Miente [English translation]

Be quiet…I beg you…Don’t ask me

Anything that I don’t want to hear.

There’s no need for another word between the two of us.

Be quiet, because your eyes sum up everything already

And they don’t stop talking.

I prefer to breath quietly than to have to accept

That it is already very late, that you don’t love me,

That as a coward you deceive me now.

If it’s true that we have no way out

I beg you, lie!

Because this reality is killing me.

I prefer that you invent a lie today,

Than to know that there is no tomorrow.

If you can lie and tell me that nothing is going on…

That I will always be the one

In your life; that you are mine in body and spirit.

Be quiet, because when you are quiet,

The memories calm down this tempest.

It’s not easy to breath silently and

To have to accept that it’s already very late.

That you don’t love me as a coward

And out of spite, you deceive me now.

If it’s true that we have no way out

I beg you, lie!

Because this reality is killing me.

I prefer that you invent a lie today,

Than to know that there is no tomorrow

If you can lie and tell me that nothing is going on…

That I will always be the one

In your life; that you are mine in body and spirit.
