Lyrics

Hoy te noto ausente,
día y noche callas,
tus ojos no engañan.
Sé que algo te pasa,
que no es lo de siempre,
que ni estás ni sientes.
Si quieres, hablamos
y nos sinceramos
con cuidado y tiempo.
Y hasta perdonamos
todos los intentos
por dañarnos tanto.
Y reconozcamos la verdad:
en el fondo, todo nos da igual.
Hasta aquí llegamos, sin querer,
conociendo ambos el después. Fue lo que tuvo que ser,
no busquemos porqué
ni a un culpable
de algo que no pudo ser.
Sé que quisiste quererme,
aunque nunca lo hicieras
y siempre fingieras
que podías querer.
Y quizás me quieras
como yo te quiero:
con amor a medias.
Ese amor que queda
cuando pasa el tiempo
y no queda nada.
Nos quedaron besos por besar,
demasiadas noches sin amor.
¡Tantas cosas bellas para dar!
¡Tantas veces cerca del adiós! Fue lo que tuvo que ser,
no busquemos porqué
ni a un culpable
de algo que no pudo ser.
Sé que quisiste quererme,
aunque nunca lo hicieras
y siempre fingieras
que podías querer.
Fue lo que tuvo que ser
no busquemos porqué
ni a un culpable
de algo que no pudo ser.
Sé que quisiste quererme
aunque nunca lo hicieras
y siempre fingieras
que podías querer.
Lo que tuvo que ser.

Lyrics translation

Today I notice you absent,
day and night callas,
your eyes don't cheat.
I know something's wrong with you.,
which is not the usual,
that you're neither there nor there.
If you want, we'll talk.
and we're honest
with care and time.
And we even forgive
all attempts
for hurting us so much.
And let us recognize the truth:
deep down, we don't care.
This is as far as we went, unintentionally.,
getting to know each other the next. It was what it had to be,
let's not look for why
nor a guilty one
something that couldn't have been.
I know you wanted to love me.,
even if you never did
and you always pretend
that you could have wanted.
And maybe you love me
as I love you:
half-love.
That love that remains
when time passes
and there's nothing left.
We got kisses to kiss,
too many nights without love.
So many beautiful things to give!
So many times close to Goodbye! It was what it had to be,
let's not look for why
nor a guilty one
something that couldn't have been.
I know you wanted to love me.,
even if you never did
and you always pretend
that you could have wanted.
It was what it had to be
let's not look for why
nor a guilty one
something that couldn't have been.
I know you wanted to love me.
even if you never did
and you always pretend
that you could have wanted.
What it had to be.
