Ya sabía que no llegaría
I already knew it wouldn't arrive
Ya sabía que era una mentira
I already knew it was a lie
¿Cuánto tiempo que por él perdí?
How much time did I waste on him?
¡Qué promesa rota sin cumplir!
What a broken promise left unfulfilled!
Son amores
They are loves
Problemáticos
Problematic
Como tú, como yo
Like you, like me
Es la espera en un teléfono
It's the wait on a phone call
La aventura de lo ilógico
The adventure of the illogical
La locura de lo mágico
The madness of the magical
Un veneno sin antídoto
A poison without an antidote
La amargura
The bitterness
De lo efímero
Of the ephemeral
Porque él
Because he
Se marchó
Left
Amores
Loves
Tan extraños que te hacen cínica
So strange they make you cynical
Te hacen sonreír entre lágrimas
They make you smile through tears
¿Cuántas páginas hipotéticas
How many hypothetical pages
Para no escribir las auténticas?
To avoid writing the real ones?
Son amores que sólo a nuestra edad
They are loves that only at our age
Se confunden en nuestros espíritus
Become intertwined in our spirits
Te interrogan y nunca te dejan ver
They question you and never let you see
Si serán amor o placer
If they are love or pleasure
Y, ¿cuántas noches lloraré por él?
And, how many nights will I cry for him?
¿Cuántas veces volveré a leer
How many times will I read again
Aquellas cartas que yo recibía
Those letters that I used to receive
Cuando mis penas eran alegrías?
When my sorrows were joys?
Son amores
They are loves
Esporádicos
Sporadic
Pero en ti quedarán
But in you there will remain
Amores
Loves
Tan extraños que vienen y se van
So strange that come and go
Que en tu corazón sobrevivirán
That in your heart they will survive
Son historias que siempre contarás
They are stories you'll always tell
Sin saber si son de verdad
Without knowing if they are real
Son amores frágiles (Son amores)
They are fragile loves (They are loves)
Prisioneros, cómplices (Se confunden)
Prisoners, accomplices (They get confused)
Son amores problemáticos (Son amores)
They are problematic loves (They are loves)
Como tú, como yo (Que se esconden de los dos)
Like you, like me (That hide from both)
Son amores frágiles (Son amores, vienen y se van)
They're fragile loves (They come and go)
Prisioneros, cómplices (Siempre contarás)
Prisoners, accomplices (You'll always count on)
Tan extraños que viven negándose
So strange that they live denying themselves
Escondiéndose de los dos
Hiding away from both of us
Ya sabía que no llegaría
I already knew it wouldn't come
Esta vez me lo prometeré
This time I'll promise myself
Tengo ganas de un amor sincero
I long for a sincere love
Ya sin él
Already without him
Uh-uh
Uh-uh
