Corrió descalzo a media noche mi corazón
My heart ran barefoot at midnight
Fue tras de ti me sabotea por diversión
It chased after you, sabotaging me for fun
Nunca aprendió a soltar
It never learned to let go
No no (mm)
Escucha voces, habla solo, me pone mal
Hears voices, talks alone, it drives me crazy
Volví a soñar contigo no cambia de ganar
I dreamt of you again, it doesn't change to win
No quiere reaccionar
It doesn't want to react
No-ou
Sonando así, me equivoqué
Sounding like this, I was wrong
Si te perdí, ven explícame
If I lost you, come explain it to me
Que es tan ridículo este amor
That this love is so ridiculous
Un accidente y un error
An accident and a mistake
Que el tiempo se nos adelantó
That time got ahead of us
Uh, explícame
Uh, explain it to me
Que sin pescarte, con tu adiós
That without catching you, with your goodbye
Tiré la cuerda y se rompió
I pulled the rope and it broke
Que no hay espacio para los dos
That there's no room for the two of us
Uh, explícame
Uh, explain it to me
Explícame
Explain it to me
No me dirige la palabra tu corazón
Your heart doesn't speak to me
Sin consultarme me ha borrado de la ecuación
Without consulting me, it erased me from the equation
No se atrevió a soñar
It didn't dare to dream
No-oo-ou-oo
No queda claro que tú sí ya no volverás
It's not clear that you're not coming back
Mi enfermizo inmenso no me ha dejado en paz
My immense illness hasn't left me in peace
No recordé olvidar
I didn't remember to forget
No-no
Sonando así, me equivoqué
Sounding like this, I was wrong
Si te perdí, ven explícame
If I lost you, come explain it to me
Que es tan ridículo este amor
That this love is so ridiculous
Un accidente y un error
An accident and a mistake
Que el tiempo se nos adelantó
That time got ahead of us
Uh explícame
Uh, explain it to me
Que sin pescarte con tu adiós
That without catching you with your goodbye
Tiré la cuerda y se rompió
I pulled the rope and it broke
Que no hay espacio para los dos
That there's no room for the two of us
Oh, explícame
Oh, explain it to me
Oh-uo-uo
Oh-uo-uo
Oh-uo-uo
(¡Come on!)
Que es tan ridículo este amor
That this love is so ridiculous
Un accidente y un error
An accident and a mistake
Que el tiempo se nos adelantó
That time got ahead of us
Uh, explícame
Uh, explain it to me
Que sin descarte con tu adiós
That without discounting with your goodbye
Tiré la cuerda y se rompió
I pulled the rope and it broke
Que no hay espacio para los dos
That there's no room for the two of us
Oh, explícame
Oh, explain it to me
Explícame
Explain it to me
Explícame
Explain it to me
