Lyrics
Éramos distintos, siempre lo dijimos,
Éramos distintos.
Hasta que quisimos y pudimos descubrirnos,
Éramos distintos.
Y quién iba a decir que no era más que una ilusión;
Supimos, con el tiempo, que no basta con amor.
Cuantas veces vimos que éramos distintos
No era la verdad, éramos igual que los demás.
Y me duelen los recuerdos que se olvidan de que fuimos
Algo más que un desatino, mucho más que un mal destino.
Y me duele ver que siempre nos creímos convencidos
De que el otro era el motivo de que todo esté perdido.
Era yo tu espejo, tú eres mi reflejo,
Éramos el mismo.
Éramos dos gotas con distinto recorrido,
Éramos distintos.
Y quien iba a creer que siendo iguales no pudimos
Hacer el sueño eterno y reír en el camino.
Cuantas veces vimos que éramos distintos
No era la verdad, éramos igual que los demás.
Y me duelen los recuerdos que se olvidan de que fuimos
Algo más que un desatino, mucho más que un mal destino.
Y me duele ver que siempre nos creímos convencidos
De que el otro era el motivo de que todo esté perdido.
Y me duele convertirme en nostalgia sin olvido,
En abrazos encogidos que no abrazan con cariño.
Y me duele imaginarme quien se cruza en tu camino.
Y me duele, sobre todo, no poder soñar contigo,
No poder morir contigo.
Lyrics translation
We were different, we always said it,
We were different.
Until we wanted and we could discover,
We were different.
And who would say that it was nothing but an illusion;
We knew, over time, that love is not enough.
How many times did we see that we were different
It wasn't the truth, we were just like the others.
And it hurts the memories that forget that we went
Something more than a trifle, much more than a bad fate.
And it pains me to see that we always thought we were convinced
That the other was the reason that everything was lost.
I was your mirror, you are my reflection,
We were the same.
We were two drops with different route,
We were different.
And who would believe that being equal we couldn't
Make the eternal dream and laugh along the way.
How many times did we see that we were different
It wasn't the truth, we were just like the others.
And it hurts the memories that forget that we went
Something more than a trifle, much more than a bad fate.
And it pains me to see that we always thought we were convinced
That the other was the reason that everything was lost.
And it hurts to turn into nostalgia without forgetting,
In shrunken hugs that don't hug with affection.
And it pains me to imagine who gets in your way.
And it hurts me, above all, not to be able to dream about you,
Not being able to die with you.
