Verse 1
Cuando me encontraste yo bailaba sobre el hielo
When you found me I danced on the ice
Tú pensabas que besarse es morder el mismo anzuelo
You thought kissing is taking the same bait
Y llenarnos de veneno el corazón, sólo un mal menor
And fill our hearts with poison, just a minor evil
Antes de la huida y después de los abrazos
Before the escape and after the hugs
Antes de que las caricias se volviesen los zarpazos
Before the caresses became the pawns
Y pasaron tantos años desde que te fuiste ayer
And it's been so many years since you left yesterday
Chorus 1
Ser tan sólo amigos fue tu forma de decir
Being just friends was your way of saying
'que seas feliz, mientras no sea conmigo'
'that you're happy, as long as it's not with me'
Tú me enseñaste que separarse es repartirse un arsenal
You taught me that splitting up is splitting an arsenal
Que no es tan grave perderlo todo cuando hay tanto por ganar
That it's not so bad to lose everything when there's so much to gain
Tal vez lo olvide, tal vez lo triste es no estar triste y que dé igual
Maybe I'll forget it, maybe the sad thing is not to be sad and it doesn't matter
Verse 2
Cuentas que no cuadran, sueños en números rojos
Accounts that don't add up, dreams in red numbers
Lo que ataca por la espalda mientras te mira a los ojos
What attacks from behind as he looks you in the eye
Yo cambié de piel pero tu cicatriz aún me habla de ti
I changed my skin but your scar still tells me about you
¿quién da un paso en falso? ¿quién andaba entre las minas?
Who takes a false step? Who was in the mines?
¿quién pensaba que el disparo dura más que las heridas?
Who thought the shot lasts longer than the wounds?
¿quién jugó con dos barajas a la vez por miedo a perder?
Who played with two decks at once for fear of losing?
Chorus 2
Ser tan sólo amigos fue tu forma de decir
Being just friends was your way of saying
'que seas feliz, mientras no sea conmigo'
'that you're happy, as long as it's not with me'
Tú me enseñaste que separarse es repartirse un arsenal
You taught me that splitting up is splitting an arsenal
Que no es tan grave perderlo todo cuando hay tanto por ganar
That it's not so bad to lose everything when there's so much to gain
Tal vez lo olvide, tal vez lo triste es no estar triste y que dé igual
Maybe I'll forget it, maybe the sad thing is not to be sad and it doesn't matter
Mi buenos aires, era la vida, era la suerte, era el adiós
My good airs, it was life, it was luck, it was goodbye
Eran las calles donde las casas rosas no tienen razón
They were the streets where pink houses are not right
Llovía a mares pero me miento y cuento que brillaba el sol
It was raining in the seas but I lie and I tell that the sun was shining
Mi buenos aires, era la vida, era la suerte, era el adiós
My good airs, it was life, it was luck, it was goodbye
Eran las calles donde las casas rosas no tienen razón
They were the streets where pink houses are not right
Llovía a mares pero me miento y cuento que brillaba el sol
It was raining in the seas but I lie and I tell that the sun was shining
