Ni En Defensa Propia

Not Even In Self-Defense

Ni En Defensa Propia

For the first time I didn't even raise my handsPor primera vez no meti ni las manos
Not even in self-defense did I avoid the fallNi en defensa propia evite la caida
I, who was fleeing from a world of deceitYo que anduve huyendo de un mundo de engaños
Came full force into the worst of lifeVine a dar de lleno a lo peor de la vida
The first time I held you in my armsLa primera vez que te tuve en mis brazos
You were crying, saying you hadn't sinnedMe decias llorando que no habias pecado
But you already had I don't know how many failuresPero ya tenias no se cuantos fracasos
And you wanted to erase your sin with my loveY querias borrar con mi amor tu pecado

You already had your face covered in kissesYa tenias el rostro cubierto de besos
And in your being the marks that sorrows leaveY en tu ser las huellas que dejan las penas
If after loving you they treated you with contemptSi después de amarte te hicieron desprecio
I won't pay for others' debtsYo no he de pagar por las deudas ajenas

I could swear I loved you madlyTe podría jurar que te ame con locura
And never thought I would lose youY jamás pense que llegara a perderte
But instead of love, you gave me bitternessPero en vez de amores me diste amarguras
And as you are, I prefer to lose youY así como eres prefiero perderte

You already had your face covered in kissesYa tenias el rostro cubierto de besos
And in your being the mark that sorrows leaveY en tu ser la huella que dejan las penas
If after loving you they treated you with contemptSi después de amarte te hicieron desprecio
I won't pay for others' debtsYo no he de pagar por las deudas ajenas
