Viene y Va

Comes and Goes

Viene y Va

One day I asked you to stay by my sideUn día te pedí que te quedases a mi lado
And you replied that together until the endY tú respondiste que juntos hasta el final
You knew well that it would be complicatedTú sabías de sobra que sería complicado
But it was much harder because you didn't know how to bePero fue mucho más duro porque no supiste estar

You know how it hurts not to feel you when I wantSabes lo que duele no sentirte cuándo quiero
You know that there's no one else to take your placeSabes que no hay nadie más que ocupe tu lugar
You know the nights I missed youSabes la de noches en las que te eché de menos
Why didn't I understand your game of seeing each other without talkingPorqué no entendí tu juego de vernos para no hablar

And what does it matter, if it's almost always like thisY qué más da, si casi siempre es así
If not hearing from you has become routineSi ya se volvió rutina lo de no saber de ti
You appear and leave at your whimApareces y te marchas a tu antojo
And I look at you sideways not knowing what to sayY yo te miro de reojo sin saber ni que decir

I try to act like I don't care anymoreIntento hacer cómo que ya me da igual
Like I've overcome it, like I won't be upsetCómo que lo he superado, cómo que no voy a estar mal
But in truth, I don't know who I'm trying to foolPero en verdad no sé a quien quiero engañar
If I always need your support to not failSi necesito tu apoyo siempre para no fallar

I want to be the one who accompanies you every momentQuiero ser, quién te acompañe cada instante
To see how you growPara ver, cómo te vas haciendo grande
But I know that suddenly you'll want to push me awayPero yo sé, que de pronto querrás echarme
And I promise to take care of you like I never did beforeY prometo cuidarte cómo lo nunca lo hice antes

And I'll be back to be what we didn't sayY volveré, a ser lo que no nos dijimos
I won't make you leave my pathNo te haré, apartarte de mi camino
It's clear to me that without you it would be differentYa me quedó claro que sin ti sería distinto
And I know that if you leave, I'll be alone and extinctY sé que si te marchas, me quedo solo y extinto

You gave me strength when you whispered in my earTú me dabas fuerza si me hablabas al oído
And it was your advice that I now followY fue por tus consejos por los que ahora sigo
And even if you won't understand what I'm saying in lifeY aunque no vas a entender en la vida lo que te digo
I can't be if you don't want to be with meYo no puedo ser si tú no quieres ser conmigo

And you leave againY otra vez vuelves a irte
And again, another nightY otra vez, otra noche más
You look into my eyes, just before saying goodbyeMe miras a los ojos, justo antes de despedirte
And you coldly tell me that maybe you'll come backY me dices fríamente que ya si eso volverás

Where are you? Because without you I feel alone¿Dónde estás? Porque sin ti me siento solo
Where are you? Because I feel like I'm losing everything¿Dónde estás? Porque siento que pierdo todo
Where are you? Because I promise to go look for you¿Dónde estás? Porque prometo ir a buscarte
Wherever you go, even if I don't know howDónde vayas, aunque no sepa ni cómo

I swear I break when I feel your absenceJuro que me rompo cuándo siento que me faltas
But it hurts twice as much to know that you don't carePero duele el doble saber que a ti te da igual
And here I am, alone, writing until lateY aquí sigo solo, y escribiendo hasta las tantas
Remembering the many times you let me downRecordando tantas veces que me volviste a fallar

And today I feel like a slave to your verse and your poetryY hoy me siento esclavo de tu verso y tu poesía
To your melody and the way you walkDe tu melodía y tu forma de caminar
I who always said I could manage on my ownYo que siempre dije que solito me valía
And if it's not you who inspires me, it's emotional dependenceY si no eres tú quien me inspira, es dependencia emocional

You don't want all my regretNo te va, de todo mi arrepentimiento
You want more, and that's why you're so realQuieres más, y por eso eres tan real
I already know well that you're just a feelingYo ya sé de sobra que eres solo un sentimiento
But I lie if I say you're not essentialPero miento si aseguro que no eres fundamental

I've spent half my life getting used to your absenceLlevo media vida acostumbrándome a tu ausencia
And thanking you for being the one who didn't fail meY dándote las gracias por ser quien no me falló
There's nothing more bipolar than feeling your presenceNo hay nada más bipolar que sentir tu presencia
Because thanks to your essence, I haven't stopped being myselfPorqué gracias a tu esencia, no he dejado de ser yo

And I don't regret the times I was in my roomY no me arrepiento de las veces que estuve en mi habitación
Scared and wearing myself out over some text, and noAcojonado y desgastándome sobre algún texto, y no
There's no Javi if it's not Dante who gives him strength and passionNo existe Javi si no es Dante quien le da fuerza y pasión
And there's no union that resists if there's no inspirationY no hay unión que lo resiste si no existe inspiración

So inspire me, and don't be the one who forgets meAsí que inspírame, y no seas quién me olvida
If it turns, look at me; you know I put my faith in youSi se gira, vira y mírame; sabes que en ti yo puse mi fe
Because you were the signature that gave life to my giftPorqué tú fuiste la rúbrica que dio vida a mi don
Inspiration, don't fail me, because without you, I am nothingInspiración, no me faltes, porqué sin ti, yo no
