Verse 1
En tus manos yo aprendí a beber agua
In your hands I learned to drink water
Fuí gorrión que se quedó preso en su jaula
I was sparrow who was imprisoned in his cage
Porque yo corté mis alas
Because I cut off my wings
Y el alpiste que me dabas
And the alpiste you gave me
Fue tan poco y sin embargo yo te amaba
It was so little and yet I loved you
Fue mi canto para ti siempre completo
It was my singing for you always complete
Sin ti no pude volar en otro cielo
Without you I couldn't fly in another sky
Pero me dejaste solo
But you left me alone
Confundido y olvidado
Confused and forgotten
Y otra mano me ofreció
And another hand offered me
El fruto anhelado
The fruit yearned for
Chorus 1
Lo que un día fue no será
What one day was won't be
Ya no vuelvas a buscarme
Don't ever look for me anymore
No tengo nada que darte
I have nothing to give you
De tu alpiste me cansé
I'm tired of your canarye
Vete a volar a otro cielo
Go fly to another sky
Y deja abierta tu jaula
And leave your cage open
Tal vez otro gorrión caiga
Maybe another sparrow will fall
Pero dale de beber
But give him a drink
Verse 2
Déjame encender la luz no quiero nada
Let me turn on the light I don't want anything
Si ésto hubiera sido ayer lo tomaría
If this had been yesterday I would take it
La primera vez que ofreces
The first time you've offered
Para que yo aquí me quede
So I can stay here
Pero sin amarte ya, que ganaría
But without loving you anymore, I would win
Chorus 2
Lo que un día fue no será
What one day was won't be
Ya no vuelvas a buscarme
Don't ever look for me anymore
No tengo nada que darte
I have nothing to give you
De tu alpiste me cansé
I'm tired of your canarye
Vete a volar a otro cielo
Go fly to another sky
Y deja abierta tu jaula
And leave your cage open
Tal vez otro gorrión caiga
Maybe another sparrow will fall
Pero dale de beber
But give him a drink
