Por culpa de un milagro despistao
Because of a careless miracle
Tú te fijaste en mí sin darte cuenta
You looked at me without realizing
Encontré lo que jamás había buscado
I found what I had never searched for
Y todo lo que fui se puso en venta
And everything I was went up for sale
Pude dejar pasar por un costado
I could let it slip by unnoticed
La dicha de ocuparme de tu tiempo
The joy of taking care of your time
De tu tiempo
Of your time
Yo no era para ti, siempre lo supe
I was never meant for you, I always knew it
Y tú tardaste poco en darte cuenta
And you took little time to figure it out
Tú tenías la razón ¿quién lo discute?
You were right, who can argue that?
La calma no llegó tras la tormenta
Calm didn't arrive after the storm
Yo que estaba curado de estos males
Me, who had been healed from these ills
Me tienes arañando tu recuerdo
You're making me scratch at your memory
Tu recuerdo
Your memory
Comienzo a padecer lo equivocao
I begin to suffer from the mistakes
Y agrego a mi arsenal de cicatrices
And I add to my arsenal of scars
La herida que dejaste a mi costao
The wound you left at my side
Por andar buscando historias felices
For wandering in search of happy tales
Te quiero aunque te suene a demasiado
I love you even if it sounds like too much
No entiendo y pesa más que una montaña
I don't understand and it weighs more than a mountain
Cómo es que un corazón invertebrado
How is it that an invertebrate heart
Se quiebra por lo mucho que te extraña
Breaks from missing you so much?
¿Cómo es que un corazón tan desahuciado
How is it that such a hopeless heart
Genera enzimas nuevas de esperanza?
Generates new enzymes of hope?
Tú cerraste el telón y pa'otro lao
You closed the curtain and turned away
Y yo sin un espacio en tu mudanza
And I'm left with no space in your move.
Facturas de un milagro trasnochao
Bills from a miracle that stayed up too late
Que da en bandeja lo que no mereces
That serves up what you don't deserve.
No mereces
You don't deserve it.
Comienzo a padecer lo equivocao
I begin to suffer from what's wrong.
Y agrego a mi arsenal de cicatrices
And I add to my arsenal of scars
La herida que dejaste a mi costao
The wound you left at my side
Por andar buscando historias felices
For seeking out happy stories
Te quiero aunque te suene a demasiao
I love you even if it sounds too much
No entiendo y pesa más que una montaña
I don't understand and it weighs more than a mountain
Cómo es que un corazón invertebrado
How is it that an invertebrate heart
Se quiebra por lo mucho que te extraña
Breaks from missing you so much
