Description
Love, as it turns out, does not always behave nobly - sometimes it leaves, slamming the door behind it, and sometimes it stays, but so awkwardly and coldly that it becomes worse. Here, it's more about the latter: the smiles in the photos are still warm, but inside there is already an emptiness, stretching like an ellipsis at the end of an unspoken phrase.
There is honesty in this text - the kind that stings your eyes but makes it easier to breathe. It's like deciding to blow out a candle so that it doesn't burn itself out, leaving only wax and soot behind. The irony is that the ending can also be a liberation - even if your heart is scratched by the realization that the fairy tale is over, the credits have rolled, and no “telenovela” has happened.
Lyrics and translation
Original
A veces es mejor decir las cosas aunque duelan, no dejar encendida una vela solamente pa que se consuma sin necesidad.
A veces el amor no es como las telenovelas.
Aunque con unos el tiempo vuela, hay otros que ni se despiden cuando se van.
Aunque duele el amor cuando se ha ido, duelen más los puntos suspensivos.
Cuando el amor se va, ah, ah y no es correspondido, aunque no se ha ido, duele más que si se fuera, ah, ah.
Porque cuando se va, ah, ah, aunque queda el corazón herido, el corazón por fin ha comprendido que es el final aunque duela, ah, ah.
Aunque sonriamos en la foto, lo de nosotros ya estaba roto.
Y perdona si me equivoco, pero vos no sos el mismo y lo noto.
Porque aunque sonriamos en la foto, lo de nosotros ya estaba roto.
Y perdona si me equivoco, pero vos no sos el mismo y lo noto.
Aunque duele el amor cuando se ha ido, duelen más los puntos suspensivos.
Cuando el amor se va, ah, ah y no es correspondido, aunque no se ha ido, duele más que si se fuera, ah, ah.
Porque cuando se va, ah, ah, aunque queda el corazón herido, el corazón por fin ha comprendido que es el final aunque duela, ah, ah.
Cuando el amor se va, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah.
Cuando el amor se va, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah.
Cuando el amor se va, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah.
Cuando el amor se va, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah.
A veces es mejor decir las cosas aunque duelan, no dejar encendida una vela solamente pa que se consuma sin necesidad.
English translation
Sometimes it is better to say things even if they hurt, not to leave a candle lit just so that it burns out unnecessarily.
Sometimes love is not like soap operas.
Although with some time flies, there are others who don't even say goodbye when they leave.
Although love hurts when it's gone, ellipses hurt more.
When love leaves, ah, ah and it is not reciprocated, although it has not left, it hurts more than if it left, ah, ah.
Because when it leaves, ah, ah, although the heart is wounded, the heart has finally understood that it is the end even if it hurts, ah, ah.
Although we smile in the photo, what we had was already broken.
And forgive me if I'm wrong, but you are not the same and I notice it.
Because even though we smile in the photo, what about us was already broken.
And forgive me if I'm wrong, but you are not the same and I notice it.
Although love hurts when it's gone, ellipses hurt more.
When love leaves, ah, ah and it is not reciprocated, although it has not left, it hurts more than if it left, ah, ah.
Because when it leaves, ah, ah, although the heart is wounded, the heart has finally understood that it is the end even if it hurts, ah, ah.
When love is gone, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah.
When love is gone, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah.
When love is gone, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah.
When love is gone, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah.
Sometimes it is better to say things even if they hurt, not to leave a candle lit just so that it burns out unnecessarily.
