A través de las persianas
Through the blinds
De tu cuarto, de tu alma
Of your room, of your soul
Tú sientes cómo se filtra
You feel how it seeps
La nostalgia
The nostalgia
Cuando cae la noche
When night falls
Sobre ti, sobre tus hombros
Over you, over your shoulders
Tú sabes cómo te duele
You know how it hurts you
Estar aquí
To be here
Sin embargo
Nevertheless
Ella está a tu lado
She is by your side
Un po' fría se volvió
A little cold it's become
Pero tú la estás amando
But you are loving her
A través de las persianas
Through the blinds
De tu mente, de tus recuerdos
Of your mind, of your memories
Tú sientes cómo te oprimen
You feel how they squeeze you
Esos sentimientos
Those feelings
Cuando cae el remordimiento
When remorse falls
Sobre ti, sobre tus manos
Upon you, upon your hands
Tú sabes como te duele
You know how it hurts you
Haberlo hecho
To have done it
Sin embargo
However
Ella está a tu lado
She is by your side
Nunca solo te dejó
She never left you alone
Ni por un instante
Not for a single moment
En tu cuarto
In your room
Desde que tú la hiciste sufrir
Since you made her suffer
Por su cuello, tú la hiciste morir
By her neck, you made her die
Y no pudo nada ya decir
And she could say nothing anymore
(Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah, ja)
(Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah, ja)
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh, jua
Oh oh oh oh oh, jua
