Sé que hay cosas que me digo
I know there are things I tell myself
Que no tienen que pasar
That don’t have to happen
Se despiertan del olvido
They awaken from the oblivion
Vuelven pa' hacerme llorar
Coming back to make me cry
Yo me quedaría contigo
I would stay with you
Una, dos, tres noches más
One, two, three more nights
Si no hubiera roto el hilo
If I hadn't broken the thread
Ojalá, volver atrás
I wish I could turn back time
No te culpo de mi pena
I don't blame you for my sorrow
No te culpo de mi mal
I don't blame you for my pain
Te construiré un castillo
I will build you a castle
Con tu lágrima de sal
With your tear of salt
Te cuidaba como un niño
I cared for you like a child
Que no sabe caminar
Who doesn't know how to walk
Déjame que te proteja
Let me protect you
De lo que pueda pasar
From whatever may happen
Dame paz y dame guerra
Give me peace and give me war
Dame aliento, cuídame
Give me breath, take care of me
Clavelitos en tu pelo
Carnations in your hair
Los tatuajes de tu piel
The tattoos on your skin
Hoy supura y supura
Today it oozes and oozes
Lo que ayer sabía a miel
What tasted like honey yesterday
Yo maldigo a mi cordura
I curse my sanity
Palomita, llévame
Little dove, take me away
Dame paz y dame guerra
Give me peace and give me war
Dame aliento, cuídame
Give me breath, take care of me
Clavelitos en tu pelo
Little carnations in your hair
Los tatuajes de tu piel
The tattoos on your skin
Hoy supura y supura
Today it oozes and oozes
Lo que ayer sabía a miel
What tasted like honey yesterday
Yo maldigo a mi cordura
I curse my sanity
Palomita, llévame
Little dove, take me away
A ti te maldigo y a tus lágrimas de sal
I curse you and your salty tears
A ti maldigo, no me vas a hacer llorar
I curse you, you won't make me cry
A ti te maldigo
I curse you
A ti te maldigo
I curse you
A ti te maldigo y a tus lágrimas de sal
I curse you and your salty tears
A ti te maldigo, no me vas a hacer llorar
I curse you, you won't make me cry
A ti te maldigo
I curse you
Porque un niño que no es mío
Because a child who isn't mine
Nunca lo debí cuidar
I should have never cared for it
Nunca lo debí cuidar
I should have never cared for it
Nunca lo debí cuidar
I should have never cared for it
Nunca lo debí cuidar
I should have never cared for it
