Lyrics & Translation

[Spanish]

[English]

Si te pudiera mentir

If I could lie to you

Te diría que aquí

I'd tell you that everything here

...

...

Todo va marchando muy bien

Is going very well

Pero no es así

But that's not the case

...

...

Esta casa es solo un pensamiento

This house is just a thought

Que me habla de ti

That speaks to me of you

...

...

Y es tu voz como este mismo viento

And your voice is like this very wind

Que hoy viene hacia mí

That comes toward me today

...

...

Cada vez me duele perder

Every time it hurts me to lose

Un minuto más

One more minute

...

...

Aquí, sin poder entender

Here, unable to understand

Por qué tú no estás

Why you're not here

Estas tardes oscuras me asustan

These dark afternoons scare me

Y no me hace bien

And it doesn't do me any good

...

...

Caminar en sentido contrario

Walking in the opposite direction

A lo que es mi Edén

From my Eden

...

...

A veces creo oír que me necesitas

Sometimes I think I hear that you need me

...

...

Y alguna que otra vez siento tu mirar

And once in a while I feel your gaze

...

...

He hecho unos cambios en mí

I've made some changes in myself

Pensando si te gustarán

Thinking if you'll like them

Qué imposible es dejarte de amar

How impossible it is to stop loving you

...

...

No existe fórmula para olvidarte

There's no formula to forget you

...

...

Eres mi música y mi mejor canción

You are my music and my best song

...

...

Sé que no hay un corazón

I know there's no heart

Que sienta lo mismo por ti

That feels the same for you

...

...

Como este que implora hoy regreses a mí

Like mine, which pleads today for you to return to me

Y es Calibre 50, chiquitita

And it's Calibre 50, little one

...

...

No existe fórmula para olvidarte

There's no formula to forget you

...

...

Eres mi música y mi mejor canción

You are my music and my best song

...

...

Sé que no hay un corazón

I know there's no heart

Que sienta lo mismo por ti

That feels the same for you

Como este que implora hoy regreses a mí

Like mine, which pleads today for you to return to me

...
