Amarte a ti no es lo mejor, lo tengo claro
Loving you isn't the best, I know that for sure
Habiendo tantas cosas por hacer, menos traumáticas
With so many things to do, less traumatic
Como hallarle figuras a las nubes
Like finding shapes in the clouds
Como ir al cine o no hacer nada
Like going to the movies or doing nothing at all
Amarte a ti no es lo mejor, pero me gusta
Loving you isn't the best, but I like it
Quizás estoy jugando como siempre al masoquista
Maybe I'm just playing the masochist as always
En vez de distraerme con el fútbol
Instead of distracting myself with soccer
O con el Internet como hacen todos
Or with the internet like everyone else does
Amarte a ti no es lo mejor, pero es perfecto
Loving you isn't the best, but it's perfect
Para encontrarle algún sentido a esta rutina
To find some meaning in this routine
De ser por siempre solo un ciudadano
To be forever just a citizen
Solo uno más
Just one more
Amarte a ti me hace sufrir, qué buena suerte
Loving you makes me suffer, what good luck
Para acordarme de que existo y de que siento
To remind me that I exist and that I feel
Para tener en que pensar todas las noches
To have something to think about every night
Para vivir
To live
Amarte a ti es un veneno que da vida
Loving you is a poison that gives life
Es una antorcha que se enciende si se apaga
It's a torch that lights up when it goes out
Es lo sublime junto con lo idiota
It's the sublime mixed with the foolish
Es lo que siento, y a quién le importa
It's what I feel, and who cares
Amarte a ti es la verdad más mentirosa
Loving you is the greatest lie of truth
Es lo mejor de lo peor que me ha pasado
It's the best of the worst that's happened to me
Es la ruleta rusa por un beso
It's Russian roulette for a kiss
Es lo de siempre, improvisado
It's the usual thing, improvised
Amarte a ti es un error, dice un amigo
Loving you is a mistake, says a friend
Que cree que ser feliz es estar libre
Who thinks being happy means being free
Y se pierde del matiz que da lo incierto
And he loses the nuance that uncertainty brings
Amarte a ti
Loving you
Es la embajada de un instante en mi cerebro
Is the embassy of a moment in my brain
Es también haberte odiado un par de veces
It's also having hated you a couple of times
Amarte a ti es un absurdo y lo sabemos
Loving you is absurd and we both know it
Y así será...
And so it shall be...
Mientras nos dure
As long as it lasts
