Falso Amor (Bachata) Lyrics English Translation by Trueke
Today, I come to tell you a story with an unknown ending (With an unknown ending)
And even though it may not seem like it, this tale has nothing to do with me
Sailed from port to port
And in the open sea, a mermaid began to sing to him
Inexperienced lover, he believed the tales
Out of boredom, out of necessity
Woman, don’t turn me into glass
We’ll sail together someday
On the surface or beneath the sea
She cried and repeated to him (Tell him, boy!)
Lies sound better when they come from your mouth
And though I want to avoid it, the sea always ends up crashing on the rocks
Where I fell in love, where I fell in love with you
Since that day, my course is your shadow
That’s why I got lost
I forced myself to give an end to this story
That I will never forget
Gentlemen of the court, it was her fault, not mine
She’ll swear she’s innocent, that she doesn’t remember that day
Where she committed the crime of aiming at me in cold blood
Face to face I have you, I dare and I tell you:
“I don’t beg you to love me, you don’t have that gift”
A gift to tell lies and deceive my heart
Because of your wounds, you’ve painted a false love for me
I’ve never asked you for a favor
I only ask you to—
Woman, don’t turn me into glass
We’ll sail together someday
On the surface or beneath the sea
She cried and repeated to him
Lies sound better when they come from your mouth (Ay, ay, ay)
And though I want to avoid it, the sea always ends up crashing on the rocks
Where I fell in love, where I fell in love with you
Since that day, my course is your shadow
That’s why I got lost
I forced myself to give an end to this story
That I will never forget
And the sailor, drunk but in love
Came to the conclusion
That there’s no pain that lasts a thousand years
And even less a heart that can endure it, El Niño (Trueke!)
