¿Qué me está pasando? que me pesa el aire
What's happening to me? The air feels heavy
Estoy respirando y se me acaba el día
I'm breathing and the day is slipping away
Sin yo comenzarlo y me sobran horas
Without me even starting it, I have hours to spare
Y me falta tanto para irme llenando
And I'm missing so much to fill me up
El vacío adentro que tú me has dejado
The emptiness inside that you left behind
Lento va quemando, todo ha sido en vano
Slowly it's burning, everything's been in vain
Todo ha sido falso, esto es un mal sueño
Everything's been false, this is a bad dream
Esto es un engaño que tú llamas amor
This is a deception that you call love
Pero el amor es blanco y tú me lo has manchado
But love is pure and you've stained it for me
Es un niño ingenuo que tú has maltratado
It's an innocent child that you've mistreated
Es confiado y libre
He is confident and free
Y ahora vive en prisión
And now he lives in prison
El amor es todo y tú lo has vuelto nada
Love is everything and you've turned it to nothing
Es calor de un beso, no una fría cama
It's the warmth of a kiss, not a cold bed
Es una pareja convertida en uno
It's a couple turned into one
Y tú y yo somos dos
And you and I are two
Ya logré borrarme la última caricia
I've erased the last caress
Ya no siento pena, ya no tengo risa
I no longer feel sorrow, I no longer have laughter
Ando por la calle como programado
I walk down the street like I'm programmed
Tengo fría el alma, estoy desorientado
My soul is cold, I'm disoriented
Ese sentimiento que nos consumía
That feeling that consumed us
Lo has contaminado, todo ha sido en vano
You've tainted it, all has been in vain
Todo ha sido falso, esto es un mal sueño
Everything has been false, this is a bad dream
Esto es un engaño que tú llamas amor
This is a deceit you call love
Pero el amor es blanco y tú me lo has manchado
But love is pure and you've stained it
Es un niño ingenuo que tú has maltratado
It's an innocent child that you've mistreated
Es confiado y libre
It's trusting and free
Y ahora vive en prisión
And now it lives in prison
El amor es todo y tú lo has vuelto nada
Love is everything and you've turned it into nothing
Es calor de un beso, no una fría cama
It's the warmth of a kiss, not a cold bed
Es una pareja convertida en uno
It's a couple turned into one
Y tú y yo somos dos
And you and I are two
Pero el amor es blanco y tú me lo has manchado
But love is pure and you've stained it
Es un niño ingenuo que tú has maltratado
It's an innocent child that you've mistreated
Es confiado y libre
It's trusting and free
Y ahora vive en prisión
And now it lives in prison
El amor es todo y tú lo has vuelto nada
Love is everything and you've turned it into nothing
Es calor de un beso, no una fría cama
It's the warmth of a kiss, not a cold bed
Es una pareja convertida en uno
It's a couple turned into one
Y tú y yo somos dos
And you and I are two
Pero el amor es blanco y tú me lo has manchado
But love is white and you have stained it
Es un niño ingenuo que tú has maltratado
It's an innocent child that you have mistreated
Es confiado y libre
It's trusting and free
Y ahora vive en prisión
And now it lives in prison
