Algo se detuvo en punto muerto
Something's stopped dead
Y fue tan grande ese silencio, fue tan grande el desamor
And that silence was so great, the heartbreak was so great
Restos de un navío que encallaba
Remains of a ship that ran aground
Yo te quise, yo te amaba
I loved you, I loved you
No se bien lo qué pasó
I don't know what happened
Cuando los jazmines no perfuman
When the jasmines do not perfume
Cuando sólo vemos bruma
When we only see mist
Cuando el cuento terminó
when the story ended
Todo nos parece intranscendente
Everything seems inconsequential to us
No es cuestión de edad o suerte
It's not a matter of age or luck
De esto se trata el amor
This is what love is all about
Tengo que correr, tienes que correr a toda velocidad
I have to run, you have to run full speed
A toda velocidad
At full speed
Veo tus pupilas descubriendo algún chagall
I see your pupils discovering some chagall
En el invierno, creo del '83
In the winter, I think '83
Yo estoy a tu lado revolviendo, ordenando libros
I am by your side stirring, ordering books
Viejos que leí pero olvidé
old ones i read but forgot
Besos de tu madre en el teléfono
Kisses from your mother on the phone
Y la lluvia es un espejo que me ayuda a verte bien
And the rain is a mirror that helps me see you well
Oigo tu sonrisa que ilumina el estudio y la cocina
I hear your smile that lights up the study and the kitchen
Entre las copas y el café
Between the drinks and the coffee
Tengo que correr, tienes que correr a toda velocidad
I have to run, you have to run full speed
A toda velocidad
At full speed
Sabe amargo el licor, de las cosas queridas
Liquor tastes bitter, of dear things
Se acabó lo mejor, quién nos quita esta herida
The best is over, who takes this wound from us
Tu me pierdes a mí yo te doy por perdida
You lose me, I give you up for lost
Es la hora de huir, la despedida,
It's time to flee, the farewell,
La despedida
The farewell
Tengo que correr, tienes que correr a toda velocidad
I have to run, you have to run full speed
A toda velocidad
At full speed
