Arjona
Tú me dices
You tell me
Yo te digo
I tell you
Y así empieza nuestra guerra cotidiana
And so begins our daily war
Yo me armo de adjetivos
I equip myself with adjectives
Tú conjugas el peor de mis pasados
You conjure the worst of my pasts
Ednita
Y te apunto
And I point at you
Donde duele
Where it hurts
Y te acuerdo el peor de tus pecados
And I remind you of the worst of your sins
Tú reviras la ofensiva
You turn the offensive around
Y disparas donde sabes que haces daño
And shoot where you know it hurts
Arjona
Y en el campo de batalla
And on the battlefield
Quedan muertos los minutos que perdemos
The minutes we waste lie dead
Tú me dices
You tell me
Yo te digo
I tell you
Y así acaba nuestra guerra cotidiana
And thus ends our daily war
Esta guerra sin cuartel que nadie gana
This relentless war that no one wins
Ambos
Both
Porque hablamos
Because we talk
Y no usamos ese tiempo en darnos besos
And we don't spend that time kissing each other
Arjona
En pintarnos con las manos
In painting ourselves with our hands
Las caricias que queremos
The caresses we desire
Ambos
Both
Y que no nos damos
And that we don't give ourselves
Porque siempre hablamos
Because we always talk
Ednita
De lo tuyo y de lo mío
About yours and mine
Arjona
Del pasado y los culpables
From the past and the guilty
Ambos
Both
Mientras muere otro minuto
As another minute dies
Porque hablamos
Because we talk
Arjona
Ya te dije
I've already told you
Que no es cierto
That it's not true
Ya dijiste que tú no eres lo que digo
You already said you're not what I say
Nadie cree
Nobody believes
Nadie acepta
Nobody accepts
Cada quien defiende su utopía
Everyone defends their utopia
Ednita
Y el fantasma de la duda
And the ghost of doubt
Se abre paso en la frontera del futuro
Carves a path at the border of the future
Y el presente moribundo
And the dying present
Se consuela con lo poco que nos queda
Finds solace in the little that remains
Arjona
Y te quiero
And I love you
Ednita
Y me quieres
And you love me
Pero somos más idiotas que sensatos
But we're more foolish than sensible
Y aparece otro día
And another day arrives
Arjona
Y nos van quedando llagas incurables
And we're left with incurable wounds
De esta maldita enfermedad de hablar de más
From this damn disease of talking too much
Ambos
Both
Porque hablamos
Because we talk
Y no usamos ese tiempo en darnos besos
And we don't use that time to kiss
En pintarnos con las manos
To paint each other with our hands
Las caricias que queremos
The caresses we desire
Y que no nos damos
And that we don't give ourselves
Porque siempre hablamos
Because we always talk
De lo tuyo y de lo mío
About yours and about mine
Del pasado y los culpables
About the past and the guilty ones
Mientras muere otro minuto
While another minute dies
Porque hablamos
Because we talk
Mientras muere otro minuto
While another minute dies
Ednita
Porque hablamos
Because we talk
Arjona
Because we talk
Porque hablamos
