La Vida Era Más Corta

Life Was Shorter

La Vida Era Más Corta

I hold onto feelings that dripMantengo sentimientos que gotean
That love at first smileEse amor a primera sonrisa
That envy of the breeze that touches your hairEsa envidia a la brisa que te toca el pelo
We were or we will be, it doesn't matter nowFuimos o seremos, ya no importa
We messed it up by being who we areLo arruinamos por ser como somos
We couldn't find a way to love each other, and nowNo encontramos un cómo pa' amarnos, y ahora
I feel like a wanderer through the cosmosMe siento un vagabundo por el cosmos
Trying to dodge the debrisIntentando esquivar los desechos
Of what once was a universe, the language of a kissDe lo que un día fue un universo, el idioma del beso
You thought life was shorterPensaste que la vida era más corta
Than to keep your promise of loving us foreverComo para cumplir tu promesa de amarnos para siempre

When you met meCuando me conociste
You said you wanted to kill yourselfDijiste querer matarte
Because you don't love the devilPorque no se ama al diablo
Maybe it was a sin to love each otherTal vez fue un pecado amarse

You never wanted to leaveNunca quisiste irte
You danced in SalamancaBailaste en la Salamanca
We were young loveFuimos amor temprano
And we died with pale skinY morimos con pieles blanca'

The one to blame for all this is self-esteemEl culpable de todo esto es la autoestima
Because I didn't believe you loved mePorque no me creí que me amabas
Your pupils sparkled, I didn't deserve themTus pupilas brillaban, no las merecía

I valued your kisses when I didn't have themValoré tus besos cuando no los tuve
Seeing you well hits my prideVerte bien me golpea el orgullo
Since it's your merit to suffer yourselfYa que es mérito tuyo sufrirte

You were unhappy and I feel guilty for thatEras infeliz y siento culpa en eso
Silence translated your faceEl silencio tradujo tu rostro
And I understood that we were just a process (I'm leaving)Y entendí que el nosotros fue solo el proceso (me voy)

When you met meCuando me conociste
You said you wanted to kill yourselfDijiste querer matarte
Because you don't love the devilPorque no se ama al diablo
Maybe it was a sin to love each otherTal vez fue un pecado amarse

You never wanted to leaveNunca quisiste irte
You danced in SalamancaBailaste la Salamanca
We were young loveFuimos amor temprano
And we died with pale skinMorimos con pieles blanca'

When you met meCuando me conociste
You said you wanted to kill yourselfDijiste querer matarte
Because you don't love the devilPorque no se ama al diablo
Maybe it was a sin to love each otherTal vez fue un pecado amarse

You never wanted to leaveNunca quisiste irte
You danced in SalamancaBailaste la Salamanca
We were young loveFuimos amor temprano
And we died with pale skinMorimos con pieles blanca'
