Tenías una margarita creciendo en tu pelo
You had a daisy growing in your hair
Y ese vestido de gasa dibujaba todo
And that gauzy dress outlined it all
Yo que nunca tuve nada, iba en estampida
I who never had anything, was in a stampede
Y me enamoré enseguida
And I fell in love right away
Yo que solo fui una noche, quise ser tu vida
I who was only one night, wanted to be your life
Yo que siempre estuve lejos de lo que mereces
I who was always far from what you deserve
Hoy quiero llevarte justo a donde nunca estuve
Today I want to take you right to where I've never been
Yo que solo tengo sueños
I who only have dreams
Que por ti cuelgo en las nubes
That for you I hang in the clouds
Y ahora solo tengo el beso que me diste a medias
And now I only have the half kiss you gave me
El flechazo y la secuela
The arrow's hit and its aftermath
No pregunten por recuerdos, lleno enciclopedias
Don’t ask about memories, I’m full of encyclopedias
Y es que tanto te quería
And it’s that I loved you so much
Que te quiero todavía
That I still love you
Ganaste todas las batallas sin mover un dedo
You won every battle without lifting a finger
Perdí cada una de mis guerras invirtiendo todo
I lost each one of my wars by giving it all
Siempre en historias de dos gana el que quiere menos
Always in stories of two, the one who wants less wins
Y yo tanto te quería
And I loved you so much
Que te quiero todavía
That I still love you
Y ahora solo tengo el beso que me diste a medias
And now I only have the half-kiss you gave me
El flechazo y la secuela
The love at first sight and its aftermath
No pregunten por recuerdos, lleno enciclopedias
Don't ask about memories, I'm filled with encyclopedias
Y es que tanto te quería
And it's that I loved you so much
Búscate un recuerdo loco, tíralo en mi cara y desaparece
Find yourself a crazy memory, throw it in my face and disappear
Sueño porque no te toco, ya sé que eres rara como tierra y peces
I dream because I can't touch you, I know you're strange like land and fish
Búscate una luz de luna
Find yourself a moonlight
Róbala si no hay fortuna
Steal it if there's no fortune
Y ahora solo tengo el beso que me diste a medias
And now all I have is the half-kiss you gave me
El flechazo y la secuela
The love at first sight and its aftermath
No pregunten por recuerdos, lleno enciclopedias
Don't ask about memories, I'm filled with encyclopedias
Y es que tanto te quería
And it's that I loved you so much
Que te quiero todavía
That I still love you
