Derrumbe

Collapse

Derrumbe

You barely drew a cardSacaste apenas un naipe
But it was the one holding the castlePero era el que sostenía el castillo
Our love gave way at the seamsNuestro amor se dio por las costuras
And the soldering on the rings came undoneY se abrió la soldadura en los anillos

We were left out in the openQuedamos a la intemperie
With no 'maybe' to shelter usSin un tal vez que nos resguardara
Not a single spring remainedNo quedó ni una primavera
That hadn't suddenly turned sourQue de golpe no se hubiera vuelto cara

The cards were falling, time was bleedingLas cartas caían, el tiempo sangraba
And every structure of every poemY toda estructura de toda poesía
Was crumblingSe desmoronaba

The house was fragile, the roof caving inLa casa era endeble, el techo se hunde
And you and I embraced, salvaging what we couldY tú y yo abrazados, salvando los muebles
In the midst of the collapseEn pleno derrumbe

The table falls, the chairs fallCae la mesa, caen las sillas
The bed falls and shattersCae la cama y se hace astillas
The paintings fall, the vases fallCaen los cuadros, los floreros
The shoes, the plates, the coat racks fallLos zapatos, los platos, percheros
Photos fall, remote controls, notebooks fallCaen fotos, controles remotos, cuadernos
Winter clothes, children, kisses, horns fallLa ropa de invierno, los hijos, los besos, los cuernos
Toothbrushes, unfinished plans fallCepillos de dientes, los planes pendientes

You barely drew a cardSacaste apenas un naipe
But it was the one holding the castlePero era el que sostenía el castillo
