| wo friends they always were and knew they’d ever be,
| wo amigos que siempre fueron y sabían que alguna vez serían,

| built an empire side by side.
| construyeron un imperio uno al lado del otro.
|
| Their trust complete, they were as one identity,
| Su confianza completa, eran como una sola identidad,
|
| beyond the bounds of greed or pride…
| más allá de los límites de la codicia o el orgullo...
|
| Then a young woman, just a slave, caught Ibrahim’s eye,
| Entonces una mujer joven, solo una esclava, llamó la atención de Ibrahim,
|
| And he asked her for her name;
| Y él le preguntó por su nombre;
|
| She came forward, she sat down, began to cry,
| Se adelantó, se sentó, empezó a llorar,
|
| raised her eyes to him,
| alzó los ojos hacia él,
|
| raised her voice to sing, singin'
| levantó la voz para cantar, cantar
|
| I was born to please you,
| nací para complacerte,
|
| I was born to rule,
| nací para gobernar,
|
| to be free,
| ser libre,
|
| turn the empire’s destiny…
| cambiar el destino del imperio...
|
| Someday, she’ll be on the throne,
| Algún día, ella estará en el trono,
|
| for Roxelana…
| para Roxelana...
|
| She was presented to the Sultan as a gift,
| Ella fue presentada al sultán como un regalo,
|
| A slave he’d never seen before,
| Un esclavo que nunca había visto antes,
|
| Against all odds they fell in love, and then they lived,
| Contra viento y marea se enamoraron, y luego vivieron,
|
| joined as man and wife-
| unidos como marido y mujer-
|
| she changed their way of life, singin'
| ella cambió su forma de vida, cantando
|
| I was born to please you,
| nací para complacerte,
|
| I was born for love…
| Nací para el amor...
|
| Deep in the night,
| Profundo en la noche,
|
| Sad and lonely, Ibrahim died,
| Triste y solo, Ibrahim murió,
|
| Fighting for his life,
| Luchando por su vida,
|
| Thinking, thinking:
| pensando, pensando:
|
| I was born to please you,
| nací para complacerte,
|
| I was born to love… | Nací para amar... |
