That was from a novelistQue eso era de un novelista
Dreamers, who in lifeSoñadores, que en la vida
We must be more realisticHay que ser más realista

And now that I don't have youY ahora que no te tengo
I think about all the wasted timePienso en todo el tiempo perdido
What I lost with youQue perdí contigo

Because I loved you blindly, I didn't listenPues por amarte a ciegas, yo no escuché

There are flowers that have thornsQue hay flores que tienen espinas

Cut and hang you by a threadCorta y te guinda de un hilo

And now that I don't have youY ahora que no te tengo
