Las Palabritas

The Little Words

Las Palabritas

How easy it was to fool meQue facil fue el engañarme
and use me however you wantedy utilizarme a tu antojo
fulfill all your whimslograr todos tus caprichos
and leave me broke to the boneempeñarme hasta los ojos

You ripped my skin offTu me arrancaste la piel
you drained my bloodtu me chupaste la sangre
you're like a snakeeres como una culebra
with a good angel disguisecon un buen dizfras de angle

I was like a secret seaYo fui como un mar secreto
you hid me in your lifeme ocultaste en tu vida
I was always the ugly ducklingsiempre fui un patito feo
to your whole familypara toda tu familia

And that ugly duckling is now a swanY ese patito ya es un cisne
with its golden featherscon sus plumitas dorás
that now has someone who loves itque ya tiene a quien le quiera
without asking for anything in returnsin pedirle a cambio ná

The little words are carried by the windLas palabritas se las lleva el viento
those little words are carried by the airlas palabritas se las lleva el aire
I was the owner of your eyesyo fui dueña de tus ojos
without anyone knowingsin que lo supiera nadie

And now you see me and you shut upY ahora me ves y te callas
and even give me the side-eyey hasta me das tu de lao
like I’m some weird creaturecomo si fuera un bicho raro
and my love was a siny mi amor fuese pecao

You asked me for the moonTu me pedias la luna
I ran to get it for youyo iba corriendo a por ella
you left no more fortuneno dejaste mas fortuna
than the love of my dogque el cariño de mi perra

She noticed for sureElla si se daba cuenta
that you were playing with meque tu conmigo jugabas
that's why when she saw me cryingpor eso al verme a mi llorando
she kissed my facela carita me besaba

My friends told meMis amigos me decian
can’t you see he’s squeezing you dry?no ves que te esta exprimiendo?
you wrapped me in your worldme envolviste en tu mundo
and pushed me away from themme apartaste tu de ellos

The milk is all goneYa la teta se ha acabao
my faucet has run dryya mi grifo se ha secao
come on, go lean on another poleanda arrimate a otro palo
'cause this fool has woken upque esta tonta ha despertao
