Description
Ballads sometimes sound like farewell letters written not with a pen, but with a voice. Here, the words about “the end of the show” sound almost official, but they are accompanied by a thread of stubborn hope: maybe one more try, one more chord?
There is a lot of air between the lines in the song - pauses that contain resentment, tenderness, and memories of times when everything was brighter. The funny thing here is that even the breakup is presented as a stage performance: with applause, spotlights, and slightly smudged makeup.
And yet, it is not the drama that is most captivating, but the warm stubbornness. It's as if someone is holding your hand and asking, “Don't let go yet. Let me at least play this song to the end.”
Lyrics and translation
Original
Dices que se ha acabado el show
Que te tengo medio abandonada
No sé si ya decir adiós
Por tocar la cara despintada
Hace tiempo que siento que llega el momento
Tan cerca y tan lejos del mismo recuerdo
Dame la mano aunque me quieras soltar (me quieras soltar)
Dime otra cosa que se pueda intentar
No imagino una balada más sin ti
Y tú a mi lado es donde quieres estar
No me dejes, no, no me dejes sin canción
Hagamos un intento más
Puede que aún tengamos algo que contar
Si no hay palabras al final
En silencio nos marchamos y ya
No imagino una balada más sin ti
Y tú a mi lado es donde quieres estar
No me dejes, no, no me dejes sin canción
Hace tiempo que siento que llega el momento
Tan cerca y tan lejos del mismo recuerdo
Dame la mano aunque me quieras soltar (me quieras soltar)
Ninguna otra cosa que se pueda entender
No imagino una balada más sin ti
Y tú a mi lado es donde quieres estar
No me dejes, no, no me dejes sin canción
No imagino una balada más sin ti
Y tú a mi lado es donde quieres estar
No me dejes, no, no me dejes, no
No te alejes, no, no me dejes sin canción
English translation
You say the show is over
that I have half abandoned you
I don't know if I can say goodbye
For touching the unpainted face
I have felt for a long time that the time has come
So close and so far from the same memory
Give me your hand even if you want to let me go (you want to let me go)
Tell me something else that can be tried
I can't imagine another ballad without you
And you by my side is where you want to be
Don't leave me, no, don't leave me without a song
Let's try one more time
We may still have something to tell
If there are no words at the end
In silence we left and now
I can't imagine another ballad without you
And you by my side is where you want to be
Don't leave me, no, don't leave me without a song
I have felt for a long time that the time has come
So close and so far from the same memory
Give me your hand even if you want to let me go (you want to let me go)
Nothing else that can be understood
I can't imagine another ballad without you
And you by my side is where you want to be
Don't leave me, no, don't leave me without a song
I can't imagine another ballad without you
And you by my side is where you want to be
Don't leave me, no, don't leave me, no
Don't walk away, no, don't leave me without a song
