Para Vivir

Many times I told youMuchas veces te dije
that before doing itque antes de hacerlo
we had to think ithabía que pensarlo
through well,muy bien,
that this bond between usque esta unión de nosotros
needed some fleshle hacía falta carne
and desire too,y deseo también,
that it wasn't enoughque no bastaba
for you to understand meque me entendieras
and to be dying for me,y que murieras por mi,
that it wasn't enoughque no bastaba
for me to take refugeque en mis fracasos
in you during my failures.yo me refugiara en ti.
And now you see what happened,Y ahora ves lo que pasó,
at last it was bornal fin nació
after all these yearsal pasar de los años
the tremendous exhaustionel tremendo cansancio
that it caused in you.que provoco ya en ti.
And even though it's painfulY aunque es penoso
you have to say it.lo tienes que decir.
For my part, I hopedPor mi parte, esperaba
that one day timeque un día el tiempo
would take care of the end.se hiciera cargo del fin.
If it hadn't been that waySi así no hubiera sido
I would have keptyo habría seguido
playing at making you happy.jugando a hacerte feliz.
And even though the crying is bitterY aunque el llanto es amargo
think of the yearspiensa en los años
you have left to live,que tienes para vivir,
that my painque mi dolor
is no less and the worstno es menos y lo peor
is that I can no longer feel.es que ya no puedo sentir.
And now try to conquerY ahora trata de conquistar
with vain effortcon vano afán
this lost timeeste tiempo perdido
that leaves us defeatedque nos deja vencidos
without being able to knowsin poder conocer
that thing they call loveeso que llaman amor
to live.para vivir.
