Nos toca vivir tiempos We have to live in times 00:25
En los que ya nacemos muy viejos Where we are already born very old 00:28
Nos queda el cruel consuelo We are left with the cruel comfort 00:31
De no mirarnos nunca al espejo Of never looking at ourselves in the mirror 00:34
Nos cuesta levantarnos It's hard for us to get up 00:37
Y en la misma cuesta caemos And we fall on the same slope 00:40
Porque nos cuesta tanto Because it costs us so much 00:44
Mejor quedarse siempre en el suelo Better to always stay on the ground 00:46
Se nos cambia la mirada Our gaze changes 00:50
Cada vez que se nos rompe el alma Every time our soul breaks 00:53
Se nos quitan toda' las gana' We lose all desire 00:56
Siempre esperamos que llegue el mañana We always hope tomorrow will come 00:59
Me quedaré con muchas ganas de verte I will be left with a strong desire to see you 01:02
Vacío y sin aliento estaré I will be empty and breathless 01:07
A punto de encontrarte About to find you 01:10
Cuando se acabe el tiempo volveré When time runs out, I will return 01:13
Cuando no quede nadie When no one is left 01:16
A ver si están los restos del que fui To see if the remnants of who I was are there 01:19
Pero ese nunca vuelve But that one never comes back 01:22
En mentiras creemos We believe in lies 01:39
Nos limitamos a pensar que somos buenos We limit ourselves to thinking we are good 01:42
Nunca nos preguntamos We never ask ourselves 01:45
Solo hablamos, reímos y a veces lloramos We just talk, laugh, and sometimes cry 01:48
Cuando nos conocemos When we get to know each other 01:51
Empezamos a pensar lo que está pasando We start to think about what is happening 01:54
Y miramos más lejos And we look further away 01:57
Y miramos donde nunca habíamos mirado And we look where we had never looked 02:00
Se nos hace corto el tiempo Time feels short 02:04
Cada vez que el corazón se embala Every time the heart races 02:07
Se nos pasa la vida entera Our whole life passes by 02:10
Buscando aquella eterna mirada Searching for that eternal gaze 02:13
Me quedaré con muchas ganas de verte I will be left with a strong desire to see you 02:16
Vacío y sin aliento estaré I will be empty and breathless 02:21
A punto de encontrarte About to find you 02:24
Cuando se acabe el tiempo volveré When time runs out, I will return 02:27
Cuando no quede nadie When no one is left 02:30

Lyrics & Translation

[English] We have to live in times
Where we are already born very old
We are left with the cruel comfort
Of never looking at ourselves in the mirror
It's hard for us to get up
And we fall on the same slope
Because it costs us so much
Better to always stay on the ground
Our gaze changes
Every time our soul breaks
We lose all desire
We always hope tomorrow will come
I will be left with a strong desire to see you
I will be empty and breathless
About to find you
When time runs out, I will return
When no one is left
To see if the remnants of who I was are there
But that one never comes back
We believe in lies
We limit ourselves to thinking we are good
We never ask ourselves
We just talk, laugh, and sometimes cry
When we get to know each other
We start to think about what is happening
And we look further away
And we look where we had never looked
Time feels short
Every time the heart races
Our whole life passes by
Searching for that eternal gaze
I will be left with a strong desire to see you
I will be empty and breathless
About to find you
When time runs out, I will return
When no one is left
To see if the remnants of who I was are there
But that one never comes back
Our gaze changes
Every time our soul breaks
We lose all desire
We always hope tomorrow will come
I will be left with a strong desire to see you
I will be empty and breathless
About to find you
When time runs out, I will return
When no one is left
To see if the remnants of who I was are there
But that one never comes back
Never comes back
Never comes back
