Se nos muere el amor
Our love is dying
Tiene fiebre de frío
It's got a fever of cold
Se nos cayó de la cama
It fell out of bed
Cuando lo empujó el hastío
When boredom pushed it down
Y está enfermo de muerte
And it's sick to the death
El mismo que era tan fuerte
The same one that was so strong
Tiene anemia de besos
It's anemic for kisses
Tiene cáncer de olvido y por si fuera poco
It's got cancer of forgetfulness, and to make matters worse
Tiene ganas de morir
It wants to die
Se nos muere el amor
Our love is dying
Se nos mueren las ganas
Our desires are dying
Las vemos agonizar
We watch them agonize
Convulsionando entre las sábanas
Convulsing between the sheets
Y no existe un vino tinto
And there's no red wine
Que nos reviva el instinto
That can revive our instinct
Se nos muere la magia, la pasión, la locura
Magic, passion, and madness are fading away
Ay, amor traicionero
Oh, treacherous love
Viniste pa' jorobarnos
You came to mess with us
Yo sobrevivía sin ella
I was surviving without her
Y ella era feliz sin mí
And she was happy without me
Ay, amor, con el tiempo te nos has oxidado
Oh, love, with time you've rusted away
Ay, amor susceptible, ay, amor delicado
Oh, love so sensitive, oh, love so delicate
Ay, amor, no te mueras
Oh, love, don't you die
O muérete de un trancazo
Or die in one sudden blow
Que no hay peor agonía
For there's no worse agony
Que la que es, de paso en paso
Than the one that is, step by step
Se nos muere el amor
Our love is dying
Se le acabó la ternura
The tenderness has run out
Y a la libertad
And to freedom
La convertimos en dictadura
We turned it into dictatorship
Se contagió de costumbre
It got infected by habit
Le faltó fuego a la lumbre
The flame lacked fire
Se nos mueren los sueños, los versos, los besos
Our dreams, verses, and kisses are dying
Ay, amor implacable
Oh, relentless love
Yo ya no sé qué prefiero
I don't know what I prefer anymore
Que me odie de corazón
That you hate me with your heart
O que me ame sin amor
Or that you love me without love
Ay, amor, con el tiempo te nos has oxidado
Oh, love, over time you've rusted away
Ay, amor susceptible, ay, amor delicado
Oh, sensitive love, oh, delicate love
Ay, amor, no te mueras
Oh, love, don't die
O muérete de un trancazo
Oh, die in one blow
Que no hay peor agonía
For there’s no worse agony
Que la que es de paso en paso
Than the one that goes step by step
Si todo era tan bello, dime, amor, ¿qué nos pasa?
If everything was so beautiful, tell me, love, what’s happening to us?
Hoy ya no somos ni amigos, no cabemos en casa
Today we are not even friends, we don’t fit in this house
Ay, amor tan ingrato
Oh, ungrateful love
Quítame solo una duda
Just take away one doubt for me
Si eres tú el que te mueres
Is it you who is dying
O soy yo el que te mato
Or am I the one who will kill you
