Como ya te vas
As you’re leaving now
Déjame tu sombra
Leave me your shadow
Y para escucharte
And to hear you
Deja tus palabras
Leave your words
Préstame un "te quiero"
Lend me a 'I love you'
Yo te lo devuelvo
I’ll give it back to you
Quiero alucinar
I want to lose myself
Cuando ya estés lejos
When you’re far away
Como ya te vas
As you’re leaving now
Te lloran las flores
The flowers weep for you
Llora mi guitarra
My guitar cries
Sangran mis canciones
My songs bleed
Y me dueles tanto
And you hurt me so much
Pierdo la cabeza
I lose my mind
Me vuelves a armar
You put me back together again
Y luego me quiebras
And then you break me
Te quedas tatuada a mi cuerpo
You stay tattooed on my body
Tus besos sellando mis labios
Your kisses sealing my lips
Busco y no encuentro a Cupido
I search and can't find Cupid
Que venga a salvarnos
Let him come to save us
Es una trampa del destino
It's a trap of destiny
Adiós, es lanzarme al vacío
Goodbye, it's diving into the void
Como quisiera escuchar
Oh, how I wish to hear
Que tú sientes lo mismo, oh
That you feel the same, oh
Como ya no estas
Since you're no longer here
Hay una quimera
There's a chimera
Por todas las tardes
Through all the afternoons
De esta primavera
Of this springtime
Voy sobreviviendo
I'm surviving
Con lo que dejaste
With what you left behind
Por si tú regresas
In case you return
Vivir para amarte, eh, eh, eh
To live to love you, eh, eh, eh
