La Otra Mitad (2019)

El amor es un castigo y lo entendí al conocerte
Dejé de ser yo mismo por tener miedo a perderte
Y era tal la angustia que sentía
Al esperarte levantado tantas noches hasta que se hacía de día

Retorcido por los celos, esperando una respuesta
Te olvidabas de todo, yo subía la cuesta
Nunca te diste cuenta del simbólico contrato
En el que dos son uno solo, y solo yo fui el insensato

Ahora me arrepiento de quedarme
Esperando tantas horas perdiendo el tiempo
Si no nadas, te ahogas y sientes como esa soga
Te va dejando sin aire y hace que te explote el pecho

Ahora soy mejor persona, he pasado página
Los errores no perdonan, no son simples matemáticas
Pero quizá lo que ocurría en realidad era
Que yo no entendía nada si faltaba la otra mitad

El amor es un castigo que querría vivir contigo
Y lo entendí al conocerte y sentir lo que es estar vivo
Dejé de ser yo mismo al unir estas dos partes
Por tener miedo a perderte, yo perdí el miedo a encontrarme

Y era tal la angustia que sentía
Y ahí empecé a entender que en realidad ni yo me entendía
Al esperarte levantado tantas noches hasta que se hacía de día
Vi que eran todo tonterías

Retorcido por los celos, confundido con los peros
Esperando una respuesta sin haberte preguntado
Te olvidabas de todo por crear recuerdos a mi lado
Yo subía la cuesta y tú me besabas luego

Nunca te diste cuenta de cuánto amaba mirarte
Del simbólico contrato entre mis ojos y ese instante
En que dos son uno solo, y sentirte era poesía
Y solo yo fui el insensato al no hacerte el amor todos los días

Ahora me arrepiento
De no haberte mirado más mientras te peinabas
De quedarme esperando tantas horas, perdiendo el tiempo
De desperdiciar momentos y convertirlos en nada

Si no nadas, te ahogas y sientes como esa soga
Te impide romper las olas y te hundes con los secretos
Te va dejando sin aire y hace que te explote el pecho
Pero tú me enseñaste que soy yo quien lo controla

Ahora soy mejor persona gracias a ti
He pasado página, pero eres un libro sin fin
Los errores no perdonan si nunca aprendes de ellos
No son simples matemáticas, son cartas perdidas sin sello

Pero en quizá lo que ocurría en realidad
Era que yo era de Marte y tú de Venus, nada más
Que yo no entendía nada porque faltaba la otra mitad
La que trajo luz a mi oscuridad
La única vez en mi vida que sentí lo que es la auténtica felicidad

The Other Half (2019)

Love is a punishment and I understood it when I met you
I stopped being myself for fear of losing you
And such was the anguish that I felt
Waiting for you to stand up so many nights until the sun rose

Twisted by jealousy, waiting for an answer
You forgot everything, I climbed the hill
You never realized the symbolic contract
In which two are one, and only I was the fool

Now I regret staying
Waiting so many hours wasting time
If you don't swim, you drown and feel like that rope
It leaves you without air and makes your chest explode

Now I'm a better person, I've turned the page
Mistakes don't forgive, they're not simple mathematics
But maybe what was really happening was
That I didn't understand anything if the other half was missing

Love is a punishment that I would like to live with you
And I understood it when I met you and felt what it was like to be alive
I stopped being myself by joining these two parts
For fear of losing you, I lost the fear of finding myself

And such was the anguish that I felt
And there I began to understand that in reality I didn't even understand myself
Waiting for you standing up so many nights until it was daylight
I saw that it was all nonsense

Twisted by jealousy, confused with the buts
Waiting for an answer without asking you
You forgot everything to create memories with me
I would climb the hill and then you would kiss me

You never realized how much I loved looking at you
Of the symbolic contract between my eyes and that moment
In which two are one, and to feel you was poetry
And only I was the fool for not making love to you every day

Now I regret
For not having looked at you more while you were combing your hair
For staying waiting so many hours, wasting time
For wasting moments and turning them into nothing

If you don't swim, you drown and feel like that rope
It prevents you from breaking the waves and you sink with the secrets
It leaves you without air and makes your chest explode
But you taught me that I'm the one who controls it

Now I'm a better person thanks to you
I've turned the page, but you're an endless book
Mistakes don't forgive if you never learn from them
They are not simple mathematics, they are lost letters without a stamp

But in maybe what was really happening
It was that I was from Mars and you from Venus, nothing more
That I didn't understand anything because the other half was missing
The one that brought light to my darkness
The only time in my life that I felt what true happiness is
