Band-aids for this broken heart (Shivering with cold)

Band-aids for this broken heart (For this heart)

You see, bad things come in threes

That life comes and goes and doesn't stop, and what do I know?

Lie to me, even if it's just a little, tell me something remains between us two

That in your room the sun never rises, nor do time or pain exist

Take me if you want to get lost, to no destination, without any reason why

I already know, that a heart that doesn't see is a heart that doesn't feel, or a heart that lies to you, my love

But, you know that deep within my soul, that pain for believing in you still remains

What happened to the hope and the beauty of living?

Why did you heal me when I was wounded, if today you leave my heart broken again?

And who will share their feelings with me?

Who will ask me never to leave her?

Who will cover me tonight if it's cold?

Who will heal my broken heart?

Who will fill this January with springtime and bring down the moon for us to play?

Tell me, if you leave, tell me, my darling, who will heal my broken heart?

...

Band-aids for this broken heart (For this broken heart)

Band-aids for this broken heart (This heart)

To give only what you have left over

Was never sharing, but giving charity, my love

If you don't know it, I'll tell you

After the storm always comes the calm, but I know that after you,

After you, there is nothing.

Why did you heal me when I was wounded, if today you leave my heart broken again?

And who will share their feelings with me?

Who will ask me never to leave her?

Who will cover me tonight if it's cold?

Who will heal my broken heart?

Who will fill this January with springtime and bring down the moon for us to play?

Tell me, if you leave, tell me, my darling, who will heal my broken heart?

...

Who will share their feelings with me?

Who will ask me never to leave her?

Who will cover me tonight if it's cold?

Who will heal my broken heart?

Who will fill this January with springtime and bring down the moon for us to play?

Tell me, if you leave, tell me, my darling, who will heal my broken heart?

Who will share their feelings with me?

Who will ask me never to leave her?

Who will cover me tonight if it's cold?

Who will heal my broken heart?

Who will fill this January with springtime and bring down the moon for us to play?

Tell me, if you leave, tell me, my darling, who will heal my broken heart?

Who will share their feelings with me?

Who will ask me never to leave her?

Who will cover me tonight if it's cold?

Who will heal my broken heart?

Who will fill this January with springtime and bring down the moon for us to play?

Tell me, if you leave, tell me, my darling, who will heal my broken heart?

Who will share their feelings with me?

Who will ask me never to leave her?

Who will cover me tonight if it's cold?

Who will heal my broken heart?

Who will fill this January with springtime and bring down the moon for us to play?

Tell me, if you leave, tell me, my darling, who will heal my broken heart?

Who will share their feelings with me?

Who will heal my broken heart?

Tiritas pa' este corazón partio' (Tiritando de frío)

Tiritas pa' este corazón partio' (Pa' este corazón)

Ya lo ves, que no hay dos sin tres

Que la vida va y viene y que no se detiene y, ¿Qué sé yo?

Miénteme aunque sea, dime que algo queda entre nosotros dos

Que en tu habitación nunca sale el sol, ni existe el tiempo ni el dolor

Llévame si quieres a perder a ningún destino, sin ningún porqué

Ya lo sé, que corazón que no ve es corazón que no siente o corazón que te miente, amor

Pero, sabes que en lo más profundo de mi alma sigue aquel dolor por creer en ti

¿Qué fue de la ilusión y de lo bello que es vivir?

Para qué me curaste cuando estaba herio' si hoy me dejas de nuevo el corazón partio'

¿Y quién me va a entregar sus emociones?

¿Quién me va a pedir que nunca la abandone?

¿Quién me tapará esta noche si hace frío?

¿Quién me va a curar el corazón partio'?

¿Quién llenará de primaveras este enero y bajará la luna para que juguemos?

Dime, si tú te vas, dime, cariño mío, ¿Quién me va a curar el corazón partio'?

Después de la tormenta siempre llega la calma, pero sé que después de ti

Después de ti no hay nada

Para qué me curaste cuando estaba herio' si hoy me dejas de nuevo el corazón partio'

Key Grammar Structures

• Tiritas pa' este corazón partio'

  ➔ Colloquial shortening / Apocope

  ➔ This line uses informal shortenings: ""pa'"" for "para" (for) and ""partio'"" for "partido" (broken). This is common in everyday Spanish speech and song lyrics to reflect natural pronunciation.

• Miénteme aunque sea, dime que algo queda entre nosotros dos

  ➔ Imperative forms with attached pronouns + "aunque sea"

  ➔ The verbs ""Miénteme"" (lie to me) and ""dime"" (tell me) are affirmative imperative forms with attached indirect object pronouns. ""aunque sea"" means "even if it is" or "at least".

• Que en tu habitación nunca sale el sol, ni existe el tiempo ni el dolor

  ➔ Double/Multiple Negation ("nunca... ni... ni...")

  ➔ In Spanish, it's common to use multiple negative words in the same sentence to reinforce the negation. Here, ""nunca"" (never) is followed by ""ni... ni..."" (neither... nor...), meaning "never... neither... nor...".

• Para qué me curaste cuando estaba herio' si hoy me dejas de nuevo el corazón partio'

  ➔ Interrogative "Para qué" + Past Tense Contrast (Preterite vs. Imperfect) + Conditional Clause

  ➔ ""Para qué"" means "For what purpose?" or "Why?". ""curaste"" is Preterite (completed action), while ""estaba herio'"" (from "herido") is Imperfect (ongoing state), showing a contrast between a single past action and a continuous past state. The ""si"" introduces a conditional clause.

• ¿Quién llenará de primaveras este enero y bajará la luna para que juguemos?

  ➔ Future Simple Tense + Subjunctive in Purpose Clauses ("para que")

  ➔ ""llenará"" and ""bajará"" are verbs in the Future Simple tense, used to ask about future actions or predictions. ""para que juguemos"" uses the subjunctive mood (""juguemos"") after ""para que"" (in order that/so that) to express purpose.

• Dar solamente aquello que te sobra Nunca fue compartir, sino dar limosna, amor

  ➔ Neuter Demonstrative Pronoun ("aquello") + Verb "sobrar" + Conjunction "sino"

  ➔ ""aquello"" refers to a vague or unspecified idea (that which). ""te sobra"" (literally "it is left over for you") means "what you have in excess" or "what you don't need." ""sino"" means "but rather" and is used to correct or contrast a negative statement with an affirmative one.

• Si no lo sabes tú, te lo digo yo

  ➔ Double Object Pronouns + Emphatic/Redundant Subject Pronouns

  ➔ ""te lo"" shows the order of indirect object pronoun (IO, ""te"") followed by direct object pronoun (DO, ""lo""). In Spanish, subject pronouns (like ""tú"" and ""yo"") are often omitted, but they are used here for emphasis, like saying "If YOU don't know it, then I will tell YOU."

• Después de la tormenta siempre llega la calma, pero sé que después de ti Después de ti no hay nada

  ➔ Impersonal Expression "No hay nada" (Total Negation)

  ➔ ""no hay nada"" is a common impersonal expression meaning "there is nothing." It combines the impersonal verb ""hay"" (there is/are) with the negative word ""no"" and the indefinite pronoun ""nada"" (nothing) to express complete absence.

• Llévame si quieres a perder a ningún destino, sin ningún porqué

  ➔ Imperative with Attached Pronoun + Conditional Clause + Negative Indefinite Adjective ("ningún")

  ➔ ""Llévame"" is an affirmative imperative with an attached direct object pronoun. ""si quieres"" is a conditional clause meaning "if you want." ""ningún"" (no/none) is a negative indefinite adjective used before a masculine singular noun (like ""destino"" or ""porqué"").
