A veces llegan cartas [English translation]

Sometimes you get letters that taste bitter,

flavored with tears.

Sometimes you get letters that smell of thorns,

not romantic at all.

These are the letters that tell you that from far away

everything looks different.

These are the letters that say that in the distance

love dies.

Sometimes you get letters that hurt you much

deep in your soul.

Sometimes you get letters that taste of glory,

full of expectations.

Sometimes you get letters that smell of roses,

that are really fantastic.

These are the letters that ask you to come back swiftly,

‘cause somebody wants to see you.

These are the letters that tell you about love

that grows in the distance.

Sometimes you get letters that make you live again,

that give you serenity.

These are the letters that ask you to come back swiftly,

‘cause somebody wants to see you.

These are the letters that tell you about love

that grows in the distance.

Sometimes you get letters that make you live again,

that give you serenity.
