A la medida de mis temores
To the measure of my fears
De mis defectos y frustraciones
Of my flaws and frustrations
Apareciste aquella noche
You appeared that night
Con blusa blanca y traje oscuro
In a white blouse and dark suit
A la medida de tantos sueños
To the measure of so many dreams
Que caen al piso y se diluyen
That fall to the floor and fade away
A la medida de cada pliegue
To the measure of every fold
Del cuerpo tuyo está hecho el mío
Your body is what mine is made of
A la medida de tus deseos
To the measure of your desires
Están mis ganas de sofocarlos
Are my wishes to stifle them
A la medida
To measure
Estamos hechos a la medida
We are made to measure
A la medida
To measure
Como dos aguas del mismo río
Like two waters from the same river
A la medida
To measure
A la medida tú y yo
To measure you and me
A la medida
To measure
A la medida de tus complejos
To the measure of your flaws
Están los míos para entenderse
Are my own to understand
Tú tienes alas que vuelan poco
You have wings that don't fly much
Yo tengo sueños que no aterrizan
I have dreams that never land
A la medida de tus secretos
Tailored to your secrets
Es mi silencio pa' conservarlos
It's my silence to keep them safe
A la medida de tu cintura
Tailored to your waist
Están mis brazos para abrazarla
My arms are here to hold her
A la medida de mi pasado
Tailored to my past
Es tu presente para olvidarlo
It's your present to let it go
A la medida
Tailored to the measure
Estamos hechos a la medida
We are made to measure
A la medida
Tailored to the measure
Como dos aguas del mismo río
Like two waters from the same river
A la medida
To the measure
A la medida tú y yo
To the measure you and I
A la medida
To the measure

To the measure
Estamos hechos a la medida
We are made to the measure
A la medida

Como dos aguas del mismo río
Like two waters from the same river
A la medida

A la medida tú y yo
To the measure you and I

To the measure
A la medida tú y yo
To the measure, you and I
A la medida
