The page contains the lyrics and English translation of the song "El Breve Espacio En Que No Está" by Fito Paez.
Lyrics
Todavía quedan restos de humedad,
sus olores llenan ya mi soledad.
En la cama su silueta
se dibuja cual promesa
de llenar el breve espacio
en que no está.
Todavía yo no sé si volverá,
nadie sabe al día siguiente lo que hará.
Rompe todos mis esquemas,
no confiesa ni una pena,
no me pide nada a cambio
de lo que da.
Suele ser violenta y tierna,
no habla de uniones eternas,
mas se entrega cual si hubiera
sólo un día para amar.
No comparte una reunión,
mas le gusta la canción
que comprometa su pensar.
Todavía no pregunté «¿te quedarás?».
Temo mucho a la respuesta de un «jamás».
La prefiero compartida
antes que vaciar mi vida.
No es perfecta, mas se acerca
a lo que yo, simplemente, soñé.
Lyrics translation
There's still moisture left.,
their smells already fill my loneliness.
On the bed your silhouette
it is drawn as a promise
to fill the short space
he's not in.
I still don't know if he'll come back,
no one knows the next day what he'll do.
Break all my schemes,
he doesn't confess a pity.,
he doesn't ask me for anything in return.
of what it gives.
She's usually violent and tender,
he does not speak of eternal unions,
but it is delivered as if there were
just a day to love.
Don't share a meeting,
but he likes the song
let him compromise his thinking.
I still didn't ask, " Will you stay?».
I'm very afraid of the answer of a "never".
I prefer it shared
before I empty my life.
It's not perfect, but it's getting closer
what I simply dreamed of.
