Mantengo sentimientos que gotean
I hold onto feelings that drip
Ese amor a primera sonrisa
That love at the first smile
Esa envidia a la brisa que te toca el pelo
That envy of the breeze that touches your hair
Fuimos o seremos, ya no importa
We were or we will be, it no longer matters
Lo arruinamos por ser como somos
We ruined it by being who we are
No encontramos un cómo pa amarnos
We couldn't find a way to love each other
Y ahora me siento un vagabundo por el cosmos
And now I feel like a wanderer through the cosmos
Intentando esquivar los desechos
Trying to dodge the remnants
De lo que un día fue un universo
Of what once was a universe
El idioma del beso
The language of the kiss
Pensaste que la vida era más corta
You thought life was shorter
Como para cumplir tu promesa
To keep your promise
De amarnos para siempre
To love each other forever
Cuando me conociste
When you met me
Dijiste querer matarte
You said you wanted to end it all
Porque no se ama al diablo
Because you don't love the devil
Tal vez fue un pecado amarse
Maybe it was a sin to love
Nunca quisiste irte
You never wanted to leave
Bailaste en la Salamanca
You danced in the Salamanca
Fuimos amor temprano
We were young love
Y morimos con pieles blancas
And we died with white skins
El culpable de todo esto es la autoestima
The culprit of all this is self-esteem
Porque no me creí que me amabas
Because I didn't believe that you loved me
Tus pupilas brillaban, no las merecía
Your pupils sparkled, I didn't deserve them
Valoré tus besos cuando no los tuve
I valued your kisses when I didn't have them
Verte bien me golpea el orgullo
Seeing you well strikes my pride
Ya que es mérito tuyo sufrirte
Since it's your own merit to put up with yourself
Eras infeliz y siento culpa en eso
You were unhappy and I feel guilt about that
El silencio tradujo tu rostro
Silence translated your face
Y entendí que el nosotros
And I understood that 'us'
Fue solo el proceso (me voy)
It was just the process (I'm leaving)
Cuando me conociste
When you met me
Dijiste querer matarte
You said you wanted to kill yourself
Porque no se ama al diablo
Because you don’t love the devil
Tal vez fue un pecado amarse
Maybe it was a sin to love each other
Nunca quisiste irte
You never wanted to leave
Bailaste en la Salamanca
You danced in the Salamanca
Fuimos amor temprano
We were love in its early days
Morimos con pieles blancas
We died with white skins
Cuando me conociste
When you met me
Dijiste querer matarte
You said you wanted to die
Porque no se ama al diablo
Because you don't love the devil
Tal vez fue un pecado amarse
Maybe it was a sin to love each other
Nunca quisiste irte
You never wanted to leave
Bailaste en la Salamanca
You danced in Salamanca
Fuimos amor temprano
We were young love
Morimos con pieles blancas
We died with white skin
Pensaste que la vida era más
You thought life was more
