Me Llamas

• Por: José Luis Perales

Letra:

[Español]

[English]

Me llamas

You call me

Para decirme que te marchas

To tell me you're leaving

Que ya no aguantas más

That you can't take it anymore

Que ya estás harta

That you're fed up

De verle cada día

Of seeing him every day

De compartir su cama

Of sharing his bed

De domingos de fútbol

Sundays watching football

Metida en casa

Stuck at home

Me dices que el amor

You tell me that love

Igual que llega, pasa

Comes and goes just like that

Y el tuyo se marchó

And yours has left

Por la ventana

Through the window

Y que encontró un lugar

And found a place

En otra cama

In someone else's bed

Y te has pintado la sonrisa de carmín

And you've painted your smile with crimson

Y te has colgado el bolso que te regaló

And you've hung the bag he gave you

Y aquel vestido que nunca estrenaste

And that dress you never wore

Lo estrenas hoy

Today is the day you wear it

Y sales a la calle

And you go out into the street

Buscando amor

Looking for love

Y te has pintado la sonrisa de carmín

You painted your smile with crimson

Y te has colgado el bolso que te regaló

And you've hung the bag he gave you

Y aquel vestido que nunca estrenaste

And that dress you never wore

Lo estrenas hoy

Today is the day you wear it

Y sales a la calle

You head out into the street

Buscando amor

Looking for love

Me llamas

You call me

Para decirme que te engaña

To tell me he's cheating on you

Que ya de vuestro amor

That there's nothing left of your love

No queda nada

Anymore

Que se buscó otro nido

That he found a new nest

Que abandonó tu casa

That he left your house

Que te faltan caricias

That you're missing caresses

Por las mañanas

In the mornings

Me dices que el amor

You tell me that love

Igual que llega, pasa

Comes and goes just like that

Y el tuyo se marchó

And yours has left

Por la ventana

Through the window

Y que encontró un lugar

And found a place

En otra cama

In someone else's bed

Y te has pintado la sonrisa de carmín

And you've painted your smile with crimson

Y te has colgado el bolso que te regaló

And you've hung the bag he gave you

Y aquel vestido que nunca estrenaste

And that dress you never wore

Lo estrenas hoy

Today is the day you wear it

Y sales a la calle

You head out into the street

Buscando amor

Looking for love

Y te has pintado la sonrisa de carmín

You painted your smile with crimson

Y te has colgado el bolso que te regaló

And you've hung the bag he gave you

Y aquel vestido que nunca estrenaste

And that dress you never wore

Lo estrenas hoy

Today is the day you wear it

Y sales a la calle

You head out into the street

Buscando amor

Looking for love
