[English]

[music]

Your words hurt me like daggers

that pierce through.

After so many years, you look at me

as if nothing happened.

And I still can't find a way to process it.

Oh,

it's a tragedy. The queen died [music]

over there.

Even though it hurts, even though it hurts with so much

pain, I'm forgetting you. [music] It's for the best,

you know. I never wanted this, so why bother

with more details. Mario,

your eyes

no longer reflect in mine.

Silence builds up, and on your cold

lips, your affection sails against the current,

[music] and mine. You alone

reflect in mine.

[music]

Silence has built up, and on your

cold lips [music] your affection

sails against the current [singing]

and mine [music] you alone.

I know my bad actions and my character

[music]

poison everything,

[singing] that I make a thousand mistakes and I'm not

the person I want to be.

My feet are on the ground, I know that

[music][singing] I am not. Ah, if love left,

it was your fault, and even though

[singing]

it hurts, with great pain I'm forgetting you.

[music] It's for the best, you know that

I loved you, so why give [singing] more details

Mario?

Nights [music]

fall asleep and turn dark and painful. Flowers

that bloom, wither

and stars, you [music]

heart

does not have with its

[music] your eyes

no longer reflect in mine

Silence has built up and [music] on your

cold lips, affection sails against the current

your affection

and mine [music]

it's

in mine

[music] Silence has built up, and on your

cold lips [music]

your affection sails against the current

The night falls asleep and dark [music] it

sleeps, the flowers that bloom wither

and die [music] and your desire

doesn't fulfill the heart's desire [music]

a part of my consolation.

The nights fall asleep and feel the pain.

[music]

the flowers that bloom wither

stars [music]

your desire doesn't fulfill the heart's desire

[singing][music]

The [music] night turns, the dark one

falls asleep

[music] the flowers that bloom.

no more time with you. [music]

[music]

the night falls asleep, the flowers wither, the one that

[music]

the flowers wither

for your desire, heart

Key Grammar Structures

• Tus palabras me hacen daño como puñales se clavan.

  ➔ Reflexive verb usage for passive/intransitive effect.

  ➔ The verb "se clavan" (they sink/pierce) uses the reflexive "se" to describe the action happening to the subject without a direct agent.

• Después de tantitos años me miras como si nada.

  ➔ Subjunctive mood after 'como si'.

  ➔ In Spanish, the phrase "como si" is always followed by the subjunctive to express a hypothetical or contrary-to-fact situation.

• Sé de mis maladas acciones y mi carácter que cometo mil errores.

  ➔ Present indicative used for personal acknowledgment.

  ➔ The verb "sé" (I know) is in the present indicative, asserting a factual internal realization about "mis" (my) actions.

• No soy la que quisiera.

  ➔ Imperfect subjunctive for desire or hypothesis.

  ➔ The form "quisiera" is an alternative to the conditional, used here to express a wistful desire of what one would like to be.

• Se acumula el silencio.

  ➔ Passive 'se' (Pasciva refleja).

  ➔ The structure "Se acumula el silencio" means "The silence is accumulated" or "Silence is piling up", where "se" makes the sentence passive.

• Tus ojos ya no se reflejan en los míos.

  ➔ Possessive pronouns (míos) and reflexive verbs.

  ➔ "Míos" acts as a possessive pronoun substituting "mis ojos", while "se reflejan" shows the reflexive action of the eyes.

• Aunque me duela, con mucho dolor te olvido.

  ➔ Subjunctive after concessive conjunction 'aunque'.

  ➔ "Aunque" uses the subjunctive "duela" because it refers to a hypothetical or uncertain future/ongoing feeling of pain.

• Las noches se duermen y oscuras se duelen.

  ➔ Adjective functioning as an adverbial complement.

  ➔ "Oscuras" (dark) describes the state of the subject (nights) as they perform the action of grieving ("se duelen").
