Tanto monstruo en la cabeza
So many monsters in my head
Tanto tiempo en el reloj
So much time on the clock
Tanta luz, tanta tristeza
So much light, so much sorrow
Como un cuadro de Van Gogh
Like a painting by Van Gogh
Ya perdimos la batalla
We've already lost the battle
Ya intentamos insistir
We've already tried to insist
Gritas tanto cuando callas
You scream so much when you're silent
Que no me dejas vivir
That you don't let me live
Cuéntame algo que no sepa
Tell me something I don't know
Miente y dime la verdad
Lie and tell me the truth
Menos daño hace el que peca
Less harm is done by the one who sins
Que el que finge caridad
Than the one who feigns charity
Se nos fue el amor, sé fuerte
Love has slipped away, be strong
Fue un gran gusto conocerte
It was a great pleasure to meet you
Si hay un circo, habrá un payaso
If there's a circus, there will be a clown
Si hay ausencia, soledad
If there's absence, solitude
Si hay intento, habrá fracaso
If there's an attempt, there will be failure
Si hay un sueño, realidad
If there's a dream, reality
Tanto el mar golpea la roca
The sea hits the rock so hard
Que la parte a la mitad
That it splits it in half
Si un pez muere por la boca
If a fish dies by its mouth
El amor, por dignidad
Love, for dignity's sake
Cuéntame algo que no sepa
Tell me something I don't know
Miente y dime la verdad
Lie and tell me the truth
Menos daño hace el que peca
The one who sins does less harm
Que el que finge caridad
Than the one who feigns charity
Se nos fue el amor, sé fuerte
Love has slipped away, be strong
Fue un gran gusto conocerte
It was a great pleasure to meet you
Cuéntame algo que no sepa
Tell me something I don't know
Miente y dime la verdad
Lie and tell me the truth
Menos daño hace el que peca
The one who sins does less harm
Que el que finge caridad
Than the one who pretends to care
Se nos fue el amor, sé fuerte
Love has left us, be strong
Fue un gran gusto conocerte
It was a great pleasure to meet you
