Derrumbe Lyrics in English Jorge Drexler
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Derrumbe by Jorge Drexler from Spanish to English.
Sacaste apenas un naipe
You barely drew a playing card
Pero era el que sostenía el castillo
But it was the one holding up the castle
Nuestro amor cedió por las costuras
Our love gave way at the seams
Y se abrió la soldadura en los anillos
And the soldering on the rings came undone
Quedamos a la intemperie
We were left out in the open
Sin un tal vez que nos resguardara
With no "maybe" to shelter us
No quedó ni una primavera
Not even a spring remained
Qué de golpe nos hubiera vuelto cara
That could have suddenly turned us around
Las cartas caían
The cards were falling
El tiempo sangraba
Time was bleeding
Y toda estructura de toda poesía
And every structure of every poem
Se desmoronaba
Was crumbling
La casa era endeble
The house was fragile
El techo se hunde
The roof was collapsing
Y tú y yo abrazados, salvando los muebles
And you and I embraced, saving what we could
En pleno derrumbe
In the midst of the collapse
Cae la mesa, caen las sillas
The table falls, the chairs fall
Cae la cama y se hace astillas
The bed falls and shatters
Caen los cuadros, los floreros
The paintings fall, the vases
Los zapatos, los platos, percheros
The shoes, the plates, the coat racks
Caen fotos, controles remotos, cuadernos
Photos fall, remote controls, notebooks
La ropa de invierno, los hijos, los besos, los cuernos
Winter clothes, the children, the kisses, the horns
Cepillos de dientes
Toothbrushes
Los planes pendientes
Unfinished plans
Sacaste apenas un naipe
You barely drew a playing card
Pero era el que sostenía el castillo
But it was the one holding up the castle
