Description
Sometimes life turns into a long flight - clouds outside the window, memories swirling in your head, and turbulence in your heart. Everything seems calm, but inside you're still spinning - from longing, from unspoken words, from the fear of waking up and realizing that everything real is somewhere in the airport of the past.
The song sounds like a conversation with yourself at four in the morning, when sleep is out of the question. It contains a little confession, a little tenderness, and a little more pain than you would like to admit. But between the lines, the main point slips through: even in a foreign city, even with a foreign accent, you can still find yourself - simply because someone once helped you believe that there is meaning in doing so.
Lyrics and translation
Original
Sentado en otro avión de vuelta
Pensando en lo que nos unió
Machacando a mi memoria
Con algo malo que no ocurrió
A veces siento un vacío inmenso
Supongo que es algo normal
Nadie me preparó para entender la vida
Solo trato de vivirla
Hace tiempo estoy muy raro
Y me cuesta sonreír
Hablo en un acento extraño
Desde que vine a Madrid
Si un día decides correr tan veloz
Que ya no sea capaz de alcanzarte
Promete dejarme al menos tus huellas
Y así tendré algo a lo que aferrarme
Hasta mis demonios tienen demonios
Y es normal que el miedo al futuro
Me rompa como a un dummy
Es normal que se me revuelva el estómago
Pensando en que podría morir mañana
Sin ti a mi lado
Hace tiempo estoy muy raro
Y me cuesta sonreír
Hablo en un acento extraño
Desde que vine a Madrid
Y aunque tú ya no lo creas
Me encontré gracias a ti (gracias a ti)
Si un día decides correr tan veloz que
Ya no sea capaz de alcanzarte
Promete dejarme al menos tus huellas
Y así tendré algo a lo que aferrarme
Hasta ahora todo lo que he conseguido
Sé de sobra que no tuvo un motivo
Pero ahora que estoy viviendo esto contigo
Sé de sobra que siempre hubo un motivo
Hasta ahora todo lo que he conseguido
Sé de sobra que no tuvo un motivo
Pero ahora que estoy viviendo esto contigo
Sé de sobra que siempre hubo un motivo
English translation
Sitting on another plane back
Thinking about what brought us together
Crushing my memory
With something bad that didn't happen
Sometimes I feel an immense emptiness
I guess it's normal
Nobody prepared me to understand life
I'm just trying to live it
I've been very strange for a long time
and it's hard for me to smile
I speak in a strange accent
Since I came to Madrid
If one day you decide to run so fast
May I no longer be able to reach you
Promise to leave me at least your footprints
And then I'll have something to hold onto
Even my demons have demons
And it is normal that the fear of the future
I broke like a dummy
It's normal for my stomach to turn
Thinking that I could die tomorrow
Without you by my side
I've been very strange for a long time
and it's hard for me to smile
I speak in a strange accent
Since I came to Madrid
And although you no longer believe it
I found myself thanks to you (thanks to you)
If one day you decide to run so fast that
I am no longer able to reach you
Promise to leave me at least your footprints
And then I'll have something to hold onto
So far everything I have achieved
I know very well that there was no reason
But now that I'm living this with you
I know very well that there was always a reason
So far everything I have achieved
I know very well that there was no reason
But now that I'm living this with you
I know very well that there was always a reason
