Ella Es, Tú Fuiste

No sé cómo has podido preguntarme

I don't know how you could ask me

Que como es ella

What she's like

Que como siente

How she feels

Que si es muy bella

If she's very beautiful

Tal vez será difícil explicarme

Maybe it will be difficult to explain to me

No quiero herirte

I don't want to hurt you

Me diste mucho

You gave me a lot

Tanto te quise

I loved you so much

Perdona si te hieren mis palabras

Forgive me if my words hurt you

Tú misma me has pedido que lo exprese

You yourself asked me to express it

A veces las verdades son amargas

Sometimes the truths are bitter

Pero es justo decirlas indolentes

But it's fair to say them indifferent

Mientras ella es manantial que fluye

While she is a flowing spring

Tú fuiste torrente que todo destruye

You were a torrent that destroys everything

Mientras ella es brisa en primavera

While she is a breeze in spring

Tú fuiste ciclón en una pradera

You were a cyclone in a meadow

Mientras ella es calma en mis anhelos

While she is calm in my desires

Tú fuiste motivo de amargos desvelos

You were the cause of bitter sleepless nights

Mientras ella es esa paz que busco

While she is the peace I seek

Fuiste incertidumbre de un despertar brusco

You were the uncertainty of an abrupt awakening

Pero pude al despertar

But I could, upon waking up

Convencerme que al final

Convince myself that in the end

Tú no eras lo que yo espere encontrar

You were not what I expected to find

Tal vez en nuestro caso no hay culpables

Maybe in our case there are no culprits

La inexperiencia

Inexperience

Tal vez el tiempo

Maybe time

O la inconsciencia

Or unconsciousness

Perdona si te hieren mis palabras

Forgive me if my words hurt you

Tú misma me has pedido que lo exprese

You yourself asked me to express it

A veces las verdades son amargas

Sometimes the truths are bitter

Pero es gusto decirlas indolentes

But it's a pleasure to say them indifferent

Mientras ella es calma en mis anhelos

While she is calm in my desires

Tú fuiste motivo de amargos desvelos

You were the cause of bitter sleepless nights

Mientras ella es más que reina esclava

While she is more than a queen, she's a slave

Tú fuiste un vacío donde no había nada

You were an emptiness where there was nothing

Mientras ella es manantial que fluye

While she is a flowing spring

Tú fuiste torrente que todo destruye

You were a torrent that destroys everything

Mientras ella es brisa en primavera

While she is a breeze in spring

Tú fuiste ciclón en una pradera

Pero pude al despertar
