Description
It is curious how one can list in such detail everything that did not happen, and yet give the impression that this was the most important thing. It is like a list of empty lines that were never filled in, with fragments of the unsaid remaining in the margins.
These “never”s don't sound cold, but exciting - like a game of denial for speed. No kisses, no quarrels, no familiar scenes, and it is precisely in this that there is a burning intimacy. Like two trains traveling on parallel tracks: they did not collide, but the rumble of the passing cars still rings in your ears for a long time.
And now the rejection of fairy tales sounds like an admission of truth, and what is left unsaid becomes far more honest than any promises. Sometimes the absence of shared mornings and wet sheets is the very story that clings more strongly than novels lived to the bone.
Lyrics and translation
Original
Nunca nos dimos un beso, nunca más de dos palabras
Nunca compartimos techo, nunca te sentí mi casa
Nunca fuimos los primeros, nunca: "Ven y a ver qué pasa"
Nunca amanecí en tus miedos, ni en tu cama
Nunca la ropa en el suelo, nunca en un cuento de hadas
Ni una falta de respeto, ni un: "Estás tan guapa"
Nunca rebañé tus huesos, ni saltaron las alarmas
Nunca supe más de ti que lo que callas
Te lo digo al revés por si entiendes
Que no importa si a veces
Enseñas los dientes
Muérdeme, muérdeme
Te lo digo al revés por si entiendes
Que no importa si a veces
Enseñas los dientes
Muérdeme, muérdeme
No jugamos en invierno por debajo de la manta
Ni salimos nunca ilesos, ni perdimos mil batallas
Ni siquiera un triste verso, ni un: "Te llamaré mañana"
Ni un minuto de tu tiempo
Nunca nos dijimos tanto solo con una mirada
Nunca hubo un: "No te aguanto", ni un: "Levántame la falda"
Nunca provoqué tu llanto, ni esperaste mi llamada
Nunca me enteré de cuánto me pensabas
Te lo digo al revés por si entiendes
Que no importa si a veces
Enseñas los dientes
Muérdeme, muérdeme
Te lo digo al revés por si entiendes
Que no importa si a veces
Enseñas los dientes
Muérdeme, muérdeme
Ni te he visto enamorada, ni hubo 12 aniversarios
Fuimos balas disparadas en sentido contrario
Nunca hubo madrugadas, ni paseos por el barrio
Ni hubo sábanas mojadas, ni peleas a diario
Ni anda, bésame y te marchas, ni te quedas porque quieres
Ni la vida es una mierda, ni esta historia ya no duele
Te lo digo al revés por si entiendes
Que no importa si a veces
Enseñas los dientes
Muérdeme, muérdeme
Te lo digo al revés por si entiendes
Que no importa si a veces
Enseñas los dientes
Muérdeme, muérdeme
English translation
We never kissed, never more than two words
We never shared a roof, I never felt like my home
We were never the first, never: "Come and see what happens"
I never woke up in your fears, nor in your bed
Never clothes on the floor, never in a fairy tale
Not a lack of respect, not a: "You're so pretty"
I never picked your bones, nor did the alarms go off
I never knew more about you than what you say
I'm telling you the other way around in case you understand.
That it doesn't matter if sometimes
you show your teeth
bite me, bite me
I'm telling you the other way around in case you understand.
That it doesn't matter if sometimes
you show your teeth
bite me, bite me
We don't play under the blanket in winter
We never came out unscathed, nor did we lose a thousand battles
Not even a sad verse, not a: "I'll call you tomorrow"
Not a minute of your time
We never said so much to each other just with a look
There was never a: "I can't stand you", nor a: "Lift my skirt"
I never caused you to cry, nor did you wait for my call
I never realized how much you thought of me
I'm telling you the other way around in case you understand.
That it doesn't matter if sometimes
you show your teeth
bite me, bite me
I'm telling you the other way around in case you understand.
That it doesn't matter if sometimes
you show your teeth
bite me, bite me
I have not seen you in love, nor have there been 12 anniversaries
We were bullets fired in the opposite direction
There were never early mornings, nor walks around the neighborhood
There were no wet sheets, no daily fights.
Don't go, kiss me and leave, don't stay because you want to.
Not even life is shit, not even this story doesn't hurt anymore
I'm telling you the other way around in case you understand.
That it doesn't matter if sometimes
you show your teeth
bite me, bite me
I'm telling you the other way around in case you understand.
That it doesn't matter if sometimes
you show your teeth
bite me, bite me
