Esta es una herida
This is a wound
De esas que no cierra el tiempo
Of those that time can't heal
Fuimos agua y tierra
We were water and earth
Marinero y mar
Sailor and sea
Pero no
But no
Los paisajes nunca son como uno los soñó
Landscapes never are as one dreamed them
Hasta el cielo pierde su color
Even the sky loses its color
El amor no tiene casa, se nos pasa
Love has no home, it slips away from us
No estamos juntos, ya se escribió el final
We are not together, the ending's already written
Ya nos quisimos, ya lo perdimos todo igual
We loved each other, yet we've lost it all the same
Aunque me aguanto este llanto, es de ciegos negar
Even though I hold back this cry, it's blind to deny
Que tú te ves cansada
That you look tired
Tengámosle respeto
Let's give respect
A este espacio dividido
To this divided space
Ya está decidido
It's already decided
No insistimos más
We won't insist anymore
Porque no
Because no
Los caminos nunca son como uno los planeó
Paths never are as one planned them
El viajar se vuelve agotador
Traveling becomes exhausting
El amor no tiene casa, se nos pasa
Love has no home, it slips away from us
No estamos juntos, ya se escribió el final
We are not together, the ending's already written
Ya nos quisimos, ya lo perdimos todo igual
We loved each other, yet we've lost it all the same
Aunque me aguanto este llanto, es de ciegos negar
Even though I hold back this cry, it's blind to deny
Que tú te ves cansada
That you look tired
Llóralo
Cry it out
Suelta tu tristeza en este abrazo, llóralo
Release your sadness in this embrace, cry it out
Este paso lo daremos dos
This step we'll take together
Cada uno a su manera más sincera
Each in their own most sincere way
No estamos juntos, ya se escribió el final
We are not together, the ending's already written
Ya nos quisimos, ya lo perdimos todo igual
We loved each other, yet we've lost it all the same
Aunque me aguanto este llanto, es de ciegos negar
Even though I hold back this cry, it's blind to deny
Que tú te ves cansada
That you look tired
