No Es Justo

It's Not Fair

No Es Justo

So that in another life it goes wellPara que en otra vida salga bien
In this one, it had to go wrong for usEn esta tuvo que salirnos mal
Neither together could we be nor apart can we standNi juntos supimos ser ni separados sabemos estar
Your dad passed away, I went to his funeralMurió tu papá, fui a su funeral
I promised your mom that I would take care of youLe prometí a tu mamá que te iba a cuidar

And I always keep my promisesY yo siempre cumplo con lo que prometo
But I can't if you leave me incompletePero no puedo si me dejas incompleto
And I haven't been the same since thenY no he vuelto a ser el mismo desde entonces
Your presence haunts me at nightTu presencia me persigue por las noches
And your absence leaves a huge voidY tu ausencia me deja un vacío enorme
So much that I think of you and hear your name echoTanto que te pienso y oigo con eco tu nombre

And it's not fairY no es justo
That moving forward feels like betraying youQue tirar hacia delante lo vea como traicionarte
I swear it's not fairTe juro que no es justo
That meeting someone feels like failing youQue conocer a alguien se sienta como fallarte
I swear it's not fairTe juro que no es justo

That your gaze corners meQue tu mirada me arrincone
That I always carry my heart wrapped in cottonQue lleve siempre el corazón entre algodones
That I distance myself from what makes me betterQue me aleje de lo que hace que mejore
And I don't commit out of fear of being abandonedY no me comprometa por miedo a que me abandonen

How do I get this smell of Zadig out of my clothes?¿Cómo quito de mi ropa este olor a Zadig?
Out of my head, the work of Marina AbramovićDe mi cabeza la obra de Marina Abramović
The kisses I didn't give you, that black skirt I died in when I saw youLos besos que no te di, la falda esa negra con la que morí cuando te vi
How do I avoid your street in Madrid?¿Cómo esquivo tu calle en Madrid?
The song of mine that you likedDe mis canciones la que te gustaba a ti
I guess it’s true, I just have to admitSupongo que sí, que solo queda admitir
That the one who made me cry the most, was the one who made me laugh the bestQue quien peor me hizo llorar, fue quien mejor me hizo reír

And it's not fairY no es justo
That moving forward feels like betraying youQue tirar hacia delante lo vea como traicionarte
I swear it's not fairTe juro que no es justo
That meeting someone feels like failing youQue conocer a alguien se sienta como fallarte
I swear it's not fairTe juro que no es justo

That your gaze corners meQue tu mirada me arrincone
That I always carry my heart wrapped in cottonQue lleve siempre el corazón entre algodones
That I distance myself from what makes me betterQue me aleje de lo que hace que mejore
And I don't commit out of fear of being abandonedY no me comprometa por miedo a que me abandonen

I always crash into what's aheadSiempre me estrello con lo que hay delante
For looking backPor andar mirando para atrás
If this sky isn't going to clear upSi este cielo no va a despejarse
Why do I keep going out to wait?Porque sigo saliendo a esperar
I said without meaning it that you should leaveDije sin querer lo de que te marchases
It hurt not to see you or hesitateMe dolió no verte ni dudar
If you're blowing everything upSi estás saltando todo por los aires
Why does my mind stay the same?¿Por qué mi cabeza sigue igual?

And it's not fairY no es justo
That moving forward feels like betraying youQue tirar hacia delante lo vea como traicionarte
I swear it's not fairTe juro que no es justo
That meeting someone feels like failing youQue conocer a alguien se sienta como fallarte
I swear it's not fairTe juro que no es justo

That your gaze corners meQue tu mirada me arrincone
That I always carry my heart wrapped in cottonQue lleve siempre el corazón entre algodones
That I distance myself from what makes me betterQue me aleje de lo que hace que mejore
And I don't commit out of fear of being abandonedY no me comprometa por miedo a que me abandonen
It's not fairNo es justo
