Encontrarás [English translation]

I cannot be what I am not.

What I give weighs so little.

But inside the soul of my verses

lies the key to the secret

of how much I wanted to give you but I didn't.

I know I lost my mind.

My heart followed along.

'Cause even though I loved

like I had never loved,

I didn't know how to love you, I know.

(You will find...)

It is madness and not sadness

what breaks my voice in two.

(You will find...)

Such a wound, such beauty

to know there is still so much love left.

'Cause if you leave or if you leave me,

I'm going to fly so far away from pain.

(You will find...)

That losing you -and I'm not lying- takes me no effort.

Takes me no effort.

After me, perhaps someone else,

and like me, only one more.

And in the place I'm handing over,

give her my love and new time.

All that I no longer wait for.

I will go back to what I was.

Strong and my own self onwards.

And lost amidst my verses, you

will belatedly uncover the secret

and understand how much I gave you.

(You will find...)

It is madness and not sadness

what breaks my voice in two.

(You will find...)

Such a wound, such beauty

to know there is still so much love left.

'Cause if you leave or if you leave me,

I'm going to fly so far away from pain.

(You will find...)

That losing you -and I'm not lying- takes me no effort.

Takes me no effort.

(You will find...)

It is madness and not sadness

what breaks my voice in two.

Such a wound, such beauty

to know there is still so much love left.

'Cause if you leave or if you leave me,

I'm going to fly so far away from pain.

'Cause losing you -and I'm not lying-

takes me no effort.

(You will find...)

It is madness and not sadness

what breaks my voice in two.

Such a wound, such beauty

to know there is still so much love left.

'Cause if you leave or if you leave me,

I'm going to fly so far away from pain.

'Cause losing you -and I'm not lying.

(You will find...)

It is madness and not sadness

what breaks my voice in two.

Such a wound, such beauty

to know there is still so much love left.

'Cause if you leave or if you leave me,

I'm going to fly so far away from pain.

'Cause losing you -and I'm not lying-

takes me no effort... takes me no effort.

Takes me no effort... no effort.

Effort... effort.

Effort... effort.
