Tuve Que Correr

I Had to Run

Tuve Que Correr

I had to runTuve que correr
when life said: 'go'cuando la vida dijo: "ve"
There was no way to stopNo hubo manera de pararme
Running was flyingCorrer que fue volar
Drinking the whole sea in one gulpBeber de un solo trago todo el mar
And water didn't quench my thirstY no sació mi sed el agua
I took the path without knowingTomé el sendero sin saber
that I was moving away to never returnque me alejaba para no volver
Sweet as honeyDulce como miel
to feel the touch of her skinprobar el roce de su piel
She on the ground, me in the airElla en el suelo, yo en el aire
Sweet but cruelDulce pero cruel
filled my world with paperllenó mi mundo de papel
I never thought I would freezeJamás pensé que llegaría a helarme
That I would lose the warmthQue perdería el calor
and with time, the reasony con el tiempo la razón
On the way, I stumbledEn el camino tropecé
upon that stone from which I startedcon esa piedra desde la que arranqué
I took the path without knowingTomé el sendero sin saber
that I was moving away to never returnque me alejaba para no volver
On the way, I foundEn el camino encontré
what I never thought I would havelo que jamás pensé tener
I had to runTuve que correr
when in the wind I could hearcuando en el viento pude oir
that just as I came, I would have to leaveque igual que vine habría de marcharme,
that just as I came, I would have to leaveque como vine habría de marcharme
