Hombre Solitario

• By: Los Doltons

Lyrics:

[Español]

[English]

Mi soledad es el retrato del mundo

My loneliness is a portrait of the world

Donde vivimos, sin comprensión

Where we live, without understanding

Cuando ella vino hacia mi yo pensé

When she came to me, I thought

Que me amaba, más no fue así

That she loved me, but that wasn't the case

La gente piensa que amar es un juego

People think love is a game

Tal vez así ellos son muy felices

Maybe that's why they're so happy

Más no pienso así

But I don't think that way

Mejor es quedar, solo y triste al fin

Better to stay alone and sad in the end

Mi sueño fue encontrar un cariño

My dream was to find some affection

A quien querer, hasta el morir

Someone to love, until the end

Saldríamos juntos los dos de la mano

We would go out together, hand in hand

Y que todo el mundo, nos vea querer

And everyone would see us love

La gente piensa que amar es un juego

People think love is a game

Tal vez así ellos son muy felices

Maybe that's why they're so happy

Más no pienso así

But I don't think that way

Mejor es quedar, solo y triste al fin

Better to stay alone and sad in the end

...

...

La gente piensa que amar es un juego

People think love is a game

Tal vez así ellos son muy felices

Maybe that's why they're so happy

Más no pienso así

But I don't think that way

Mejor es quedar, solo y triste al fin

Better to stay alone and sad in the end

Solo triste al fin

Just sad in the end

...

...
