Lyrics & Translation

[Spanish]

[English]

Si cada noche voy a hablarte a tu ventana

If every night I come to talk to you at your window

Esperando a que me des una contestación

Waiting for you to give me an answer

Y ahí estamos hasta que el tiempo nos para

And there we are until time stops us

La rutina en tu ventana, siempre los dos

The routine at your window, just the two of us

Si hay mañanas que te llamo cuando el alba

If there are mornings I call you at dawn

Y de repente yo me meto en tu habitación

And suddenly I get into your room

Y te miro mientras duermes a la cara

And I look at you while you sleep face to face

Esa cara que me rompe el corazón

That face that breaks my heart

Por eso quiero ser la palabra

That’s why I want to be the word

Que rompes con tu boca sin pensarla

That you break with your mouth without thinking

Que sueñas cada noche allí en la cama

That you dream every night there in bed

Que tu saliva cuida sin tocarla

That your saliva guards without touching it

Quiero ser la poesía de tus labios

I want to be the poetry of your lips

Quiero ser tu sueño

I want to be your dream

Si es tu ventana la que llora cuando faltas

If it's your window crying when you're gone

Si eres la reina que quisiera mi soledad

If you are the queen that my loneliness wishes for

Si eres el cuento que no quise que acabara

If you are the story I didn't want to end

Si eres la estrella que no deja, ay, de brillar

If you are the star that keeps shining, oh

Por eso quiero ser la palabra

That’s why I want to be the word

Que rompes con tu boca sin pensarla

That you break with your mouth without thinking
