No Vuelvo Más

Lyrics:

[Español]

[English]

He perdido el sentido de seguir buscando

I've lost the sense of keeps searching

El pedazo que quedó desubicado

The piece that was misplaced

Porque sé que si lo encuentro no podré guardar silencio

Because I know if I find it, I won't be able to stay silent

Y sabrás que siendo entera tengo miedo

And you'll know that, whole, I'm afraid

Si descubro que no siento

If I discover I don't feel

Que la pasión me abandonó

That passion has abandoned me

Nunca supe usar la razón

I never knew how to use reason

Soy atracción de pasajero

I'm a passenger attraction

Mañana me olvidarán y la historia sigue

Tomorrow they'll forget me and life goes on

Dame un momento, dame un lugar

Give me a moment, give me a place

Sé que si me voy, me voy, me voy, me voy

I know if I leave, I leave, I leave, I leave

No vuelvo más

I'm not coming back

Dame sentimiento, hazme especial

Give me emotion, make me special

Sé que si me voy, me voy, me voy, me voy

I know if I leave, I leave, I leave, I leave

No vuelvo más y quizá recordarás

I'm not coming back and maybe you'll remember

Dicen que la vida de un hombre acompañado

They say a man's life with company

Se recuerda más que al hombre solitario

Is remembered more than that of a lonely man

Pero si dejo de perderme y llega la felicidad

But if I stop losing myself and happiness comes

Sé que no podría aguantar

I know I wouldn't be able to endure

Solo los genios permanecen

Only geniuses stay

Mañana me olvidarás y la historia sigue

Tomorrow you'll forget me and life goes on

Dame un momento, dame un lugar

Give me a moment, give me a place

Sé que si me voy, me voy, me voy, me voy

I know if I leave, I leave, I leave, I leave

No vuelvo más

I'm not coming back

Dame sentimiento, hazme especial

Give me emotion, make me special

Sé que si me voy, me voy, me voy, me voy

I know if I leave, I leave, I leave, I leave

No vuelvo más

I'm not coming back

Sé que si me voy, me voy, me voy, me voy

I know if I leave, I leave, I leave, I leave

...

...

No vuelvo más y quizá recordarás

I'm not coming back and maybe you'll remember

• si lo encuentro no podré guardar silencio

  ➔ Conditional sentences (Type 1): si + present subjunctive, future simple.

  ➔ This is a conditional sentence expressing a likely condition and its result. Although it looks like indicative because encuentro is the present indicative, in other contexts it needs to be used subjunctive because expresses doubt. "Si" + present indicative (or subjunctive) + future simple. In this example, "si lo encuentro" (if I find it) then "no podré guardar silencio" (I will not be able to keep silent).
