Antología [English translation]

To love you, I need a reason

And it’s difficult to believe

That one does not exist more than this love

Much remains

Inside this heart (of mine)

And despite what they say

That with years comes wisdom

I still feel the pain

Because all the time I spent together with you

Left woven its thread within me

And I learned to remove the seconds from time

You made me see a more profound/deeper meaning in the heavens/sky

With you I believe I gained more than three pounds

With the many sweet kisses you gave

You expanded my sense of smell

And because of you I learned to love cats

You freed my shoes from the cement

So we could escape and fly for a little bit

But you forgot one final instruction

Because I still don’t know how I’m going to live without your love

And I learned what a rose symbolizes (its significance)

You taught me how to say white lies

So that I could see you at unsuitable hours

And how to replace words with gazes

And it is because of you that I’ve written more than a hundred songs

And I even forgave your mistakes

And I learned more than a thousand ways to kiss

And it is because of you that I discovered what it means to love

What it means to love

What it means to love

What it means to love

What it means to love

What it means to love

What it means to love
