Extraño lo que nunca fue
I miss what never was
El beso que me imaginé
The kiss I dreamed of
Tu piel que me ha cerrado la frontera
Your skin that closed the border for me
Tu boca nunca despertó
Your lips never woke up
Tu amor no me reconoció
Your love did not recognize me
Caímos como estrellas de madera
We fell like wooden stars
Y te busco en cada espacio, en cada esquina de la soledad
And I search for you in every space, in every corner of loneliness
Espera
Wait
Que no podré sobrevivir
For I won't be able to survive
Espera
Wait
Que no estoy listo para renunciar a ti
I'm not ready to give up on you
Espera
Wait
Que se encendió mi corazón
For my heart has ignited
Espera
Wait
Mis sueños rotos corren en tu dirección
My broken dreams run in your direction
Sin ti las noches me disparan a traición
Without you, the nights shoot me in betrayal
Espera
Wait
Perdóname si te fallé
Forgive me if I let you down
Si por amarte te asfixié
If by loving you, I suffocated you
Mis brazos no intentaban ser cadenas
My arms weren't trying to be chains
Tu nombre no me deja en paz
Your name won't leave me in peace
No hay forma de volver atrás
There's no way to turn back now
Y darle vuelta a este reloj de arena
And turn this hourglass around
Y me pierdo en cada espacio y cada esquina de la soledad
And I get lost in every space and every corner of loneliness
Espera
Wait
Que no podré sobrevivir
For I won't be able to survive
Espera
Wait
Que no estoy listo para renunciar a ti
For I'm not ready to give you up
Espera
Wait
Que se encendió mi corazón
For my heart has ignited
Espera
Wait
Mis sueños rotos corren en tu dirección
My broken dreams run in your direction
Sin ti las noches me disparan a traición
Without you the nights shoot me in betrayal
Espera
Wait
(Espera, no podré sobrevivir) Si no estas junto a mí
(Wait, I won't be able to survive) If you're not by my side
¿Cómo tú esperas que yo sin ti pueda vivir así? (espera)
How do you expect me to live like this without you? (wait)
(Espera, espera no podré sobrevivir)
(Wait, wait I won't be able to survive)
Mi corazón sin dirección
My heart without direction
Sin tu calor, ¡ay!, no puede sobrevivir (espera)
Without your warmth, oh, it can't survive (wait)
(Espera, espera, espera)
(Wait, wait, wait)
(Espera)
(Wait)
(Espera)
(Wait)
(Espera)
(Wait)
(Espera)
(Wait)
(Espera)
(Wait)
(Espera)
(Wait)
(Espera)
(Wait)
Espera
Wait
