Tabú Lyrics in English Pablo Alborán , Ava Max

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Tabú by Pablo Alborán from Spanish to English.
What's your heart made of?
Tell me that it's not empty
That I've got mine full of dreams with you
Tic tock we took it too far
Don't wanna say goodbye
Stop killing our fire
Time is running out
How could you do this to us, we were flying
If I can't erase the stars
Don't ask me to forget your mark
I die every night and everyday
Crying my way to the moon
How come there is no other way?
I don't wanna live without you
I look for you at every dawn
And in the last ray of light
I take my body apart again
I invent myself a new taboo
What can I do to take us back
Back to the very beginning
When only your eyes could see mine
Remember that?
Tick tock the clock sounds
Goodbye arrives
Help, I don't have flares
If no love remains
Tell me what I feel between my chest and my wings
No, I don't wanna leave it behind us
'Cause my love, I can't do this without you
I look for you at every dawn
And in the last ray of light
I take my body apart again
I invent myself a new taboo
I die every night and every day
Staring you down from the moon
Just tell me that you're on the way
Only you can break the taboo
I look for you at every dawn
And in the last ray of light
I take my body apart again
I invent myself a new taboo
I die every night and every day
Staring you down from the moon
Just tell me that you're on the way
Only you can break the taboo

SONG MEANING

Tabú is a bilingual whirlwind of emotion where Pablo Alborán and Ava Max play two lovers who feel time slipping through their fingers. The ticking clock (tic tock… tic tac) and space-filled images of stars and moons create a sense of urgent, almost cosmic heartbreak. Both voices beg the other not to let their passion become a taboo topic while admitting how impossible it feels to erase the marks they have left on each other’s hearts.

Despite their pain, hope glows in every line. They recall the magical early days “when only your eyes could see mine” and promise that only by standing together can they “break the taboo,” reigniting the fire they once shared. It is a dramatic duet about refusing to surrender to silence, fighting against distance, and believing that love strong enough to cross languages can also cross darkness and time.
