El rescate English translation

From the main square of any place
Desde la plaza de armas de un lugar cualquiera
I'm writing you a letter so you know
Te escribo una carta para que tú sepas
What you already knew, even if you didn't say it.
Lo que ya sabías, aunque no lo dijeras
I hope it reaches you and that you don't return it.
Espero que llegue a tus manos y que no la devuelvas

Pay the ransom I've indicated below.
Que pagues el rescate que abajo te indico
I can't explain either why I didn't come to you sooner.
Yo tampoco me explico, por qué no acudí antes a ti
But no one can save me, no one knows what you know.
Pero nadie puede salvarme, nadie sabe lo que sabes
And they wouldn't pay my ransom either.
Y tampoco entregarían lo que vale mi rescate

There is no money, no castles, no guarantees, no checkbooks
No hay dinero, ni castillos, ni avales, ni talonarios
There is none in this world, however absurd it may seem.
No hay en este mundo, aunque parezca absurdo
Not even on undiscovered planets, what I ask of you here
Ni en planetas por descubrir, lo que aquí te pido...
And I'm not forcing you to do anything you don't want to do.
Y no te obligo a nada que no quieras
My strength is failing me, my legs won't respond
Las fuerzas me fallan, mis piernas no responden
They know you, but they can't reach you
Te conocen, pero no llegan a ti

That's why I decided on a defense mechanism
Decidí por eso mismo, un mecanismo de defensa
And captive as my soul is, with enough calm
Y presa como está mi alma, con la calma suficiente
and to become stronger, and to face the truth as soon as possible.
y ser más fuerte, y enfrentarme cuanto antes a la verdad
Without a second thought, I accept it, only you can pay the ransom
Sin dudar un segundo, lo asumo, sólo tú puedes pagar el rescate

Give me back the love you took from me
Devuélveme el amor que me arrebataste
Or give it to the undersigned, it's all the same to me.
O entrégaselo, lo mismo me da, al abajo firmante
Well, there isn't one in this world, even though it seems absurd.
Pues no hay en este mundo, aunque parezca absurdo
Not even on undiscovered planets, what I ask of you here
Ni en planetas por descubrir, lo que aquí te pido
And I'm not forcing you to do anything you don't want to do.
Y no te obligo a nada que no quieras
My strength is failing me, my legs won't respond
Las fuerzas me fallan, mis piernas no responden
They know you, but they can't reach you
Te conocen, pero no llegan a ti

And I'm not forcing you to do anything you don't want to do.
Y no te obligo a nada que no quieras
My strength is failing me, my legs won't respond
Las fuerzas me fallan, mis piernas no responden
They know you, but they can't reach you
Te conocen, pero no llegan... a ti...
