Eh
Tanto que me equivoqué
So much that I was wrong
Pa'l amor no hay una escuela, no
For love, there isn't a school, no
Cuánto tiempo yo pasé
How much time I spent
Viviendo en una novela, que no
Living in a novel, that wasn't true
Yo no fui el que la escribió
I wasn't the one who wrote it
Pero fui el que la vivió
But I was the one who lived it
Y tuvo que ser así
And it had to be this way
Porque fue en ese momento
Because it was in that moment
En el que yo a ti te conocí
When I met you
Navegaba contra el viento y pasó
I was sailing against the wind and it happened
Así nuestra historia empezó, empezó
That's how our story began, began
Cuando llegaste tú
When you arrived
El mundo, apagado, y yo vi una luz
The world was dimmed, and I saw a light
¿Cómo me quedo callado
How can I stay silent
Si al fin te tengo a mi lado?
If I finally have you by my side?
Me tuvo que doler
It had to hurt me
Tuve que ir, tuve que volver
I had to go, I had to return
Perderlo todo y perderme a mí
Lose everything and lose myself
Para encontrarte a ti
To find you
Y tuvo que llover
And it had to rain
Pa que la rosa vuelva a crecer
So the rose could grow again
Valió la pena perderme a mí
It was worth losing myself
Para encontrarte a ti
To find you
Septiembre, aniversario, yo te vi, mi corazón lo entendió
September, anniversary, I saw you, my heart understood
Y ahora te quiero a diario, un 20 nuestra vida cambió
And now I love you daily, on the 20th our lives changed
No te cambio por nada y me enamoro a diario
I wouldn't trade you for anything and I fall in love every day
Porque el abecedario se acabó por escribirte, baby, cada canción
Because the alphabet ran out to write you, baby, each song
Cada beso, cada verso, cada conversación
Each kiss, each verse, each conversation
Gracias, vida, Andalucía me devolvió el amor
Thank you, life, Andalusia returned love to me
Pero gracias, dolor, porque, sin saberlo, nos hizo un favor
But thank you, pain, because, unknowingly, you did us a favor
Cuando llegaste tú
When you arrived
El mundo, apagado, y yo vi una luz
The world was dimmed, and I saw a light
¿Cómo me quedo callado
How can I stay silent
Si al fin te tengo a mi lado?, eh
If I finally have you by my side?, eh
Me tuvo que doler
It had to hurt me
Tuve que ir, tuve que volver
I had to go, I had to return
Perderlo todo y perderme a mí
Lose everything and lose myself
Para encontrarte a ti
To find you
Y tuvo que llover
And it had to rain
Pa que la rosa vuelva a crecer
So the rose could grow again
Valió la pena perderme a mí
It was worth losing myself
Para encontrar
To find
Para yo encontrarte a ti
To find you
A ti
You
Valió la pena perder
It was worth the loss
Para poderte querer
To be able to love you
A ti
You
