Cautivo

Cautivo (Captive)

Music: Egidio Pittaluga
Lyrics: Luis Rubistein
Translation: Felipe & Ayano
Recorded by Aníbal Troilo with Francisco Fiorentino in 1941

Nunca podré comprender,
ni lo quiero pensar,
qué hay en tu amor.

Niebla sin fin, pena veloz
que abre los rumbos de mi mal.

Cómo quisiera poder
olvidarte y huir !
No verte más para arrancar
este dolor y no sentir
que he de morir así.

Pero siento que no puedo vivir
sin tus manos,
tus caricias, tu amor
y que soy un prisionero
de tu desamor.

Vieja angustia de saber que no soy
quien tus sueños enredo en un cantar
y sentir que igual te quiero
para mi mal.

(Instrumental)

(Unsung Part)
Y es un tormento este amor
que no puedo matar,
ni amordazar.

Sé que al morir me va a seguir
hasta la tumba tu mirar.

Y cuando intento escapar
de este infierno sin fin,
la voluntad me dice sí,
el corazón me grita no!
y para que luchar?

I will never understand
nor I want to think
what is there in your love.

Endless fog, quick sorrow
that opens the way to my harm

How I would like to be able to
forget you and escape!
Not seeing you anymore so I can rip off
this pain and not feel
that I have to die like this.

But I feel that I cannot live
without your hands,
your caresses, your love
and that I'm a prisoner
of your indifference.

Old anguish of knowing that I'm not
who wrapped your dreams in a song
and to feel that I love you anyway
for my bad/evil.

(Instrumental)

(Unsung part)
And this love is a torment
that I cannot kill,
not to gag.

I know that when I die your gaze
will follow me to the tomb.

And when I try to escape
from this hell, finally,
my will says yes,
my heart cries no!
and what to fight for?
