Ella Es, Tú Fuiste

She Is, You Were

Ella Es, Tú Fuiste

I don't know how you could ask meNo sé cómo has podido preguntarme
What she's likeQue como es ella
How she feelsQue como siente
If she's very beautifulQue si es muy bella

Maybe it will be difficult to explainTal vez será difícil explicarme
I don't want to hurt youNo quiero herirte
You gave me a lotMe diste mucho
I loved you so muchTanto te quise

Forgive me if my words hurt youPerdona si te hieren mis palabras
You yourself asked me to express itTú misma me has pedido que lo exprese
Sometimes truths are bitterA veces las verdades son amargas
But it's fair to say them indifferentPero es justo decirlas indolentes

While she is a flowing springMientras ella es manantial que fluye
You were a torrent that destroys everythingTú fuiste torrente que todo destruye
While she is a breeze in springMientras ella es brisa en primavera
You were a cyclone in a meadowTú fuiste ciclón en una pradera

While she is calm in my desiresMientras ella es calma en mis anhelos
You were the cause of bitter sleepless nightsTú fuiste motivo de amargos desvelos
While she is the peace I seekMientras ella es esa paz que busco
You were the uncertainty of an abrupt awakeningFuiste incertidumbre de un despertar brusco

But I could wake upPero pude al despertar
Convince myself that in the endConvencerme que al final
You were not what I expected to findTú no eras lo que yo espere encontrar

Maybe in our case there are no culpritsTal vez en nuestro caso no hay culpables
InexperienceLa inexperiencia
Maybe timeTal vez el tiempo
Or unconsciousnessO la inconsciencia

Forgive me if my words hurt youPerdona si te hieren mis palabras
You yourself asked me to express itTú misma me has pedido que lo exprese
Sometimes truths are bitterA veces las verdades son amargas
But it's a pleasure to say them indifferentPero es gusto decirlas indolentes

While she is calm in my desiresMientras ella es calma en mis anhelos
You were the cause of bitter sleepless nightsTú fuiste motivo de amargos desvelos
While she is more than a slave queenMientras ella es más que reina esclava
You were a void where there was nothingTú fuiste un vacío donde no había nada

While she is a flowing springMientras ella es manantial que fluye
You were a torrent that destroys everythingTú fuiste torrente que todo destruye
While she is a breeze in springMientras ella es brisa en primavera
You were a cyclone in a meadowTú fuiste ciclón en una pradera

But I could wake upPero pude al despertar
Convince myself that in the endConvencerme que al final
You were not what I expected to findTú no eras lo que yo espere encontrar
