Y yo que, hasta ayer, sólo fui un holgazán
And I who, until yesterday, was just a slacker
Y, hoy, soy el guardián de sus sueños de amor
And today, I am the guardian of her love dreams
La quiero a morir
I love her to death
Podeís destrozar todo aquello que veis
You can smash everything you see
Porque ella, de un soplo, lo vuelve a crear
Because she, with one breath, recreates it all
Como si nada, como si nada
As if it were nothing, as if it were nothing
La quiero a morir
I love her to death
Ella borra las horas de cada reloj
She erases the hours from every clock
Me enseña a pintar transparente el dolor
She teaches me to paint pain in transparent shades
Con su sonrisa
With her smile
Y levanta una torre desde el cielo hasta aquí
And builds a tower from the sky down to here
Y me cose unas alas y me ayuda a subir
And sews me some wings and helps me rise
A toda prisa, a toda prisa
In a hurry, in a hurry
La quiero a morir
I love her to death
Conoce bien, cada guerra
Knows well, every war
Cada herida, cada sed
Every wound, every thirst
Conoce bien, cada guerra
Knows well, every war
De la vida y del amor, también
Of life and love, too
Me dibuja un paisaje y me lo hace vivir
Draws me a landscape and makes me live it
En un bosque de lápiz, se apodera de mí
In a forest of pencils, takes hold of me
La quiero a morir
I love her to death
Y me atrapa en un lazo que no aprieta jamás
And she traps me in a loop that never tightens
Como un hilo de seda que no puedo soltar
Like a thread of silk that I cannot let go
No quiero soltar, no quiero soltar
I don't want to let go, I don't want to let go
La quiero a morir
I love her to death
Cuando trepo a sus ojos me enfrento al mar
When I climb into her eyes, I face the sea
Dos espejos de agua encerrada en cristal
Two mirrors of water trapped in glass
La quiero a morir
I love her to death
Sólo puedo sentarme, sólo puedo charlar
I can only sit down, I can only chat
Sólo puedo enredarme, sólo puedo aceptar
I can only get tangled up, I can only accept
Ser sólo suyo, sólo suyo
To be only hers, only hers
La quiero a morir
I love her to death
Conoce bien, cada guerra
Knows well, every war
Cada herida, cada sed
Every wound, every thirst
Conoce bien, cada guerra
Knows well, every war
De la vida, y del amor, también
Of life, and of love, too
Y yo que, hasta ayer, sólo fui un holgazán
And I who, until yesterday, was just a slacker
Hoy, soy el guardián de sus sueños de amor
Today, I am the guardian of her dreams of love
La quiero a morir
I love her to death
Podéis destrozar todo aquello que veis
You can destroy everything you see
Porque ella, de un soplo, lo vuelve a crear
Because she, with a breath, brings it back to life
Como si nada, como si nada
As if nothing, as if nothing
La quiero a morir
I love her to death
