Yo quería ser mejor
I wanted to be better
Te prometo, nunca estuvo en mis planes arruinarlo
I promise you, it was never in my plans to ruin it
Me duele este dos de mayo
This second of May hurts me
Respirando en el desastre
Breathing in the disaster
Qué cruel radiografía
What a cruel X-ray
En lo cotidiano, catástrofe es nuestro lugar
In the everyday, catastrophe is our place
Y entonces, mientras me hago la dormida
And then, while I pretend to be asleep
Mi amor, hazme compañía
My love, keep me company
Y subamos un video
And let's upload a video
Tal vez nos resucite de la muerte
Maybe it will bring us back to life
Mi amor, qué melancolía
My love, what melancholy
Ya aguantamos el invierno
We've already endured the winter
Tal vez podamos soportarnos un poco más
Maybe we can tolerate each other a bit longer
Yo tenía un corazón
I had a heart
Te prometo, era nuclear
I promise you, it was nuclear
Aspiraba a lo perfecto
It aimed for perfection
Una vida por los siglos de los huesos
A life for the ages of our bones
Y entonces, mientras paso por tu vida
And then, as I pass through your life
Mi amor, hazme compañía
My love, keep me company
Y subamos un video
And let's upload a video
Tal vez nos resucite de la muerte
Maybe it will resurrect us from death
Mi amor, qué melancolía
My love, what melancholy
Si aguantamos el invierno
If we endure the winter
Tal vez podamos soportarnos un poco más
Maybe we can tolerate each other a bit longer
Mi querido amor, soñé que te perdía
My dear love, I dreamed that I lost you
Intentemos otro invierno
Let's try another winter
Yo te amo por los siglos de los huesos
I love you for the ages of our bones
Mi amor, qué melancolía
My love, what melancholy
En un mundo paralelo
In a parallel world
Tal vez podamos cuidarnos un poco más
Maybe we can take care of each other a bit more
Qué melancolía
What melancholy
