I have lost my shoes

Running down a hallway at midnight

I have reached a square

With six doors and I didn't know how to decide

One is the one that leaves me

Another always takes me back

two other contradictions

And a fifth to open

And the last one is a circus

nothing is tame

My character crosses a side

And in the other the future

I let life run while she lowered her arms

To love wrapped in ties

That maybe it hurt a thousand

I wanted to move, I put the alcohol to burn

And it was the shadow that always walks behind

fear of not seeing me

fear of seeing myself more

I must not confess that time hurts as it passes

Prejudice is the claim

of the poor puppets

I remove the label

you teach me the rest

And I thought Diana was playing but I was not convinced

they left me laughing

With stashes of champagne

I threw up in the alleys

that they did not seduce either

And I went out of my mind

that still have to be welded

I wanted to move, I put the alcohol to burn

And it was from the shadow that always walks behind

fear of not seeing me

fear of seeing myself more

I must not confess that time hurts as it passes

I wanted to move

fear of not seeing me

fear of seeing myself more

I must not confess that time hurts as it passes

I am one of those that the day before

Always study for grade

And although sometimes it defeats me

not measure up

Did you like this lyrics translation?

This song opens like a bad dream. Vanesa Martín has lost her shoes running down a corridor at midnight ("He perdido los zapatos", I've lost my shoes) and ends up in a square "Con seis puertas y no supe decidir" (with six doors, and I couldn't decide). Each door is a version of her life: "Una es la que me abandona" (one is the one that abandons me), "Otra siempre me retoma" (another always takes me back), two are contradictions, a fifth is still to be opened, and the last "es un circo" (is a circus) where "Nada está domesticado" (nothing is tamed).

The chorus is the honest bit. She is afraid of two opposite things at once: "Miedo a no verme" (fear of not seeing myself) and "Miedo a verme de más" (fear of seeing too much of myself). Then comes "No debo confesar que el tiempo al pasar duele" (I shouldn't confess that time hurts as it goes by), which is a confession anyway. The verses get messy on purpose: laughter with "alijos de champán" (stashes of champagne), and "Vomité en los callejones" (I threw up in the alleys), a blunt line you don't expect in a ballad. She ends on something very relatable: "Soy de las que el día de antes / Siempre estudia para nota" (I'm one of those who, the day before, always studies for top marks). In Spain, estudiar para nota means aiming for a high grade, not just a pass, and here it's her perfectionism talking.
