Description
What we hear here is not hysteria, but quiet surrender - as if you were holding a vase that is cracking at the seams and realise that it is impossible to glue it back together. The words are soft, almost whispered, but there is steel in them: a willingness to turn a blind eye to the truth, just to prolong the illusion of warmth a little longer.
This is music about self-deception in love, without pathos, only weary nobility. Preserving the mirage seems easier than living with emptiness. And even the request ‘lie to me’ sounds not like a reproach, but like a last attempt to make the pain beautiful - at least for a couple of verses longer.
Lyrics and translation
Original
Siento que ya no eres el mismo.
Algo en ti cambió.
No sé qué pasó.
Si andas por ahí jugando con otras, guárdatelo, por favor, que yo no quiero saber las cosas que tú haces cuando no estoy yo.
Prefiero vivir la ilusión creyendo que aún eres mío.
Yo me guardo el orgullo con tal de salvar este amor.
Miénteme, di que me quieres aunque no sea verdad. No me digas, miénteme.
No quiero saber con quién estarás. No tenerte duele más.
No tenerte duele más.
Ah, ah.

No tenerte duele más.
Ah, ah.
English translation
I feel like you're not the same anymore.
Something in you changed.
I don't know what happened.
If you're out there playing with others, please keep it to yourself, because I don't want to know the things you do when I'm not there.
I prefer to live the illusion believing that you are still mine.
I keep my pride in order to save this love.
Lie to me, say you love me even if it's not true. Don't tell me, lie to me.
I don't want to know who you'll be with. Not having you hurts more.
Not having you hurts more.
Ah, ah.
