Me queda poco para consentirte

I have little left to indulge you

...

Para arreglarme el alma

To mend my soul

Para poder soltar

To be able to let go

Y que el viento se llevó todo

And that the wind took everything away

Que ya no existes más

That you no longer exist

Se está apagando tu mirada

Your gaze is fading

Y que el tiempo cura todo

And that time heals everything

...

...

No es cierto

It's not true

Y que la luna es de queso

And that the moon is made of cheese

No es cierto

It's not true

Me parece escuchar tu voz en el corral

No quiero estar vivo, tampoco muerto

I don't want to be alive, nor dead

Estando frente a ti, no pude reaccionar

Standing in front of you, I couldn't react

Te fuiste borrando como un recuerdo

You faded away like a memory

(Lento, lento)

Dame una señal

Give me a sign

...

Tan solo una razón

Just one reason

Para arreglarme el alma

To mend my soul

Para poder sanar

To be able to heal

Porque siento que no es cierto

Because I feel that it's not true

Que tú ya no existes

That you no longer exist

Se está secando mi mirada

Quiero poder soltar
