Cuánto daría Lyrics English Translation by Andrés Suárez
A whole lifetime wouldn’t be enough
to show you the love that awaits you,”
he said by day, and by night he wasn’t in the house.
He appeared so very seldom
that I didn’t know whether to open the window
in case he would fly out of my embrace again.
She was all my love,
I was just an excuse.
The kisses he didn’t give me,
why do they ask about other kisses?
What I’d give to get inside your head,
to tell your sadness
not to play with the two of us.
What I’d give for us to look in the mirror
without jealousy at your side
making us commit another mistake.
In a photo you can’t see what’s inside
and there’s no more noise than the silence itself.
So many memories rest
in just one box.
I never wanted to win a game of tricks,
I shouldn’t lose when you say you’re leaving.
What I’d give to get inside your head,
to tell your sadness
not to play with the two of us.
What I’d give for us to look in the mirror
without jealousy at your side
making us commit another mistake.
Come back, I forgot to tell you
that the moon changes,
that summer ends,
that, when that happens,
no train will stop for your heart.
Come back like the wind does
after it grazes you,
’cause I don’t believe in art since your time
is no longer in my hands;
I have no voice left.
What I’d give to get inside your head,
to ask your sadness
not to play with the two of us.
What I’d give for us to look in the mirror
without jealousy at your side
making us commit another mistake.
What I’d give, I’ve already given you everything
and even so it didn’t work.
