Mi Propio Invento (Frankestein)

My Own Invention (Frankenstein)

Mi Propio Invento (Frankestein)

Since you didn't exist, I invented youComo no existías te inventé
I put you together piece by pieceFui armándote pieza por pieza
Just as I dreamed youJustamente como te soñé
And as if I were FrankensteinY como si fuera Frankenstein
I made you from head to toeTe hice de los pies a la cabeza

So you could breathePara que pudieras respirar
I filled your lungs with my breathLlené tus pulmones con mi aliento
I made you free to think and actTe hice libre de pensar y de actuar
Because nothing excited me morePues no había que me emocionara más
Than seeing my own invention walkQue ver caminar mi propio invento

And I adored you but happinessY te adoré pero la felicidad
Is not part of this taleNo es parte de este cuento
Because I forgotPorque olvidé
That beings like you have no feelingsQue los seres como tú no tienen sentimientos

And you left without saying goodbyeY te has marchado sin decirme adiós
Taking my joy with youLlevándote contigo mi alegría
What a contradiction that in giving you loveVaya contradicción que por darte amor
I gave you life that you now take from meTe di la vida que ahora tú me quitas

If you were made to perfectionSi estabas hecha a la perfección
But I admit it was my faultMas reconozco que fue culpa mía
That I made a mistake, a small mistakeQue cometí un error, un pequeño error
I forgot to give you a heartSe me olvidó ponerte un corazón

I took care of the details in the endCuidé los detalles al final
And instead of nails in your neckY en vez de unos clavos en el cuello
I put everything in its placePuse cada cosa en su lugar
And I signed you by painting a moleY te firmé pintándote un lunar
The brown color of your hairDel color marrón de tu cabello

And I adored you but happinessY te adoré pero la felicidad
Is not part of this taleNo es parte de este cuento
Because I forgotPorque olvidé
That beings like you have no feelingsQue los seres como tú no tienen sentimientos

And you left without saying goodbyeY te has marchado sin decirme adiós
Taking my joy with youLlevándote contigo mi alegría
What a contradiction that in giving you loveVaya contradicción que por darte amor
I gave you life that you now take from meTe di la vida que ahora tú me quitas

If you were made to perfectionSi estabas hecha a la perfección
But I admit it was my faultMas reconozco que fue culpa mía
That I made a mistake, a small mistakeQue cometí un error, un pequeño error
I forgot to give you a heartSe me olvidó ponerte un corazón

And you left without saying goodbyeY te has marchado sin decirme adiós
Taking my joy with youLlevándote contigo mi alegría
What a contradiction that in giving you loveVaya contradicción que por darte amor
I gave you life that you now take from meTe di la vida que ahora tú me quitas

If you were made to perfectionSi estabas hecha a la perfección
But I admit it was my faultMas reconozco que fue culpa mía
That I made a mistake, a small mistakeQue cometí un error, un pequeño error
I forgot to give you a heartSe me olvidó ponerte un corazón
