De nuevo aterrizando en Buenos Aires Landing again in Buenos Aires 00:11
El cielo se ve mas nublao que antes The sky looks more cloudy than before 00:14
No quiero estar en ningun lado I don't want to be anywhere 00:17
No quiero bajarme I don't want to get off 00:19
No quiero enfrentarlo I don't want to face it 00:20
Es que nos quisimos a destiempo It's just that we loved each other out of time 00:22
Yo quise to con vos I wanted everything with you 00:25
Vos fuiste mas lento You were slower 00:26
Y ahora que no me quedan ganas And now that I have no desire left 00:28
Estas desesperao llorando afuera de mi casa You're outside my house, desperate and crying 00:30
No quiero volver a tomar I don't want to drink again 00:34

Pero en el fondo siempre lo supimos But deep down, we always knew 01:03
El que quiere todo quiere cuando no lo tiene The one who wants everything wants it when they don't have it 01:07
Es un chico caprichoso solo se entretiene He's a spoiled boy, just entertaining himself 01:09
Y cuando puede ver que pierde lo que más quiere And when he sees he’s losing what he loves most 01:12
Vuelve llorando por un poco más He comes back crying for a little more 01:15
El que quiere todo quiere cuando no lo tiene The one who wants everything wants it when they don't have it 01:18
Y a mí no me va a encontrar le ruegue a quien le ruegue And he won't find me, let him beg whoever he wants 01:20

Lyrics & Translation

[English] Landing again in Buenos Aires
The sky looks more cloudy than before
I don't want to be anywhere
I don't want to get off
I don't want to face it
It's just that we loved each other out of time
I wanted everything with you
You were slower
And now that I have no desire left
You're outside my house, desperate and crying
I don't want to drink again
Because I don't want to call you again
I don't want you to ask for forgiveness
Because I no longer want to forgive you
And now that I'm not looking for anything anymore
You come begging in my face
Saying "without you, I'm nothing"
Wanting to fix the messes
We took different paths
And now I'm dancing to another rhythm
What a shame we didn't live it
But deep down, we always knew
The one who wants everything wants it when they don't have it
He's a spoiled boy, just entertaining himself
And when he sees he’s losing what he loves most
He comes back crying for a little more
The one who wants everything wants it when they don't have it
And he won't find me, let him beg whoever he wants
And even though the city is huge, we both don't fit
I've already left Buenos Aires, I won't see you again
And now that I'm not looking for anything anymore
You come begging in my face
Saying "without you, I'm nothing"
Wanting to fix the messes
We took different paths
And now I'm dancing to another rhythm
What a shame we didn't live it
But deep down, we always knew
And now that I'm not looking for anything anymore
You come begging in my face
Saying "without you, I'm nothing"
Wanting to fix the messes
We took different paths
And now I'm dancing to another rhythm
What a shame we didn't live it
But deep down, we always knew
