Me he dado cuenta de que miento
I've realized that I lie
Siempre he mentido
I've always lied
Siempre he mentido
I've always lied
He escrito tanta inútil cosa
I've written so much useless stuff
Sin descubrirme
Without uncovering myself
Sin dar conmigo
Without finding myself
No amar en seco con tanto dolor
Not loving dryly with so much pain
Es quizás la última verdad
It's perhaps the last truth
Que queda en mi interior
That remains inside me
Bajo mi corazón
Below my heart
No sé si fue que malgasté mi fe
I don't know if I wasted my faith
En amores sin porvenir
On loves with no future
Que no me queda ya
I have nothing left
Ni un grano de sentir
Not even a grain of feeling
Yo sé que a nadie le interesa
I know that no one cares
Lo de otra gente
About other people's
Con sus tristezas
Sorrow
Esta canción
This song
Es más que una canción
Is more than just a song
Y un pretexto para sufrir
And an excuse to suffer
Y más que mi vivir
And more than my life
Y más que mi sentir
And more than my feelings
Esta canción es la necesidad
This song is the need
De agarrarme a la tierra al fin
To finally hold on to the earth
De que te veas en mí
For you to see yourself in me
De que me vea en ti
For me to see myself in you
Yo sé que hay gente
I know there are people
Que me quiere
Who love me
Yo sé que hay gente
I know there are people
Que no me quiere
Who do not love me
