No te lo dije cuando pude
I didn't tell you when I could
Cuando lo hice ya era tarde, eh, eh
When I finally did, it was too late, eh, eh
Hoy que la culpa me consume
Today, guilt consumes me
Sé que fui estúpida y cobarde
I know I was foolish and cowardly
¿Y ahora qué?, ¿qué sigue después?
And now what? What's next?
El sitio es de dos, no hay lugar para tres
The place is for two, there's no room for three
Se abre el suelo y caigo a prisa, arena, arena movediza
The ground opens, and I fall quickly, sand, quicksand
Corro y se hunden mis pies
I run and my feet sink
Es como enterrarme en vida
It's like burying myself alive
El amor con que la miras
The love with which you look at her
Hoy ya no hay nada que hacer
Today there's nothing more to do
Hoy me tocó perder
Today I had to lose
Es tan irónico y absurdo
It's so ironic and absurd
Verla abrazar lo que era mío
To see her embrace what was mine
Porque yo sigo siendo tuya
Because I still belong to you
Pero en tus eso ese brillo no es para mí
But in your eyes that spark isn't for me
¿Qué sigue sin ti?, se rompe mi mundo, me siento morir
What's next without you? My world breaks, I feel like dying
Se abre el suelo y caigo a prisa, arena, arena movediza
The ground opens up and I fall quickly, sand, quicksand
Corro y se hunden mis pies
I run and my feet sink
Es como enterrarme en vida
It's like burying myself alive
El amor con que la miras
The love with which you look at her
Hoy ya no hay nada que hacer
Today there's nothing left to do
Porque volví, pero a destiempo
Because I returned, but at the wrong time
Ya no te importa lo que siento
You no longer care about what I feel
Se abre el suelo y caigo a prisa, arena, arena movediza
The ground opens and I fall quickly, sand, quicksand
Corro y se hunden mis pies
I run and my feet sink
Es como enterrarme en vida
It's like burying myself alive
El amor con que la miras
The love with which you look at her
Hoy ya no hay nada que hacer
Today there's nothing left to do
Se abre el suelo y caigo a prisa, arena, arena movediza
The ground opens and I fall quickly, sand, quicksand
Corro y se hunden mis pies
I run and my feet sink down
Es como enterrarme en vida
It's like burying myself alive
El amor con que la miras
The love with which you look at her
Hoy ya no hay nada que hacer
Today there's nothing left to do
Hoy me tocó perderte
Today it was my turn to lose you
