Cenizas

Ashes

Cenizas

I saw you arrive, absent and gray, sentimentalTe vi llegar ausente y gris sentimental
And in your profile, lonelinessY en tu perfil, la soledad
You were coming from a love, running from a mistakeVenías de un amor, huías de un error
You carried the wounded hopeTraías la ilusión herida

I opened my life wideYo abrí de par en par mi vida
Until one fine day you decided to step inHasta que un buen día te animaste a entrar
I heard you say that loving is something likeTe oí decir que esto de amar es algo así
Playing a game, making a choiceComo jugar, como elegir

You brought your desire to believeTus ganas de creer traías
Love hurt, beneath your skinEl amor dolía, bajo de tu piel
The magic of feeling aliveLa magia de sentirme viva
I cling to your life, I felt like a womanMe aferro a tu vida, me sentí mujer

And then I loved youY después te amé
I gave you my love, my tears, my faithTe di mi amor, mis lágrimas, mi fe
You brought ashes of a loveCenizas de un amor traías
I closed your wounds, I healed your painCerré tus heridas, tu dolor curé
Ashes of a love, ashesCenizas de un amor, cenizas
That burn in my life, far from your skinQue arden en mi vida lejos de tu piel

You grew in me like a spring lightCreciste en mí como una luz primaveral
In the glow of an idealAl resplandor de un ideal
You had a need to giveNecesidad de dar tenías
I opened my life to you, I proposed to beYo te abrí mi vida, te propuse ser
You dreamed of a new daySoñabas con un nuevo día
And your pupils were the dawnY eran tus pupilas el amanecer

I saw you dream, I saw you laugh, I saw you cryTe vi soñar, te vi reír, te vi llorar
And share your intimacyY compartir tu intimidad
Your fragile nakedness knewTu frágil desnudez sabía
Like forbidden fruit, like the first timeA fruta prohibida, a primera vez
Your tears in raw fleshTus lágrimas en carne viva
Fell from love, moving meDel amor caían conmoviéndome

And then I loved youY después te ame
I gave you my love, my tears, my faithTe di mi amor, mis lágrimas, mi fe
You brought ashes of a loveCenizas de un amor traías
I closed your wounds, I learned to love youCerré tus heridas, te aprendí a querer
Ashes of a love, ashesCenizas de un amor, cenizas
That burn in my life, far from your skinQue arden en mi vida lejos de tu piel
