Si me dejas ahora, no seré capaz de sobrevivir If you leave me now, I won't be able to survive 00:07
Me encadenaste a tu falda y enseñaste a mi alma a depender de ti You chained me to your skirt and taught my soul to depend on you 00:13
Ataste mi piel a tu piel y tu boca a mi boca You bound my skin to yours and your mouth to mine 00:20
Clavaste tu mente a la mía como una espada en la roca You plunged your mind into mine like a sword into the rock 00:27
Y ahora me dejas, como si fuera yo cualquier cosa And now you leave me, as if I were just anything 00:34
Si me dejas ahora, no seré capaz de volver a sentir If you leave me now, I won't be able to feel again 00:43
Me alejaste de todo y ahora dejas que me hunda en el lodo You pushed me away from everything and now you let me sink into the mud 00:50
Me cuesta tanto creer que no tengas corazón It's so hard for me to believe you have no heart 00:57
Que yo he sido en tu cadena de amor, tan solo un eslabón That I have been just a link in your chain of love 01:03
Y, en tu escalera, un peldaño al que no te importa pisar y hacerle daño And on your ladder, a step you don’t care to step on and hurt 01:10
Estoy preso entre las redes de un poema I'm trapped among the webs of a poem 01:19
Eres tú quien me puede ayudar o me condena It's you who can help me or condemn me 01:24
Eres lo mejor de mi pasado You're the best part of my past 01:31
Eres tú quien aún me tiene enamorado You're the one still keeping me in love 01:36
Eres tú, solo tú You're you, only you 01:44
Eres tú, solo tú You're you, only you 01:51
01:59
Si me dejas ahora, mi espíritu se irá tras de ti If you leave me now, my spirit will go after you 02:06
Cabalgará día y noche, sintiéndose soñador y Quijote It will ride day and night, feeling like a dreamer and Don Quixote 02:13
Porque ataste mi piel a tu piel y tu boca a mi boca Because you tied my skin to yours and your mouth to mine 02:19
Clavaste tu mente a la mía, como una espada en la roca You plunged your mind into mine like a sword into the rock 02:26
Y ahora me dejas, como si fuera yo cualquier cosa And now you leave me, as if I were just anything 02:33
