en la cara

• By: Olivia Wald, Rusherking

Lyrics:

[Español]

[English]

De nuevo aterrizando en Buenos Aires

Landing again in Buenos Aires

El cielo se ve mas nublao que antes

The sky looks more cloudy than before

No quiero estar en ningun lado

I don't want to be anywhere

No quiero bajarme

I don't want to get off

No quiero enfrentarlo

I don't want to face it

Es que nos quisimos a destiempo

It's just that we loved each other out of time

Yo quise to con vos

I wanted everything with you

Vos fuiste mas lento

You were slower

Y ahora que no me quedan ganas

And now that I have no desire left

Estas desesperao llorando afuera de mi casa

You're outside my house, desperate and crying

No quiero volver a tomar

I don't want to drink again

Porque no quiero volver a llamarte

Because I don't want to call you again

No quiero que pidas perdon

I don't want you to ask for forgiveness

Porque ya no quiero perdonarte

Because I no longer want to forgive you

Y ahora que no busco mas nada

And now that I'm not looking for anything anymore

Me viene a rogar en la cara

You come begging in my face

Diciendo "sin ti no soy nada"

Saying "without you, I'm nothing"

Queriendo arreglar las cagadas

Wanting to fix the messes

Tomamos caminos distintos

We took different paths

Y ahora estoy bailando otro ritmo

And now I'm dancing to another rhythm

Qué pena que no lo vivimos

What a shame we didn't live it

Pero en el fondo siempre lo supimos

But deep down, we always knew

El que quiere todo quiere cuando no lo tiene

The one who wants everything wants it when they don't have it

Es un chico caprichoso solo se entretiene

He's a spoiled boy, just entertaining himself

Y cuando puede ver que pierde lo que más quiere

And when he sees he’s losing what he loves most

Vuelve llorando por un poco más

He comes back crying for a little more

El que quiere todo quiere cuando no lo tiene

The one who wants everything wants it when they don't have it

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

Y aunque la ciudad es gigante, los dos no cabemos

And even though the city is huge, we both don't fit

Ya me fui de Buenos Aires, no te veo de nuevo

I've already left Buenos Aires, I won't see you again

Y ahora que no busco mas nada

And now that I'm not looking for anything anymore

Me viene a rogar en la cara

You come begging in my face

Diciendo "sin ti no soy nada"

Saying "without you, I'm nothing"

Queriendo arreglar las cagadas

Wanting to fix the messes

Tomamos caminos distintos

We took different paths

Y ahora estoy bailando otro ritmo

And now I'm dancing to another rhythm

Qué pena que no lo vivimos

What a shame we didn't live it

Pero en el fondo siempre lo supimos

But deep down, we always knew

Y ahora que no busco mas nada

And now that I'm not looking for anything anymore

Me viene a rogar en la cara

You come begging in my face

Diciendo "sin ti no soy nada"

Saying "without you, I'm nothing"

Queriendo arreglar las cagadas

Wanting to fix the messes

Tomamos caminos distintos

We took different paths

Y ahora estoy bailando otro ritmo

And now I'm dancing to another rhythm

Qué pena que no lo vivimos

What a shame we didn't live it

Pero en el fondo siempre lo supimos

But deep down, we always knew
