Paroles et traduction Melendi - Sin Remitente

Sin Remitente

Me despido de ti
Y lo hago sin dolor, aunque te quiera más que nunca
Ya sé que se acabó
Terminaron nuestras charlas repartiéndonos la culpa
Me aferré a lo que me diste porque valiente me hiciste
Y, aunque a veces, se nos fuera de las manos
Tú fuiste quien me enseñó a creer en mí
Aunque puede que ese "en mí", no siempre fuera el acertado
Me enseñaste a romper lazos que me ataban
A existir sin que me vieran, tú me diste tantas cosas
Y, aunque a veces, te fallaran las maneras
Fuiste siempre mi bastón cuando no veía salida
Unas alas de cartón que nunca vuelan
Pero, al menos, lo fingían
Fuiste lo que me faltaba y no te vas porque sobras
Hoy solo soy el pintor que firma y guarda su obra
La guardaré en un rincón, el mejor de mi castillo
Ese que juntos construimos desde que éramos niños
Sé que lo entenderás porque en el fondo lo sabes
Hoy dejo el surrealismo para pintar paisajes
Y aunque el envío es urgente
La carta es sin remitente
Tú me enseñaste a vencer mi timidez
Tú me enseñaste a mirar a los ojos
Pero fallabas en contar hasta 10
Y darte cuenta de que hacías daño a otros
No pienses ni por un momento
Que no voy a echarte nunca más de menos
Pero es difícil que nos veamos
Porque ahora vivimos demasiado lejos
Pero siempre te voy a estar
Eternamente agradecido
Por esas cosas que sin ti
Yo solo, por mi cuenta, nunca habría aprendido
Y sabes muy bien que no es triste
Por mucho que sea despedida
La cura solamente existe
Si antes hubo herida
Fuiste lo que me faltaba y no te vas porque sobras
Hoy solo soy el pintor que firma y guarda su obra
La guardaré en un rincón, el mejor de mi castillo
Ese que juntos construimos desde que éramos niños
Sé que lo entenderás porque en el fondo lo sabes
Hoy dejo el surrealismo para pintar paisajes
Y aunque el envío es urgente
La carta es sin remitente

Letter Without a Return Address

I bid you farewell
And I do so without pain, although I love you more than ever
I know that it's over
Our talks ended by our sharing the blame
I clung to what you gave me because you made me brave
And, although at times, it got out of hand
You were the one who taught me to believe in myself
Although maybe that "in myself" wasn't always the right one
You taught me to break the ties that bound me
To exist without being seen, you gave me so many things
And, although at times, your ways failed you
You were always my crutch when I couldn't see a way out
Some cardboard wings that never fly
But, at least, they pretended
You were what I was missing and you're not leaving because you're not needed.
Today I'm just the painter who signs and keeps his work
I'll keep it in a corner of my castle
The one we built together since we were children
I know you'll understand because deep down you know it
Today I'm leaving surrealism to paint landscapes
And although the delivery is urgent
The letter is without a return address
You taught me to overcome my shyness
You taught me to look people in the eye
But you failed to count to 10
And realize that you were hurting others
Don't think for a moment
That I won't miss you ever again
But it's difficult for us to see each other
Because now we live too far away
But I'll always be there for you
Eternally grateful
For those things that without you
I would never have learned on my own
And you know very well that it's not sad
Even though it's a goodbye
The cure only exists
If there was a wound before
You were what I was missing and you're not leaving because you're not needed.
Today I'm just the painter who signs and keeps his work
I'll keep it in a corner of my castle
The one we built together since we were children
I know you'll understand because deep down you know it
Today I'm leaving surrealism to paint landscapes
And although the delivery is urgent
The letter is without a return address
