Igual que el mosquito más tonto de la manada 00:14
Yo sigo tu luz, aunque me lleve a morir 00:21
Te sigo como les siguen los puntos finales 00:28
A todas las frases suicidas que buscan su fin 00:34
Igual que el poeta que decide trabajar en un banco 00:42
Sería posible que yo, en el peor de los casos 00:48
Le hiciera una llave de judo a mi pobre corazón 00:55
Haciendo que firme, llorando, esta declaración 01:02
Me callo, porque es más cómodo engañarse 01:09
Me callo, porque ha ganado la razón al corazón 01:16
Pero, pase lo que pase, y aunque otro me acompañe 01:23
En silencio pensaré tan sólo en ti 01:29
Igual que el mendigo cree que el cine es un escaparate 01:36
Igual que una flor, resignada, decora un despacho elegante 01:43
Prometo llamarle "amor mío" a la primera que no me haga daño 01:50
Y reír será un lujo que olvide, cuando te haya olvidado 01:57
Pero, igual que se espera como esperan en la Plaza de Mayo 02:04
Procuro encender en secreto una vela, no sea que por si acaso 02:10
Un golpe de suerte, algún día, quiera que te vuelva a ver 02:17
Reduciendo estas palabras a un trozo de papel, mmm, no 02:24
Me callo, porque es más cómodo engañarse 02:31
Me callo, porque ha ganado la razón al corazón 02:38
Pero, pase lo que pase (pase lo que pase) 02:45
Y aunque otro me acompañe 02:48
En silencio te querré tan sólo... 02:51
Me callo, porque es más cómodo engañarse 02:55
Me callo, porque ha ganado la razón al corazón 03:02
Pero, pase lo que pase y aunque otro me acompañe 03:09
En silencio te querré 03:15
En silencio te amaré 03:19
En silencio pensaré, tan sólo... 03:22

Lyrics & Translation

Embark on an emotional journey with "Deseos de Cosas Imposibles," a beautiful duet by La Oreja de Van Gogh and Abel Pintos. This song offers a poignant look at love, longing, and the acceptance of circumstances, expressed through evocative lyrics and a captivating melody.

[English]
Just like the dumbest mosquito in the swarm
I follow your light, even if it leads me to die
I follow you like the final dots follow each other
To all those suicidal phrases seeking their end
Like the poet who chooses to work in a bank
Could it be possible that I, at worst
Give my poor heart a judo throw
Making it sign, crying, this declaration
I stay silent because it's easier to deceive oneself
I stay silent because reason has won over the heart
But no matter what happens, and even if someone else is with me
In silence, I will only think of you
Like a beggar believes the cinema is a showcase
Like a resigned flower ornamenting an elegant office
I promise to call the first one who won't hurt me "my love"
And laughter will be a luxury I forget when I’ve forgotten you
But, just like they wait in Plaza de Mayo
I secretly try to light a candle, just in case
Some stroke of luck, someday, makes me want to see you again
Reducing these words to a piece of paper, hmm, no
I stay silent because it's easier to deceive oneself
I stay silent because reason has won over the heart
But no matter what happens (no matter what happens)
And even if someone else is with me
In silence, I will only love you...
I stay silent because it's easier to deceive oneself
I stay silent because reason has won over the heart
But no matter what happens, and even if someone else is with me
In silence, I will love you
In silence, I will love you
In silence, I will only think of you...
