Lyrics

No pretendo ser la gota
Que derrame tu silencio,
Ni pretendo ser la nota
Que se escape en tu lamento.
No pretendo ser la huella
Que se deja en tu camino,
Ni pretendo ser aquella
Que se cruza en tu destino.
Sіlo quiero descubrirme
Tras la luz de tu sonrisa
Ser el bЎlsamo que alivia
Tus tristezas en la vida.
Sіlo quiero ser la calma
Que se escurre en tus desvelos,
Ser el sue±o en que descansa
La razіn de tus anhelos.
Simplemente, es el amor
Cuando ha roto sus cadenas.
Para darte el corazіn,
No pretendo ser tu due±a.
No pretendo ser la llama
Donde enciendes tus pasiones,
Ni pretendo ser la espada
Que atraviese tus errores.
No pretendo ser el aire
Que respiras en la noche,
Ni pretendo ser la carne
Que destila tus derroches.
Sіlo quiero ser la mano
Que se llene de quebranto,
Ser un poco ese remanso
Donde muere el desenga±o.
Sіlo quiero ser la estrella
Que se engarza en tu mirada,
La caricia que se entrega
Sin razіn y sin palabras.
Simplemente, es el amor
Que ha encontrado su camino.
Para darte mi ilusiіn,
No pretendo hacerte m­o.
Simplemente, es el amor
Cuando ha roto sus cadenas.
Para darte el corazіn,
No pretendo ser tu due±a.
(impro of guitar)
Sіlo quiero ser la mano
Que se llene de quebranto,
Ser un poco ese remanso
Donde muere el desenga±o.
Sіlo quiero ser la estrella
Que se engarza en tu mirada,
La caricia que se entrega
Sin razіn y sin palabras.
Simplemente, es el amor
Que ha encontrado su camino.
Para darte mi ilusiіn,
No pretendo hacerte m­o.
Simplemente, es el amor
Cuando ha roto sus cadenas.
Para darte el corazіn,
No pretendo ser tu due±a.
Simplemente es el amor…

Lyrics translation

I don't pretend to be the drop
Pour out your silence,
Nor do I pretend to be the note
Let him escape in your regret.
I don't pretend to be the footprint.
That gets in your way,
I don't even pretend to be that one.
That it crosses your destiny.
Silo I want to discover myself
After the light of your smile
Be the bylsamo that relieves
Your sorrows in life.
Silo I want to be calm
That flows in your unveils,
Be the dream in which you rest
The reason of your longing.
It's just love.
When he broke his chains.
To give you the heart,
I'm not pretending to be you.
I don't pretend to be the flame
Where you ignite your passions,
I don't even pretend to be the sword.
Let him go through your mistakes.
I don't pretend to be the air
That you breathe in the night,
Nor do I pretend to be the flesh
That it distills your waste.
Silo I want to be the hand
Let it be filled with breaking,
Be a little that backwater
Where the disengagement dies.
Silo I want to be the star
That is encased in your gaze,
The caress that is given
No razin and no words.
It's just love.
That he has found his way.
To give you my illusion,
I don't mean to make you mo.
It's just love.
When he broke his chains.
To give you the heart,
I'm not pretending to be you.
