[English]

We’ll go together, growing old

Some dreams, all the skin

Biting time

Licking the air

We search for each other to avoid ourselves

And yet, here I am

And yet, I’m not leaving

We live together in mutual hells

In human lies, eternal sisters

Together we seek the eternal pair

After loving each other, we hate each other

And yet, here I am

And yet, I’m not leaving

I’m slowly leaving

Like the sea

Slow and wild, just like you

I’m slowly leaving

Like the sea

Slow and wild, just like you

Let’s embrace each other

To grow in peace

Let’s forget about punishing ourselves

To love each other

Let’s go together, making kisses

I’ll give you my eyes so you can cry

I’m slowly leaving

Like the sea

Slow and wild, just like you

I’m slowly leaving like the sea

Slow and wild, just like you

I’m slowly leaving

Like the sea

Slow and wild, just like you

...

[Spanish]

Nos vamos juntos haciendo viejos

Algunos sueños toda la piel

Mordiendo el tiempo

Lamiendo el aire

Nos buscamos para evitarnos

Y sin embargo aquí estoy

Y sin embargo no me voy

Vivimos juntos en infiernos mutuos

En mentiras humanas, eternas hermanas

Juntos buscamos la eterna pareja

Después de amarnos nos odiamos

Y sin embargo aquí estoy

Y sin embargo no me voy

Me voy yendo

Como el mar

Lento y salvaje como tú

Me voy yendo

Como el mar

Lento y salvaje como tú

Vamos a abrazarnos

A crecer en paz

Vamos a olvidarnos de flagelarnos

Para querernos

Vayamos juntos haciendo besos

Yo te daré mis ojos para que llores

Me voy yendo

Como el mar

Lento y salvaje como tú

Me voy yendo como el mar

Lento y salvaje como tú

Me voy yendo

Como el mar

Lento y salvaje como tú

Key Grammar Structures

• Nos vamos juntos haciendo viejos

  ➔ Gerund as adverbial modifier, reflexive verb

  ➔ "Nos vamos" (we are going) is modified by "haciendo viejos" (getting old), indicating *how* we are going. "Nos" indicates the action is performed on ourselves – we are going *together* and aging *together*.

• Vivimos juntos en infiernos mutuos

  ➔ Adjective agreement, prepositional phrase

  ➔ "Mutuos" (mutual) agrees in number and gender with "infiernos" (hells). The phrase "en infiernos mutuos" (in mutual hells) functions as an adverbial phrase modifying "vivimos" (we live), indicating *where* we live.

• Después de amarnos nos odiamos

  ➔ Subjunctive clause, reflexive verb

  ➔ "Después de amarnos" (after loving each other) is a temporal clause introduced by the preposition "después de" + infinitive. "Nos odiamos" (we hate each other) is a main clause with a reflexive verb.

• Me voy yendo

  ➔ Reduplication for emphasis

  ➔ The repetition of "voy" and "yendo" ("I go" and "going") emphasizes the ongoing and deliberate nature of leaving. It's not just 'I'm leaving,' but 'I am *in the process of* leaving, and it's happening now'.
