Estuve A Punto De... Lyrics in English Miguel Bosé

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Estuve A Punto De... by Miguel Bosé from Spanish to English.
I was about to
To almost, almost nothing
I was just about to
Really smash my face
Forever tie myself at the foot of
The b*tch of your bed
I was about to
Break myself bone by bone
I was just about to
What you'd call dead
I was this close to
Hanging my life from a
Just this
For a kiss
And no, it has nothing to do
Fear has nothing to do with it
It was simply that
I felt the rope at my neck
I cut with danger
And gave a clean slash in time
On the edge, this close to
Hanging my life from a
Just this
For a kiss
And no, it has nothing to do
My jealousy has nothing to do with it
Your mouth, your waist
The sky splits us in two
Into two mortalities
Half, madness and verse
And this close to, I told myself
Hanging my life from a
Just this
For a kiss
Just this
Hanging my life from a
Just this
For a kiss
To think that I was this close
To almost, almost nothing
Because of, this
The b*tch of your bed
About to and this close to
Really stir it up
I was this close to
Hanging my life from a
Just this
For a kiss
Just this
Hanging my life from a
Just this
For a kiss
I was this close to a
Just this
For a kiss
Just this
Hanging my life from a
Just this
For a kiss
Just this

SONG MEANING

Miguel Bosé plunges us into the razor-thin line between passion and self-destruction. In “Estuve A Punto De…” he repeats, almost like a heartbeat, that he was “a esto”this close—to throwing everything away for a single kiss. The lyrics paint vivid images of broken bones, a noose around the neck, and the magnetic pull of a lover’s bed, showing how seductive desire can morph into a dangerous trap. Yet in the same breath, the narrator snaps the rope, steps back from the abyss, and admits that fear was not the motivation; clearer vision was.

The song is a confession and a celebration of survival. Bosé captures that electrifying moment when you realize just how far you were willing to fall—and decide to climb back instead. The track’s pulsing rhythm mirrors the adrenaline of nearly losing it all, while the lyrics remind listeners that reclaiming self-control can be as dramatic and courageous as passion itself. In short, it is a musical tightrope walk, urging us to feel deeply, but never forget the value of our own lives.
