I told CinderellaLe dijera a cenicienta
That it wasn't one o'clockQue no era a la una
And lost my fortuneY perdiera mi fortuna
For bluffingPor ir de farol
Maybe you were the swanTal vez tú fueras el cisne
Of my thousand lagoonsDe mis mil lagunas
And your feathers matchedY tus plumas coincidieran
My bad moodCon mi mal humor

MaybeTal vez
I touched you with the handTe tocara con la mano
That rocked the cradleQue mecía la cuna
And slept for your lipsY durmiera por tus labios
A thousand kisses of hungerMil besos de hambruna
To eat on an empty stomachPara comer en ayunas
The moon and the sunLa luna y el sol

MaybeTal vez
I've had more beerHe tomado más cerveza
Than good measuresQue buenas medidas
And I've written more goodbyesY he escrito más despedidas
Than love lettersQue cartas de amor
I've caused more sorrowHe dado más veces pena
Than welcomeQue la bienvenida
And I've said more times go awayY he dicho más veces fuera
Than please comeQue ven por favor

MaybeTal vez
For not being a guerrilla fighterPor no ser un guerrillero
Of lost causesDe causas perdidas
I left memoriesMe dejara los recuerdos
Without saying goodbyeSin guardar partida
And now I die more in lifeY ahora muera mas en vida
Than in a role-playing gameQue un juego de rol

MaybeTal vez
I've said your name morePronunciara más tu nombre
Than any alphabetQue algun alfabeto
And sold my sonnetsY vendiera mis sonetos
To the highest bidderAl mejor postor
Maybe I've missed more trainsTal vez perdiera más trenes
By standing stillQuedándome quieto
Than by saying noQue diciendo: No

MaybeTal vez
I've kissed more lipsHaya besado más labios
Than metro stationsQue bocas de metro
And kept a bad secretY guardara un mal secreto
Before holding a grudgeAntes que un rencor
I've made more people sadHe puesto más veces triste
By disrespectingFaltando al respeto
Than disrespecting myselfQue faltando yo

MaybeTal vez
I believe less in luckCrea menos en la suerte
And more in destinyY mas en el destino
When I imagineCuando me imagino
That there's a pathQue existe un camino
That leads me to the fineQue me lleva al fino
Thread of your voiceHilo de tu voz
And when I climb itY cuando lo trepo
I fall into your hairMe caigo en tu pelo
And a whirlwindY algun torbellino
Swiftly absorbs meMe absorbe veloz
And upon reaching heavenY al llegar al cielo
I see a matchmakerVeo a un celestino

Playing at the casinoJugar al casino
Of premature loveDel amor precoz
Exchanging arrows for chipsCambiando flechas por fichas
And boxes of wineY cajas de vino
And sticking heartsY pegando corazones
In the intestinesEn los intestinos
Of those who lovedDe los que se amaron
And missed their chanceY se les pasó el arroz

MaybeTal vez
I have worse memoryTenga más mala memoria
Than good excusesQue buenas excusas
And much worse at losingY mucho peor perder
Than at lyingQue mejor mentir
Maybe more time will passTal vez pasará más tiempo
With Russian rouletteCon ruletas rusas
Out of fear of the caliber you usePor miedo al calibre que usas
With each beatEn cada latir

Shooting at snakesDisparando hacia serpientes
Of any medusaDe cualquier medusa
Being more of a bumpkinSiendo más de ser cateto
Than a hypotenuseQue de hipotenusa
Not knowing how to lowerNo saber bajar la blusa
The blouse of your smileDe tu sonreir

MaybeTal vez
I've been a worse pirateHe sido peor pirata
Than a sailorQue mal marinero
And I've traded a mermaidY he cambiado a una sirena
For a rock & rollPor un rock&roll
And now only soundY ahora solo suenan
The strings of memoriesLas cuerdas de los recuerdos
And the blues of a goodbyeY el blues de un adiós

MaybeTal vez
This damn postscriptEsta maldita posdata
Won't end with I love youNo acabe en te quiero
Because I put a firewallPorque puse un cortafuegos
At the door of the sunEn puerta del sol
Wanting it to only bePor querer que solo fuera
The gate of heavenLa puerta del cielo
We didn't both enterNo entramos los dos
