Letra de 'como una vela'
Lyrics of 'Like a Candle'
No he vuelto a saber de ti
I haven't heard from you since
Y este invierno es frío
And this winter's cold
Y el agua de mi cuerpo se está haciendo hielo
And the water in my body is turning to ice
Es que el 90% de mi se fue con tu cuerpo
It's just that 90% of me left with your body
Y antes que mi corazón cambie de color
And before my heart changes color
Te quiero decir
I want to tell you
Mi corazón se agota
My heart's running out
Como el tacón de tu bota
Like the heel of your boot
De contar con los dedos
From counting on the fingers
De una mano los te quieros
On one hand the "I love you's"
Que me arranquen la vida
Let them rip my life away
Si me devuelven tu corazón
If they give me your heart back
Pero hoy no sé quien soy
But today… I don't know who I am
Y me consumo como una vela
And I'm burning out like a candle
No quiero nadie a mi alrededor
I don't want anybody around me
Que le salpique esta puta mierda
To get splashed by this f*cking sh*t
Que alguno todavía llaman amor
That some still call love
Recuerdo bien nuestra ultima cita
I remember our last date well
Por que no éramos ni tu ni yo
Because we were neither you nor me
Yo tenia miedo a que tu no fueras
I was scared you wouldn't be you
Y tu por miedo a que fuera yo
And you, scared that I'd be me
Te busco en cada amanecer
I look for you in every sunrise
Y solo encuentro pena
And I only find sorrow
La que llevo por dentro
The one I carry inside
Y me habla de tu vida
And it talks to me about your life
La que te siente todavía aquí
The one that still feels you here
Y mi cuerpo envenena
And poisons my body
Por eso aunque esta canción
That's why even though this song
Hable de los dos
Talks about the two of us
No suena sin ti
Doesn't sound without you
Mi corazón se agota
My heart's running out
Como el tacón de tu bota
Like the heel of your boot
De contar con los dedos
From counting on the fingers
De una mano los te quieros
On one hand the "I love you's"
Que me arranquen la vida
Let them rip my life away
Si me devuelven tu corazón
If they give me your heart back
Pero hoy no sé quien soy
But today… I don't know who I am
Y me consumo como una vela
And I'm burning out like a candle
No quiero nadie a mi alrededor
I don't want anybody around me
Que le salpique esta puta mierda
To get splashed by this f*cking sh*t
Que alguno todavía llaman amor
That some still call love
Recuerdo bien nuestra ultima cita
I remember our last date well
Por que no éramos ni tu ni yo
Because we were neither you nor me
Yo tenia miedo a que tu no fueras
I was scared you wouldn't be you
Y tu por miedo a que fuera yo
And you, scared that I'd be me
Y tu por miedo que fuera
And you, scared that it would be
Y tu por miedo a que fuera yo
And you, scared that I'd be me
Y tu por miedo que fuera
And you, scared that it would be
Y tu por miedo a que fuera yo
And you, scared that I'd be me
No he vuelto a saber de ti
I haven't heard from you since
Y este invierno es frío
And this winter's cold
Y el agua de mi cuerpo se está haciendo hielo
And the water in my body is turning to ice

envenena — poisons

Envenena means 'poisons' or 'intoxicates'. It's a strong and dramatic verb that immediately grabs attention, suggesting a powerful and potentially destructive force.

In the context of the song, the singer uses it to describe how the pain and memories of a lost love are 'poisoning' his body and soul. He sings, "La que te siente todavía aquí / Y mi cuerpo envenena" (The one who still feels you here / And poisons my body), conveying the intense emotional suffering that feels physically debilitating. This vivid imagery makes the word particularly impactful.
