A Nadie

To Nobody

A Nadie

What is loveQué cosa es el amor
A distant cousin of painMedio pariente del dolor
That neither you nor I experiencedQue a ti y a mí no nos tocó
That has not known, nor wanted, nor been able toQue no ha sabido, ni ha querido, ni ha podido
That's why you're not with mePor eso no estás conmigo

Because we don't know each otherPorque no nos conocemos
And we don't love each otherY tampoco nos queremos
Because I've never looked at youPorque nunca te he mirado
Nor wake up by your sideNi despiertas a mi lado

Because I don't know if you likePorque no sé si te gustan
Milanesas like I doComo a mí las milanesas
Because I don't know where you livePorque no sé dónde vives
Or how you season themNi con qué las aderezas

Because you may lackPorque puede que te falte
Antagonistic enthusiasmEntusiasmo antagonista
Because you may have too muchPorque puede que te sobre
Moralizing and be a conservativeMoralina y seas panista

What is loveQué cosa es el amor
A distant cousin of painMedio pariente del dolor
That neither you nor I experiencedQue a ti y a mí no nos tocó
That has not known, nor wanted, nor been able toQue no ha sabido, ni ha querido, ni ha podido
That's why you're not with mePor eso no estás conmigo

Because we didn't meetPorque no nos conocimos
And in the time we lostY en el tiempo que perdimos
Each one lived their partCada quien vivió su parte
But each one separatelyPero cada quien aparte

Because what has never ignitedPorque no puede apagarse
Cannot be extinguishedLo que nunca se ha encendido
Because what has never rottedPorque no puede ser sano
Cannot be healthyLo que nunca se ha podrido

Because you would never understandPorque nunca entenderías
My tiredness, my quirksMis cansancios, mis manías
Because you didn't carePorque a ti te dio lo mismo
If I fell into the abyssQue cayera en el abismo

This love you despisedEste amor que despreciaste
Because you never looked for mePorque nunca me buscaste
Where I wouldn't have beenDonde yo no hubiera estado
Or wouldn't have fallen in loveNi me hubiera enamorado

What is loveQué cosa es el amor
A distant cousin of painMedio pariente del dolor
That neither you nor I experiencedQue a ti y a mí no nos tocó
That has not known, nor wanted, nor been able toQue no ha sabido, ni ha querido, ni ha podido
That's why you're not with mePor eso no estás conmigo
That's why I'm not with youPor eso no estoy contigo
