Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Payaso by Elsa y Elmar from Spanish to English.
Le dije que lo amaba
I told him I loved him
Le dije que lo amaba y respondió de vuelta
I told him I loved him and he replied back
Palabras y miradas
Words and looks
Palabras y miradas ya perdí la cuenta
Words and looks, I've lost count
Ahora sí lo intentan
Now they try
Será imposible detenerme
It will be impossible to stop me
Dejé abierta la puerta
I left the door open
Ya ni me importa defenderme
I don't even care to defend myself anymore
Yo y mi tonta manera
Me and my silly way
De correr y escapar lo que no conozco
Of running and escaping what I don't know
Esa antigua manera
That old way
De meter sólo un pie pa ver si está muy hondo
Of just putting one foot in to see if it's too deep
Ahora ya ni cuenta me di
Now I didn't even realize
Sólo estuve dispuesta
I was just willing
Con miedo pero atenta
Afraid but attentive
Pa devolver lo que me dieras
To give back what you gave me
Le dije que lo amaba
I told him I loved him
Le dije que lo amaba y respondió de vuelta
I told him I loved him and he replied back
Palabras y miradas
Words and looks
Palabras y miradas, ya perdí la cuenta
Words and looks, I've lost count
Yo y mi tonta manera
Me and my silly way
De correr y escapar a lo que no conozco
Of running and escaping what I don't know
Ahora ni me importa
Now I don't even care
Dejé abierta la puerta, ya caí bien hondo
I left the door open, I fell deep
Did you know?
