Échele ahí
Go on
Ay, amiga
Oh, friend
Tengo que contarte algo
I have to tell you something
Lo traigo desde hace tiempo
I've been carrying it for a while
Y solo a ti
And only to you
Te lo puedo decir
I can tell you
Siento que no soy la misma
I feel like I'm not the same
Mi deseo se ha esfumado
My desire has vanished
Y eso que yo
And even though I
Me encargué de vivir
I made sure to live
No sé si estoy triste
I don't know if I'm sad
Pero es muy parecido a lo que cuentan
But it's very similar to what they say
Cuando hablan de alguien que perdió su rumbo
When they talk about someone who lost their way
Y no encuentra por dónde regresar
And can't find a way back
No sé qué decirte
I don't know what to tell you
Las palabras no me sirven como antes
Words don't help me like before
Solo sé que de quedarme en este mundo
I only know that if I stay in this world
Y con esto que me queda volverá a empezar
And with what I have left, I'll start again
Amiga, no te sientas sola
Friend, don't feel alone
Comprendo lo que estás sintiendo
I understand what you're feeling
Y la verdad
And the truth is
También he estado ahí
I've also been there
Y mientras me lo platicas
And while you tell me about it
Lo que escucho es tu fuerza
What I hear is your strength
Y muy pronto
And very soon
Sé que vas a salir
I know you'll get out
Tal vez estás triste
Maybe you're sad
Eso es muy parecido a lo que cuentan
That's very similar to what they say
Cuando hablan de alguien que perdió su rumbo
When they talk about someone who lost their way
Y va encontrando por dónde regresar
And is finding a way back
Y voy a decirte
And I'm going to tell you
Las palabras ya no sirven como antes
Words don't help like before
Solo puedo acompañarte en este mundo
I can only accompany you in this world
Y con esto que nos queda volver a empezar
And with what we have left, start again
Y voy a decirte
And I'm going to tell you
Las palabras ya no sirven como antes
Words don't help like before
Solo puedo acompañarte en este mundo
I can only accompany you in this world
Y con esto que nos queda volver a empezar
And with what we have left, start again
Solo puedo acompañarte en este mundo
I can only accompany you in this world
Y con esto que nos queda
And with what we have left
Volver a empezar
Start again

Did you like this lyrics translation?
esfumado — vanished / faded away
Esfumado comes from the verb esfumar, meaning to vanish, fade away, or disappear. It's a more evocative and less common word than simply saying something 'disappeared'.
In the song, the singer expresses, "Mi deseo se ha esfumado" (My desire has vanished). This word beautifully captures the feeling of a once-strong emotion or drive slowly fading into nothingness, making it a poignant and memorable choice.
