Ciega, sordomuda [English translation]

Arguments and methodology fail me

Each time your body appears in front of me

Because this love doesn't understand advice or reason

It feeds on excuses and lacks teeth

This love doesn't let me stand up

Because it has already broken my heels

Even if I get up I'll come back falling

If you get closer nothing works for this uselessness

Brutish, blind, deaf, mute,

clumsy, worried, stubborn,

That's all I've been

Because of you I've change into

Something that doesn't

Do anything else besides love you

I think about you day and night

And I don't know how to forget you

How many times have I tried to erase you from my memory

And even if I say no more it's the same story over again

Because this love always knows how to make me take a deep breath

It brings me to the left and then against the world

If I could rid myself of your voice

If I could escape your name

If I could tear out my heart

And hide away so I won't feel again

Brutish, blind, deaf, mute,

clumsy, worried, stubborn,

That's all I've been

Because of you I've change into

something that doesn't

do anything else besides love you

I think about you day and night

And I don't know how to forget you

Haggard, skinning, ugly, disordered

Clumsy, foolish, slow, stupid, tattered,

Completely out of control

You realize it and don't tell me anything

You see that my head has become a nest

Where only you have refuge

And you don't listen to what I tell you

Look well at what you've done to me

Brutish, blind, deaf, mute,

clumsy, worried, stubborn

That's all I've been

Because of you I've change into

something that doesn't

do anything else besides love you

I think about you day and night

And I don't know how to forget you
