There you go. Thanks to Špela.
Ya basta llorar
mi vida alindar
no te quiero ver sufrir
con tristeza y dolor
En tus ojos puedo ver
la fe de tu vida
es algo que yo te di
mi destino de abril
El destino de abril
se confiesa en mi
es justo recibir
un destino igual
Soy la luz de tu oda
cuando llega la noche
y siento tu dolor
cuando no puedes mas
Yo doy de mi amor
si te hace falta
soy fiel de tu vivir
mi destino de abril
El destino de abril
se confiesa en mi
es justo recibir
destino igual
con la voz que la …
doy todo lo bueno
es justo recibir
el destino de abril
En tus horas de sueno
cuando el mundo esta quieto
yo guardo tu honor
y tu vida al igual
Y si algun dia te encuentro
en la eternidad
los angeles cantaran
el destino de abril
El destino de abril
se confiesa en mi
es justo recibir
destino igual
con la voz que la … dio
te doy todo lo bueno
es justo recibir
el destino de abril
El destino de abril
se confiesa en mi
es justo recibir
destino igual…

Thank you so much for posting this! I too have been searching the internet for the lyrics to this song. I fell in love with this song immediately upon hearing it at the end of the movie “Collateral”! (It was the best part of the movie, IMO… I rewound the song several times!) 🙂 I will be looking for more music from The Green Car Motel/Act of Faith!
Thanx a bunch, I fell in love with the song too at the end of the movie. I have been searching allover the place. Thanx 🙂
I think smth is wrong
there’s no such a word “alindar” 🙁
mi vida –>my life
alindar–>nada
and yes, this song is absolutely amazing!!!!
Now, if only someone could tell me where to find guitar tabs to the terrific song!
does anyone know the english transaltion to this song. Its awesome as it is but i’d like to know. thanks
Dude, you rock for posting these lyrics. As everyone else has been, I have been searching everywhere for these lyrics! so in other words, thank you! — I second (third? fourth?) the motion that this song is terrific beyond all belief.
– mark the music.
“Alindar” means “to set boundaries” or “to be continuous” ” to carry on” No real equivalent in English I guess
This was provide by a friend so I take no credit.
Ya basta llorar Stop crying already
mi vida alindar to mark out my life
no te quiero ver sufrir I don’t want to see you suffer
con tristeza y dolor With sadness and pain
En tus ojos puedo ver In your eyes I can see
la fe de tu vida the faith of your life
es algo que yo te di is something I gave you
mi destino de abril my April destiny
El destino de abril The April destiny

es justo recibir it is fair to get

Soy la luz de tu oda I am the light of your hate

cuando no puedes mas when you no longer can
Yo doy de mi amor I give from my love
si te hace falta if you need it
soy fiel de tu vivir I am faithful to your life
mi destino de abril my April destiny
El destino de abril The April destiny
se confiesa en mi confesses in me

Sorry, there was supposed to be a space between the spanish and english.
Oh well, you can cut and paste then separate yourselves.
Cheers!
Thanks for the translation thumpz.
I fixed the Thumpz first comment, so it`s more readable. Thank you.
Ah, thanks Domen!
Muchos Gracias
i love this song! thank you so much, now i can finally sing along!
Alindar means to put more beatiful something in this case he said ”alindar” beacuse he goes to stop putting more beatiful himself or his life..
This was by far the best song in 2004. Second would be “Shadow of the Sun” (also in Collateral, the best movie of 2004.) I bought the soundtrack and listened to the song at least 100 times. Now i finally understand what i’m singing.
Oda does not mean hate, ( Odio means hate) I think, maybe they meant to say…… I am the lite of your life when the night comes.
oda means a poetic composition from a lyric genre divide in same parts
Someone asked about the guitar tabs.
Dm/Am then Am/F/Am/E/Am
Ciao, Amigos
Thanks for the words to ‘Destino De Abril”.
Great!
Thanks a lot.
This song is almost too good to be real.
Can’t thank you enough for the lyrics….this song for some reason has been haunting my waking and sleeping hours…LOVE IT!!
Hey ppl. SECONDING all the rest of the posters thanking you for posting these. I also wanna send lots of love from Athens, Greece to the chord guy Max/Vincent schizo. 😀 I just saw the movie, with a friend a my then mother. She loved it even more than we did.

That the intro tab im pretty sure thats it, it my first tab ever, so if its messed up please tell me, other than that rock on that song is the best! 🙂
oh and more thing if u have any questions or comments visit my myspace.com, http://www.myspace.com/maverick1011
i also realized that the tab doesnt line up so i think if you copy and paste it onto notepad and have the bars line up it should be more readable
At long last! Thanks for the lyrics and the translation. I keep listening to Collateral & The Insider soundtracks while working. Michael Mann has a gift for blending great music with superb stories and cinematography.
A friend of mine added a bit to the missing lyric and he changed the translation a tiny bit.

The intro in English:
It is already enough that I will cry
the rest of my life
I do not want to see to you suffer
with sadness and pain
Soy la luz de tu oda …
I am the light when the dark
of the night arrives
I can feel your pain
when you no longer can
this song is pretty deep. my interpretation of the meaning of it is that the April Destiny is death (our final end), and that it’s only justifified and fair that we all have the same destiny. The person singing has already passed on (a ghost), and is telling a loved one not to cry and suffer, ya vasta de loodar mi vida linda (don’t cry my beautiful darling) . it’s only only justified and fair that we all receive the same destiny. pretty sad song, but the singer(ghost) is consoling and comforting those that mourn him/her. if i ever find you in eternity, the angels will sing, the april destiny. anyway, the guitar tabs would be great if anybody has them. thanks for posting the translation.
I’m gonna go eat pollo con arroz!
In one way it’s a shame that the song isn’t in English because as a result it didn’t quite get the same attention or airplay it deserved but the Spanish tongue makes this song stunning and it wouldn’t be the same translated. I myself speak Spanish so I could make out the vast majority of the lyrics but actually being able to read them on a page fills in the gaps that I had…and it seems even more beautiful now.
When I lived in Madrid I used to only hear cheesy Spanish pop tunes in clubs and on the radio and I never felt I could be moved and feel so passionately about a song in Castellano after that! ; ) But this song really changed all of that for me and has inspired me to seek out similar tracks…
This is as good as any contemporary track you’d hear from a U2 or a R.E.M. and the Spanish equivilents (are there any???) rarely get the opportunity in predominately English speaking countries to be noticed.
Strange how so many South American and Spanish mates of mine think nothing of buying English music, going to the concerts and singing their hearts out the same as we do and yet they don’t even understand what’s being sung, yet I could count with one hand how many native English speaking mates I know that have albums by artists in other languages from their own (apart from Opera music, which has strangly been exempt from the norm…)
Is it because songs like ‘El Destino De Abril’ is the exception and most Latin tracks are dreadful or is there a whole world of great undiscovered talent out there that I’ve yet to hear…
Ian,
P.S. ‘Collateral’ was a magical movie, far too under-rated…the nightclub scene when T.Cruise shoots the place up is pure MTV/Miami Vice (what a disappointment the movie was, though!) style that M.Mann does better than anyone else…I’m waiting for his next stylish thriller!
Oh, in my previous post when I say the movie was a ‘disappointment’, I am of course talking about ‘Miami Vice’ and not, of course, ‘Collateral’…Tom Cruise at his best…shame he’s, eh…so wierd lately…such a great actor.
Ian
I just found it and just want to say thank u for posting the lyrics. Mad props to Tue writer rest in peace.
