Sobre la cima de su piel
On the peak of her skin
Hay un ave sin alas
There's a bird without wings
Que me gritaba con su voz
That screamed to me with its voice
De amor ilusionada
In love, so hopeful
Dijo, "No siempre he sido así
It said, 'I haven't always been this way
Al cielo yo podía ir
I could fly to the sky
Un día mi alma se apago
One day my soul went out
Y así perdí mis alas"
And that's how I lost my wings'
Mis besos le hacen sonreír
My kisses make her smile
Le alzan todas las ganas
They lift all her desires
De ir a buscar de nuevo el sol
To go find the sun again
Aunque allí se quemara
Even if it burns there
No te preocupes tu por mi
Don't worry about me
Me dijo, "No pienses así
He told me, 'Don't think that way'
Mis sueños salen a volar
My dreams take to the skies
Aunque no tengan alas"
Even though they have no wings'
Contándome su historia vi
Telling me his story, I saw
En sus ojos la llama
In his eyes, the flame
De que no temía al por venir
That he wasn't afraid of what’s to come
Aunque no tenga nada
Even if he has nothing
Me ha hecho tanto descubrir
It's made me discover so much
De otro color la vida ver
To see life in a different hue
Si se quedara junto ami
If she stayed close to me
Yo le daría mis alas
I would give her my wings
Quise darle mi alma
I wanted to give her my soul
Toda de una vez
All at once
Quiso ir con calma
She wanted to take it slow
Definiéndome, definiéndose
Defining myself, defining herself
Yo se que un poco la ofendí
I know I offended her a bit
Al declarar mis ansias
By declaring my longings
Quise atraparla y sin querer
I wanted to catch her and unintentionally
También corte sus alas
I also cut her wings
Me dijo déjame sentir
She told me, let me feel
El tiempo es solo una obsesión
Time is just an obsession
Si corres tanto en el amor
If you run so fast in love
Te quedaras sin alas, sin alas
You'll be left without wings, without wings
Me dijo déjame sentir el
She told me, let me feel the
El tiempo es solo una obsesión
Time is just an obsession
Si corres tanto en el amor
If you run so fast in love
Te quedaras sin alas
You'll be left without wings
Ave sin alas, sin alas
Bird without wings, without wings
Me dijo déjame sentir
It told me, let me feel
El el tiempo es solo una obsesión
Time is just an obsession
Si corres tanto en el amor
If you run so fast in love
Te quedaras sin alas
You'll be left without wings
