Un Mundo Raro (Spanish: "A Strange World") is a song written by the late José Alfredo Jiménez and is one of his greatest songs of all time. In Disney media, it was included in the Spanish-language soundtrack of Coco performed by La Santa Cecilia - though not heard in the film itself.
Lyrics[]
Cuando te hablen de amor y de ilusiones
Y te ofrezcan un Sol y un cielo entero
Si te acuerdas de mí, no me menciones
Porque vas a sentir amor del bueno
Y si quieren saber de tu pasado
Es preciso decir una mentira
Di que vienes de allá, de un mundo raro
Que no sabes llorar, que no entiendes de amor y que nunca has amado
Porque yo a donde voy
Hablaré de tu amor como un sueño dorado
Y olvidando el rencor
No diré que tu adiós me volvió desgraciado
Y si quieren saber de mi pasado
Es preciso decir una mentira
Les diré que llegué de un mundo raro
Que no sé del dolor, que triunfé en el amor y que nunca he llorado
(instrumental)
Porque yo a donde voy
Hablaré de tu amor como un sueño dorado
Y olvidando el rencor
No diré que tu adiós me volvió desgraciado
Y si quieren saber de mi pasado
Es preciso decir una mentira
Les diré que llegué de un mundo raro
Que no sé del dolor, que triunfé en el amor y que nunca he llorado
Que no sé del dolor, que triunfé en el amor y que nunca he llorado
When they speak to you of love and of dreams
And they offer the sun and all of heaven,
If you think of me don't mention me
Because if you do, you're going to feel love that was the best kind
And if they want to know about your past,
You might tell a lie
That you come from far away from a strange world
That you don't know how to cry, that you don't understand about love and that you never have loved
For wherever I go
I'll talk about your love
Like a golden dream,
And forgetting the resentment,
I won't say that your goodbye brought me misery
And if they want to know about my past
I might also tell another lie
I might tell them came from a strange world,
That I don't know about pain that I've triumphed in love and that I've never cried
(instrumental)
For wherever I go
I'll talk about your love
Like a golden dream,
And forgetting the resentment,
I won't say that your goodbye brought me misery
And if they want to know about my past
I might also tell another lie
I might tell them came from a strange world,
That I don't know about pain that I've triumphed in love and that I've never cried
That I don't know about pain that I've triumphed in love and that I've never cried
