If you say you love me

You have one minute and nothing more

To change your words

And leave it all behind

Because if I decide to love you

I'll have to love you and there'll be no more

Don't say words that

Later you won't fulfill

I've already suffered too much

And experience speaks for me

If I believe you and you don't love me

I'll hate you, I'll make you suffer

I'll make you suffer

I want everything and I want nothing

(And get lost in your gaze)

Worn-out innocence

(A love that gives hope)

That today it be explosive

That tomorrow it be passive

And then that routine doesn't cheer up

Be divine from head to toe

To know that it will leave

That it will never die

To know that it won't leave

I don't want these silly lines

That always promise that love

So immutable and romantic

Relative of pain

It would be forever

A three-page story

Like that ephemeral tale

That finds its end

I've already suffered too much

And experience speaks for me

If I believe you and you don't love me

I'll hate you, I'll make you suffer

I'll make you suffer

I want everything and I want nothing

(And get lost in your gaze)

Worn-out innocence

(A love that gives hope)

That today it be explosive

That tomorrow it be passive

And then that routine doesn't cheer up

Be divine from head to toe

To know that it won't leave

That it will never die

To know that it won't leave

Did you like this lyrics translation?

efímero — ephemeral

Efímero translates to "ephemeral" or "short-lived." It's a beautiful and somewhat less common word that evokes a sense of fleetingness and impermanence.

In the song, Paty Cantú uses it to describe a love story that is "como ese cuento efímero que encuentra su final" (like that ephemeral story that finds its end). This word perfectly captures the song's theme of skepticism towards eternal love and the desire for something real, even if it's not forever.

Paty Cantú opens with a countdown: "Si dices que me amas / Tienes un minuto y nada mas" (If you say you love me / You have one minute and nothing more). No more chances for words that don't hold up - "No digas palabras que / Después no cumplirás" (Don't say words that / Later you won't fulfill) - she's already paid for that mistake once: "Ya he sufrido demasiado" (I've already suffered too much), and she warns "Si te creo y no me amas / Te odiaré, te hare sufrir" (If I believe you and you don't love me / I'll hate you, I'll make you suffer). The chorus lands on the contradiction driving the whole song: "Quiero todo y quiero nada" (I want everything and I want nothing).

What she wants instead of a fizzling romance is one that keeps shifting shape - "Que hoy sea explosiva / Que mañana sea pasiva" (That today it be explosive / That tomorrow it be passive) - anything but "la rutina" wearing it down. She'd rather it stay unpredictable for good than settle into the kind of story that runs out after a few pages: "Una historia de tres paginas / Como ese cuento efímero" (A three-page story / Like that ephemeral tale).
