Barranquilla Bajo Cero

• By: Beéle, Myke Towers, Feid

Lyrics:

[Español]

[English]

Yeh

Yeah

Desde que te fuiste en Barranquilla 'tá nevando

Since you left, it's snowing in Barranquilla

...

...

El arcoíri' luce de colore' blanco y negro

The rainbow shows in colors of black and white

El amor e' escaso y se consigue en contrabando

Love is scarce and it's obtained through contraband

Desde que no 'tás aquí, ha cambiado todo 'e mí

Since you're not here, everything about me has changed

Quisiera

I wish

Que el reloj pa' atrás se devolviera

That the clock would turn back

Detenerte pa' que no te fuera'

To stop you so you wouldn't leave

Y pedirte que te quede', que en mi corazón te hospede'

And ask you to stay, for you to lodge in my heart

Si e' por mí toda la vida entera

If it were up to me, for all of my life

Tenerte lejos desespera

Having you far away is despairing

Está nevando hasta en la primavera

It's snowing even in the spring

Y si supiera'

And if you knew

Que el calor te lo robaste tú

That you stole the warmth

El reloj se frezó, la' flores se marchitaron

The clock froze, the flowers withered

Te alejaste y yo sentí que la vida me la quitaron

You walked away and I felt like my life was taken from me

Si rompí tu corazón, te juro que yo lo reparo

If I broke your heart, I swear I'll fix it

Pero nunca seré el mismo si de ti yo me separo

But I'll never be the same if I'm separated from you

Si supiera' que ya ni el viento sopla

If you knew that not even the wind is blowing anymore

Yo sé que a todo cambio con el tiempo uno se acopla

I know that with time one adapts to everything

En ti voy a estar pensando si algún día 'toy con otra

I'll be thinking of you if I'm ever with someone else

Cada ve' que te mencionan la mente se me alborota

Every time they mention you, my mind gets stirred up

La semana' son año', lo' meses parecen década'

The weeks are years, the months seem like decades

Me paso preguntándome a mí mismo que adónde estarás

I keep asking myself where you could be

No llamo porque si soy yo, sé que no contestarás

I don't call because if it's me, I know you won't answer

Si tiene' una mujer buena, cuídala y respétala

If you have a good woman, take care of her and respect her

Si no va' a perderla como la perdí yo

Or you're going to lose her like I lost her

E' una en un millón, este hombre se humilló

She's one in a million, this man humbled himself

A sus pies, simplemente pa' pedirle perdón

At her feet, just to ask for forgiveness

La frente en alto, tengo que aceptar que fui el que perdió pero

Head held high, I have to accept that I was the one who lost but

Quisiera

I wish

Que el reloj pa' atrás se devolviera

That the clock would turn back

Detenerte pa' que no te fuera'

To stop you so you wouldn't leave

Y pedirte que te quede', que en mi corazón te hospede'

And ask you to stay, for you to lodge in my heart

Si e' por mí toda la vida entera

If it were up to me, for all of my life

Tenerte lejos desespera

Having you far away is despairing

Está nevando hasta en la primavera

It's snowing even in the spring

Y si supiera'

And if you knew

Que el calor te lo llevaste tú

That you took the warmth

Cómo olvidar ese diciembre cuando yo te regalé el IP

How to forget that December when I gave you the IP

A mi' loqueras a toda' tú les decía' que sí

You used to say yes to all my crazy things

Escucho musica con el carro vacío

I listen to music with the car empty

Qué mierda saber que somo' desconocidos, bebé

What a pain to know that we're strangers, baby

Espero que te encuentre' bien en dónde estés

I hope you're doing well wherever you are

Amor déjate ver para que me expliqués

Love, show yourself so you can explain to me

Lo que pasó si cul'e vaina' tú y yo hicimo'

What happened, what the hell did you and I do

Volvamo' pero a nadie le decimo'

Let's get back together but we won't tell anyone

Tras de ti

After you

Otra noche tras de ti

Another night after you

Quiero cumplir to' lo que prometí, yeh

I want to fulfill everything I promised, yeah

Tú te fuiste pero lo' recuerdo' no lo' dejé ir

You left but I didn't let go of the memories

Chingábamos acapella

We used to screw acapella

En la cama yo te daba la pela

In bed I'd give you a beating

Yo bien Valija y te llegaba con velas, yeh

I'd be well-dressed and I'd show up with candles, yeah

Por una chimba como tú, yo me aguanto la espera

For a babe like you, I'll endure the wait

Tiene' el don de ser perfecta cada ve' que tú lo quiera'

You have the gift of being perfect every time you want to

Por ti voy a la guerra, nena, si me lo pidiera'

For you I'll go to war, girl, if you asked me to

Tu nombre suena má' dulce que un concierto de ópera

Your name sounds sweeter than an opera concert

Tú ere' lo má' lindo de esta atmósfera

You're the most beautiful thing in this atmosphere

Y este poeta se quedó sin palabra' pa' descifrarte

And this poet ran out of words to decipher you

Ademá' de ser una mujer, tú ere' una obra de arte

Besides being a woman, you're a work of art

Aparte descubro algo nuevo cuando te repaso

Besides, I discover something new when I go over you

Tu cuerpo desnudo e' una pintura de Picasso

Your naked body is a painting by Picasso

Ere' el sol de Miami, la luna de Paris

You're the sun of Miami, the moon of Paris

Si yo fuera un árbol, tú sería' mi raíz

If I were a tree, you would be my root

Si te va' déjame una cicatriz

If you leave, leave me a scar

Pa' recordar este dolor siempre me hizo feliz

So I can remember this pain always made me happy

No me dejes solo por favor porque a tu lado

Don't leave me alone please because by your side

La vida parece meno' peor

Life seems less worse

No me dejes sin tu resplandor que siento frío

Don't leave me without your glow because I feel cold

Cuando me hace falta tu calor

When I lack your warmth

Quisiera

I wish

Que el reloj pa' atrás se devolviera

That the clock would turn back

Detenerte pa' que no te fuera'

To stop you so you wouldn't leave

Y pedirte que te quede', que en mi corazón te hospede'

And ask you to stay, for you to lodge in my heart

Si e' por mi toda la vida entera

If it were up to me, for all of my life

Tenerte lejos desespera

Having you far away is despairing

Está nevando hasta en la primavera

It's snowing even in the spring

Y si supiera'

And if you knew

Que el calor te lo llevaste tú

That you took the warmth
