Se nos muere el amor
Our love is dying
Tiene fiebre de frío
It has a fever of cold
Se nos cayó de la cama
It fell out of bed
Cuando lo empujo el hastío
When I push it, boredom hits
Y está enfermo de muerte
And it's suffering a deadly illness
El mismo que era tan fuerte
The same one that was so strong
Tiene anemia de besos
It has anemia from kisses
Tiene cáncer de olvido y por si fuera poco
It has cancer from forgetting, and as if that weren't enough
Tiene ganas de morir
It longs 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 instincts
Se nos muere la magia, la pasión, la locura
The magic, passion, and madness are dying on us
Ay, amor traicionero
Oh, treacherous love
Viniste pa' jorobarnos
You came to mess with us
Yo sobrevivía sin ella
I survived 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, 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 on us
O muérete de un trancazo
Or die with a bang
Que no hay peor agonía
For there's no worse agony
Que la que es, de paso en paso
Than the one that comes, step by step
Se nos muere el amor
Our love is dying
Se le acabo la ternura
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 caught on like a habit
Le falto fuego a la lumbre
The fire's gone from the flame
Se nos mueren los sueños, los versos, los besos
Our dreams, our verses, our kisses are dying
Ay, amor implacable
Oh, relentless love
Yo ya no sé qué prefiero
I no longer know what I prefer
Que me odie de corazón
For you to hate me from the heart
O que me amé, sin amor
Or to 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 you die
O muérete de un trancazo
Oh, die in one blow
Que no hay peor agonía
There's no worse agony
Que la que es de paso en paso
Than the one that comes 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
Today we are not even friends
No cabemos en casa
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
If it's you who's dying
O soy yo, el que te mato
Or am I the one who kills you
