Lo de más [English translation]

The least important are all your secrets

That I suspect, smell, touch and always respect.

The least important is that you’re never enough for me,

That your love enriches me, while making me poor.

The least important is that your feelings

Don’t go along with my rebirth.

The least important is the long loneliness,

The least important is too big a heart.

Chorus:

What matters less is my reason.

What matters less is never having you

While I sing my love

Trying to catch

The words that say what’s too much.

Lovingly, in a way that does not smear,

My contempt will kiss your life

There, where you’re lonelier or more loved

Wherever you jump or turn around,

There will be a second of mine to sigh it up.

It’s the pledge of the long loneliness,

It’s the pledge of so much heart.

Chorus:

Little bird, dolphin of my two roses,

Scare away my blows and not the butterfly

Do your dance on my waist,

Incomparable scent, oh bread of my madness

With your body dressed by my hands,

I’ll make up a new childhood, by the sea.

From across the sea I’m telling you this in loneliness,

From across the sea, a heart is launching it to you.
