Hay en este lugar
There's so much in this place
Mucho para dar
Much to give
No te puedo mentir, no
I can't lie to you, no
Porque sos tan fiel
Because you're so faithful
Me viste crecer, me viste correr
You saw me grow, you saw me run
Y yo te vi reír
And I saw you laugh
Cuando el cristal
When the glass
Se caiga en el mar, verás
Falls into the sea, you'll see
Que toda esta canción es agonía, eh
That all this song is agony, eh
Es, hoy tal como ayer
It's, today just like yesterday
Desaparecer
Disappear
Es como sonreír
It's like smiling
De tanto darte amor, te hice feliz
By giving you so much love, I made you happy
Cortando el aire solo con sentir
Cutting through the air just by feeling
Que no había perdón
That there was no forgiveness
Que no había presión
That there was no pressure
Eh, eh
Eh, eh
Esa navaja gris, ¡eh!
That gray knife, hey!
Me cortó la voz
It cut off my voice
Se hizo cuchillo al fin
It became a knife in the end
