Lyrics
Español
Me sorprendí cuando te hallé como un dolor, sin palabras, la voz mareada de copas se me anudó en la garganta. Quise gritar, pero pa' qué si al fin yo estoy igual. Sueños que gastamos conversando cuando nos hablábamos de amor. Horas que ya están en el olvido, sensación de haber perdido la esperanza en el adiós. Rabia de sabernos tan cambiados, miedo de gritar esta verdad. Somos dos fracasos que se amaron y partieron y olvidaron y hoy se miran asombrados de morder la realidad. Vuelve otra vez a tu rincón que yo me voy con los años. Ya llueve plata en mis sienes y hay un dolor en tus manos. Pa' qué llorar todo el ayer si ya no puede ser.
English · machine translation
I was surprised when I found you like a pain, without words, my voice dizzy with drinks knotted in my throat. I wanted to scream, but what's the use if at last I'm the same. Dreams that we spend talking when we talked about love. Hours that are already forgotten, feeling of having lost the hope of goodbye. Anger of knowing we are so changed, fear of shouting this truth. We are two failures who loved each other and left and forgot and today they look at each other in amazement of biting reality. Come back again to your corner I'm leaving with the years. It's already raining silver on my temples and there is a pain in your hands. Why cry all of yesterday if it can't be anymore.
