger

My love, don’t suffer so
You never learned
to tend this sorrow
for your brother,
your friend,
your homeland
You grieve so,
blaming yourself—
Don’t.

You made eyes at me
Our love made you
gorget your sorrow
but only for a moment
Grab hold of your past
It is a ferocious tiger
There is no cage
which can detain its voice
While you sleep
it will sing to you
And you’ll wake crying
without knowing why

--
Erin – vocal and nylon-string guitar
