Description
Love is like a house where someone always forgets to turn off the lights. At first, it seems like it's just night outside the window, then - maybe there are no windows anymore. In this song, love lives between the phrases “come back” and “I've already given everything.” Between the moon, which changes, and summer, which always ends sooner than we would like.
It sounds like a conversation that should have ended long ago, but the heart is still holding the phone. Warm, bitter, a little theatrical - as if feelings themselves are trying to play their last scene, but forget their lines. And all that remains is silence, in which even your own breath seems like a confession.
Lyrics and translation
Original
Toda la vida será insuficiente para mostrarte el amor que te aguarda.
Dijo de día y de noche no estaba en la casa.
Aparecía tan de cuando en cuando que no sabía si abrir la ventana por si volvía a salir de mi abrazo volando.
Ella era todo mi amor, yo solamente una excusa.
Los besos que no me dio porque otros besos preguntan.
Cuánto daría por meterme en tu cabeza, por decirle a tu tristeza que no juegue con los dos.
Cuánto daría por mirarnos al espejo sin que a tu lado los celos nos cometan otro error.
En una foto no ves lo de dentro y no hay más ruido que el propio silencio.
Descansan tantos recuerdos en solo una caja.
Yo nunca quise ganar una partida de trampas.
No debería perder cuando dices que te marchas.
Cuánto daría por meterme en tu cabeza, por decirle a tu tristeza que no juegue con los dos.
Cuánto daría por mirarnos al espejo sin que a tu lado los celos nos cometan otro error.
Vuelve, que olvidé decirte que la luna cambia, que el verano acaba, que cuando eso pase no habrá tren que pare por tu corazón.
Vuelve como lo hace el viento después de rozarte, que no creo en el arte.
Desde que tu tiempo ya no está en mis manos, no me queda voz.
Cuánto daría por meterme en tu cabeza, por pedirle a tu tristeza que no juegue con los dos.
Cuánto daría por mirarnos al espejo sin que a tu lado los celos nos cometan otro error.
Cuánto daría, que ya te lo he dado todo y aun así no funcionó.
English translation
A lifetime will be insufficient to show you the love that awaits you.
He said he was not in the house day and night.
He appeared so occasionally that I didn't know whether to open the window in case he flew out of my embrace again.
She was all my love, I was just an excuse.
The kisses that he didn't give me because other kisses ask.
How much I would give to get into your head, to tell your sadness not to play with both of you.
How much I would give to look in the mirror without jealousy making another mistake at your side.
In a photo you don't see what's inside and there is no more noise than the silence itself.
So many memories rest in just one box.
I never wanted to win a cheating game.
I shouldn't lose when you say you're leaving.
How much I would give to get into your head, to tell your sadness not to play with both of you.
How much I would give to look in the mirror without jealousy making another mistake at your side.
Come back, I forgot to tell you that the moon changes, that summer ends, that when that happens there will be no train that will stop for your heart.
It comes back like the wind does after brushing you, because I don't believe in art.
Since your time is no longer in my hands, I have no voice left.
How much I would give to get into your head, to ask your sadness not to play with both of us.
How much I would give to look in the mirror without jealousy making another mistake at your side.
How much would I give, I've already given you everything and it still didn't work.
