Otra vez el duelo
Once again the duel
La daga se nos hunde en el pecho
The dagger sinks deep in our chest
Sabes que el daño ya está hecho
You know the damage has been done
Y lo dejaremos pasar
And we'll let it pass
Y que lo que trae el viento
And what the wind brings
Se lo llevará consigo el tiempo
Time will take it with him
Pero se marchitan los cimientos
But the foundations are wilting
No van a saber soportar
They won't be able to withstand
Déjalo ya
Just let it go now
No es sano esto que viene y va
This back and forth isn't healthy
Hay que cortar el ay, ay, ay
We need to cut the oh, oh, oh
El ay, ay, ay
The oh, oh, oh
El hábito
The habit
Repetimos la historia
We repeat the story
Como si se nos borró la memoria
As if our memory was erased
Es un ay, ay, ay
It's an oh, oh, oh
Un ay, ay, ay
An oh, oh, oh
Un hábito
A habit
Un hábito
A habit
Y es que discutimos
And it's that we argue
Por eso que algún día decidimos
That's why one day we decided
Pero si en verdad lo decidimos
But if we truly decided
No iríamos al mismo lugar
We wouldn't end up in the same place
Tú te quedas mudo
You're left speechless
Yo en la garganta tengo un nudo
I have a knot in my throat
Llorar es medicina pero dudo
Crying is medicine, but I doubt
Que cure el origen del mal
That it heals the root of the evil
Déjalo ya
Just let it go now
No es sano esto que viene y va
This back and forth isn't healthy
Hay que cortar el ay, ay, ay
We need to cut the oh, oh, oh
El ay, ay, ay
Oh, oh, oh
El hábito
The habit
Repetimos la historia
We repeat the story
Como si se nos borró la memoria
As if our memories were erased
Es un ay, ay, ay
It's an oh, oh, oh
Un ay, ay, ay
An oh, oh, oh
Un hábito
A habit
Un hábito
A habit
Un hábito
A habit
Un ay, ay, ay
An oh, oh, oh
Un ay, ay, ay
Oh, oh, oh
Un hábito
A habit
Un hábito
A habit
