Pájaro Herido

Wounded Bird

Pájaro Herido

I don't pretend to pretend that you love meNo pretendo fingir que me quieres
Nor have I wanted to learn to forget youNi he querido aprender a olvidarte
Even though you have taken a partAunque te hayas llevado una parte
Of my heartDe mi corazón

I gain nothing by sticking pinsNada gano clavando alfileres
Into a doll that has come apartA un muñeco que se ha descosido
Nor does the beat of a heartbeat move meNi me mueve el compás de un latido
From our songDe nuestra canción

I simply let you goSimplemente dejé que te fueras
There were no screams, no macabre scenesNo hubo gritos, ni escenas macabras
Nor did I say a single wordNi te dije una sola palabra
That wasn't goodbyeQue no fuera adiós

The stairs led to the sidewalkLa escalera llevaba a la acera
Of aimless and brakeless stepsDe los pasos sin rumbo y sin frenos
Since then, I only missDesde entonces solo echo de menos
When we were twoCuando éramos dos

And I know that forgettingY sé que el olvido
Is the path of a wounded birdEs la ruta de un pájaro herido
But now I have too many hoursPero ahora me sobran las horas
I don't waste a second, it hurts to liveNo pierdo un segundo, me duele vivir
It hurts to liveMe duele vivir
And I stay in the deep hollowY me quedo en el hueco profundo
Of this world so full of youDe este mundo tan lleno de ti

I have tried to find our caseHe intentado encontrar nuestro caso
In the gray page of eventsEn la página gris de sucesos
I took a plane backHe tomado un avión de regreso
From heaven to MadridDel cielo a Madrid

The best thing about drinking from failureLo mejor de beber del fracaso
Is thinking about the next glassEs pensar en el vaso siguiente
The worst thing about being alone is the peopleLo peor de estar solo es la gente
Who talk to me about youQue me habla de ti

I simply let you goSimplemente dejé que te fueras
There were no screams, no macabre scenesNo hubo gritos, ni escenas macabras
Nor did I say a single wordNi te dije una sola palabra
That wasn't goodbyeQue no fuera adiós

The stairs led to the sidewalkLa escalera llevaba a la acera
Of aimless and brakeless stepsDe los pasos sin rumbo y sin frenos
Since then, I only missDesde entonces solo echo de menos
When we were twoCuando éramos dos

And I know that forgettingY sé que el olvido
Is the path of a wounded birdEs la ruta de un pájaro herido
But now I have too many hoursPero ahora me sobran las horas
I don't waste a second, it hurts to liveNo pierdo un segundo, me duele vivir
It hurts to liveMe duele vivir
And I stay in the deep hollowY me quedo en el hueco profundo
Of this world so full of youDe este mundo tan lleno de ti
