Si me dieran a elegir
If I were given the choice
Entre moda y agravar
Between fashion and aggravation
Si tuviera que mentir
If I had to lie
Lagrimas de carnaval
Carnival tears
Si pudiera desandar
If I could retrace
La memoria que tanto descuide
The memory that I neglected so much
Si supiera amortizar
If I could amortize
Tu desamor y mi fe
Your lack of love and my faith
Si la estéril vanidad de la estatua de cera que prendí
If the sterile vanity of the wax statue I set on fire
Me absorbiera del amor eterno
Absorbed me of eternal love
Si el infierno pasa por aquí
If hell should pass this way
Si dijeras sálvame
If you said save me
Si quisieras nombrarme tu escudero
If you wanted to name me your squire
Y si el 13 más 1 de febrero
And if on February 13 plus 1
Te decidieras a calmar mi sed
You decided to quench my thirst
¿Cómo seria?
What would it be like?
Si bajaras tú
If you were to come down
Si subiera yo
If I were to go up
Si subieras tú
If you came up
Si bajara yo
If I came down
Si volviera mancillar
If I were to stain
La bandera que jure
The flag that I swore
Si me diera por matar
If I were to kill
Muertos que viven de pie
Dead men who live on their feet
Escalera de color primavera otoño mes de abril
Staircase of color spring autumn month of April
No alimentes corazón duelos entre suelo y el fin
Don't feed heart duels between ground and end
Me desarmo por su amor
I disarm for her love
Como un guerrero la espero en cada esquina
Like a warrior I wait for her at every corner
Mientras el bombón de mi vecina
While my neighbor's sweetie
Busca solo amores de estación
Seeks only seasonal loves
