Eres tan dura

como la piedra de mi mechero

Me asaltan dudas
doubts come to me
de si te quiero

Eres tan fria como el agua
you are as cold as the water
que baja libre de la montaña.

Y no lo entiendo
and I dont understand
Fue tan efimero
it was so ephemeral
el caminar de tu dedo en mi espalda

dibujando un corazon
drawing a heart
Y pido al cielo que sepa comprender
and I ask heaven to understand (that he is able to understand or ask heaven to understand him...)
estos ataques de celos

que me entran si yo no te vuelvo a ver.

Le pido a la luna

la mia hace ya tiempo que yace fundida

Con lo que me cuesta

querer solo a ratos

mejor no te quiero, sera mas barato

Cansado de ser el triste violinista que esta en tu tejado

Tocando pa (1) el ingles siempre desafinado.

La mas madura fruta prohibida

a la tormenta que se llevo mi vida

Mientras rebusco en tu basura
while I look in your garbage
nos van creciendo los enanos

de este circo que un dia montamos

Pero que no quepa duda
but without any doubt
Muy pronto estaré liberado

Porque el tiempo todo lo cura
because time heals everything
Porque un clavo saca otro clavo
because a nail takes out another nail (2)
Siempre desafinado
always out of tune
Mientras rebusco en tu basura
while I look in your garbage
Nos van creciendo los enanos
get growing the dawrfs
De este circo que un dia montamos
of this circus that one day we set up

(1) pa= para
(2) this is a saying that means that the lost of something we like can be replace by anmother similar one (like a boyfriend(girlsfriend).
