Me Tiraste Al Mar

With affection for Mauricio Ruda and the lovely old Trinidad Echavarría, in Medellín

They said I was a vagabond
So you would leave me
He can't offer you anything
He has nothing

You heeded those words
His thorns were stronger
I could understand your silence
I knew you loved me

And it was you
The one that you threw into the sea without caring
And you never asked if I knew how to swim
And only by shipwrecking could I continue
Calling for a lifeguard to come and look for
To a man who dies without having a reason
That his only sin was giving love
That his only treasure was his heart

I never had fortune, only my nobility
I was never lucky enough to have riches
Only my virtues that made me strong
Only that great affection for people

And it was you
The one that you threw into the sea without caring
And you never asked if I knew how to swim
And only by shipwrecking could I continue
Calling for a lifeguard to come and look for
A man who dies without having a reason
That his only sin was giving love
That his only treasure was his heart
A big heart

Compadre Camilo and his love Rosana Campo
Turui
My soul mates Jaime Poveda and Toño Zuluaga

Life turns and has changes
That one did not expect
In another scene I found you
The script is different

Now if you look straight ahead
Now you can talk to me
Implying that you were wrong
I don't want to listen to you, go away

And tell who
I advise you to thank him for interrupting
The happiness of this lazy man who believed in love
They can't imagine how much I loved you
They can't imagine how much I adored you
And tell them that in my mind there is no resentment
That thanks to fate I found another love
The one who changed my luck without giving conditions

I never had fortune, only my nobility
I was never lucky enough to have riches
Only my virtues that made me strong
Only that great affection for people

And it was you
The one that you threw into the sea without caring
And you never asked if I knew how to swim
And only by shipwrecking could I continue
Calling for a lifeguard to come and look for
To a man who dies without having a reason
That his only sin was giving love
That his only treasure was his heart

And it was you
The one that you threw into the sea without caring
And you never asked if I knew how to swim
And only by shipwrecking could I continue
Calling for a lifeguard to come and look for
To a man who dies without having a reason
That his only sin was giving love
