The Snow

La Nieve

Fire needs, whoosh, oxygenEl fuego necesita, fuu, oxígeno
That's why if you blow on it, it growsPor eso, si tú lo soplas, crece
Blow on it hard!¡Sóplalo fuerte!
Whoosh!¡Fuu!

Before, time knew how to waitAntes, el tiempo sabía esperar
It kept pace with me, at my speedIba a mi lado, a mi velocidad
It was my friend, my partner in crimeEra mi amigo, mi partner in crime
And lately, something strange is starting to happenY, últimamente, algo raro le empieza a pasar

That, being with you in the seaQue, estando contigo en el mar
While we play, the hours slip awayMientras jugamos, las horas se van
Like the snow, when I try to touch itComo la nieve, al quererla tocar
It slips through my fingersSe me escapa

I forgive you that beautiful lieYo te perdono esa bella mentira
That you played with me to be mineQue hayas jugado conmigo a ser mía
'Cause I know it has an expiration datePorque yo sé que es con fecha de caducidad

You came with wings, I already knewViniste con alas, yo ya lo sabía
Since you arrived, you were leaving meDesde que llegaste, ya te me ibas
But one thing I can never forgivePero una cosa jamás te podré perdonar
Is that, unintentionally, you taught time to flyQue, sin querer, le enseñaras al tiempo a volar

I know you like to play with everythingSé que con todo te gusta jugar
And that you take time out for a strollY que te llevas al tiempo a pasear
If it's a toy, put it back in its placeSi es un juguete, ponlo en su lugar
'Cause lately, I struggle to find it againQue, últimamente, me cuesta volverlo a encontrar

Love (slowly)Amor (despacio)
Either take it slowerO llévatelo más despacio
Or take me to the place where it goesO llévame al lugar al que se van
So I can bring it backPara traerlo yo de vuelta

I forgive you that beautiful lieYo te perdono esa bella mentira
That you played with me to be mineQue hayas jugado conmigo a ser mía
'Cause I know it has an expiration datePorque yo sé que es con fecha de caducidad

You came with wings, I already knewViniste con alas, yo ya lo sabía
Since you arrived, you were leaving meDesde que llegaste, ya te me ibas
But one thing I can never forgivePero una cosa jamás te podré perdonar
Is that, unintentionally, you taught time to flyQue, sin querer, le enseñaras al tiempo a volar

Tell me why you taught time to flyDime por qué le enseñaste al tiempo a volar
