Estaba Escrito

It was written this wayEstaba escrito así
That I would lose youQue yo te perdería
After giving upDespués de abandonar
Almost everything for you.Casi todo por ti.

It was written thatEstaba escrito que
You would leave with everythingTú te irías con todo
On a ship by landEn un barco por tierra
Or on a train by sea.O en un tren por el mar.

And here I am anchoredY anclado estoy aquí
With your photographsCon tus fotografías
Among so many people whoEntre tanta gente que
Have little of you.Tiene poco de ti.

And sometimes I runY a veces corro yo
After some perfumeDetrás de algún perfume
That makes me rememberQue me hace recordar
So much of the one you used to wear.Tanto aquel que solías llevar.

It was written this way......etc..Estaba escrito así......etc..

From the insomnia, loveDesde el insomnio, amor
There’s time for everythingHay tiempo para todo
Even though I still lackAunque me falta aún
Time to forget.Tiempo para olvidar.

And sometimes I runY a veces corro yo
After some perfumeDetrás de algún perfume
That makes me rememberQue me hace recordar
So much of the one you used to wear.Tanto aquel que solías llevar.

It was written this wayEstaba escrito así
That I would lose youQue yo te perdería
After giving upDespués de abandonar
Almost everything for you.Casi todo por ti.

After giving upDespués de abandonar
Almost everything for you.Casi todo por ti.
