Lyrics and translation Laura Pausini - Bastaba

Bastaba

La sonrisa de regreso
Que contesta a otra sonrisa
Bastaba
Un espacio compartido
Con las cosas más sencillas
Bastaba

Un hotel en cualquier parte de Europa
Se podía hablar jugando a quitarnos la ropa
Convertimos las peleas en paces
El primero que se rinde, y lo dice, ya sabe

Cómo pudimos llegar a querernos tan mal
De verdad no lo sé
Cómo has podido decirme que aquí cada uno
Sabrá lo que hacer

Un paseo por el centro
Y sentarnos en un banco
Bastaba
Hacer caso a tus consejos
Aunque estés equivocado
Bastaba

Y romper con nuestras buenas maneras
Con las que disimulamos errores y quejas
Sumergirnos bajo el agua helada
Y aceptar que ya sabemos que es agua pasada.

Cómo pudimos llegar a querernos tan mal
De verdad no lo sé
Cómo has podido decirme que aquí cada uno
Sabrá lo que hacer

Cómo caímos tan bajo tú y yo
Cómo pudimos echarnos en cara que el odio
Nos vence a los dos

Bastaba
Darnos todo, aunque sea poco
O, ¿qué entiendes, tú, por poco?
Bastaba
Y tragarnos las palabras
En las calles de Ginebra
Bastaba

Esta noche abre los ojos y nos mira
Viendo las caricias pobres en guerra
Esta noche abre los ojos y nos mira
Viendo lágrimas de plata cayendo en la tierra

Cómo pudimos llegar a querernos tan mal
De verdad no lo sé
Cómo has podido decirme que aquí cada uno
Sabrá lo que hacer

(Bastaba) Ya sabrá lo que hacer
(Bastaba) Bastaba, bastaba
Eh y eh, bastaba (Bastaba, bastaba)
Acuérdate cuando bastaba
Bastaba
Bastaba
Bastaba

It Was Enough

The smile returns
That responds to another smile
It was enough
A shared space
With the simplest things
It was enough

A hotel in any part of Europe
We could talk while playing at taking off our clothes
We turned fights into peace
The first one who surrenders, and says it, already knows

How could we have come to hate each other so much
I really don't know
How could you have told me that here each one
Will know what to do

A walk downtown
And sitting on a bench
It was enough
Listening to your advice
Even if you are wrong
It was enough

And breaking with our good manners
With which we hide mistakes and complaints
Immersing ourselves in the icy water
And accepting that we already know that it is water under the bridge.

How could we have come to hate each other so much
I really don't know
How could you have told me that here each one
Will know what to do

How did you and I fall so low
How could we have thrown in each other's face that hatred
Overcomes both of us

It was enough
To give each other everything, even if it's little
Or, what do you understand, you, by little?
It was enough
And to swallow our words
In the streets of Geneva
It was enough

Tonight open your eyes and look at us
Watching poor caresses at war
Tonight open your eyes and look at us
Watching silver tears falling on the earth

How could we have come to hate each other so much
I really don't know
How could you have told me that here each one
Will know what to do

(It was enough) Will already know what to do
(It was enough) It was enough, it was enough
Eh and eh, it was enough (It was enough, it was enough)
Remember when it was enough
It was enough
It was enough
It was enough
