[English]

The route is half empty, like my life without you

Who would have imagined

That the moment would come

That damned moment of looking to the side

And not seeing you in my mornings, nor smiling with your voice

It's feeling cornered

It's for not having appreciated

And for having thrown away what life gave me

I can't go on, I have no strength left

I'm just this, just clay

I have nothing, I don't deserve it

Don't have pity on me

...

Is it just my clumsiness or is it my way of walking?

I couldn't follow your steps

I kept falling apart

Only scraps remained and I couldn't gather them

If you're not in my mornings, if I don't laugh with you

If I feel cornered

It's for not having appreciated

And for having thrown away what life gave me

I can't go on, I have no strength left

I'm just this, just clay

I have nothing, I don't deserve it

Don't have pity on me

...

[Spanish]

La ruta semi vacía, como mi vida sin vos

Quién hubiera imaginado

Que llegaría el momento

Ese maldito momento de mirar para un costado

Y no verte en mis mañanas, ni sonreír con tu voz

Es sentirme acorralado

Es por no haber apreciado

Y yo mismo haber tirado lo que la vida me dio

No sigo más, no tengo resto

Soy sólo esto, barro nomás

No tengo nada, no lo merezco

Vos no me tengas piedad

¿Será sólo mi torpeza o será mi forma de andar?

No pude seguir tus pasos

Me fui cayendo a pedazos

Sólo quedaron retazos y no los pude juntar

Si no estás en mis mañanas, si no me río con vos

Si me siento acorralado

Es por no haber apreciado

Y yo mismo haber tirado lo que la vida me dio

No sigo más, no tengo resto

Soy sólo esto, barro nomás

No tengo nada, no lo merezco

Vos no me tengas piedad
