Para Vivir (with María Iciar Amaya Uranga Amezaga)

Muchas veces te dije que antes de hacerlo
Había que pensarlo muy bien
Que a esta unión de nosotros
Le hacía falta carne y deseo también

Que no bastaba que me entendieras
Y que murieras por mí
Que no bastaba que en mi fracaso
Yo me refugiara en ti

Y ahora ya ves lo que pasó
Al fin nació, al pasar de los años
El tremendo cansancio que provoco ya en ti
Y aunque es penoso lo tienes que decir

Por mi parte esperaba
Que un día el tiempo se hiciera cargo del fin
Si así no hubiera sido
Yo habría seguido jugando a hacerte feliz

Y aunque el llanto es amargo, piensa en los años
Que tienes para vivir
Que mi dolor no es menos y lo peor
Es que ya no puedo sentir

Y ahora tratar de conquistar
Con vano afán este tiempo perdido
Que nos deja vencidos, sin poder conocer
Eso que llaman amor
Para vivir
Para vivir

To Live (with María Iciar Amaya Uranga Amezaga)

I often told you that before doing it
We had to think about it very carefully
That this union of ours
Lacked passion and desire

That it wasn't enough for you to understand me
And that you would die for me
That it wasn't enough that in my failures
I would take refuge in you

And now, you see what happened
Finally, over the years
The tremendous weariness that I provoke in you now was born
And although it's painful, you have to say it

For my part, I hoped
That one day time would take care of the end
If it hadn't been that way
I would have kept playing at making you happy

And although crying is bitter, think about the years
That you have left to live
That my pain is no less and the worst
Is that I can't feel anymore

And now, try to conquer
With futile effort, this wasted time
That leaves us defeated, unable to know
That which they call love
To live
To live
