gigantes Lyrics English Translation by mafalda cardenal
We were a song before lyrics
And before a “hello,” a “goodbye”
We got where nobody has ever gotten
And it scared us
Our song doesn’t have lyrics
Only one of the two sings it
We wanted to be something better
We could’ve been everything and it scared us
We could’ve been giants
Sail through sky, earth and a thousand cities
Be the envy of poets and lovers
We should’ve been giants
And we were never that big
In the end
Like a match that doesn’t burn
Like a pencil that doesn’t draw anymore
We were a first-rate story
And we ended up being just potential
And it wasn’t me
And you neither
Nobody has the answer to this goodbye
We wanted to be something better
We could’ve been everything and it scared us
We could’ve been giants
Sail through sky, earth and a thousand cities
Be the envy of poets and lovers
We should’ve been giants
And we were never that big
And how beautiful it was while our song lasted
What bad luck that it wasn’t enough
And how beautiful it was, but how little it lasted
What bad luck that it wasn’t forever
It could’ve been, and it wasn’t
It could’ve been, and it wasn’t
It could’ve been, it could’ve been
And in the end we were never giants
