Singer: Natalia Lafourcade
¿Para qué sufrir si no hace falta?
¿Para qué ser fríos si el mundo nos hace sentir en casa?
¿Para qué dejar que todo muera?
Si aquello entre tú y yo nos hizo ver tan bello todo
Why suffer if we don’t need to?
Why be cold if the world makes us feel at home?
Why let everything die?
If that between you and I made everything seem so beautiful
Nunca imaginé que me casaría sin papeles
Nunca imaginé que después de un tiempo acabaría sin paredes
La casa que vimos nacer, los peces que dijeron adiós
Las noches llenas de comer, grabando esas canciones hasta el amanecer
I never imagined I’d get married without papers
I never imagined that after a while I’d end up without walls
The house we saw being born, the fishes that said bye
The nights full of eating, recording those songs till the sunrise
¿Para qué sufrir si no hace falta?
¿Para qué tirar nuestras cartas y fotografías?
¿Para qué olvidar que antes de todos nuestros besos?
Fuimos como hermanos, fuimos como amigos con derechos
Why suffer if we don’t need to?
Why to throw our letters and pictures?
Why forget that before all our kisses?
We were like siblings, we were friends with benefits
Nunca imagine que me casaría sin papeles
Nunca supe cómo hacer que fueras más feliz, te lo juro
Tenías que buscarte tú, tenía que salvarme yo
Teníamos que dejarlo ser e invento esta canción en el atardecer
I never imagined that I’d get married without papers
I never knew how to make you happier, I swear
You had to find yourself, I had to save myself
We had to let it be and I invented this song in the evening
Dueños de la noche fuimos
Dueños sin saber cómo nos perdimos
Cómo dividimos lazos sin saber por qué
Dueños de la noche fuimos, la quisimos bien
Todo se lo dimos como lo vivimos
Fuimos locos sin poder volver
Locos sin poder volver
We were the owners of the night
Owners without knowing how we lost each other
How we split ties without knowing why
We were the owners of the night, we loved it well
We gave it all as we lived it
We were crazy without being able to return
Crazy without being able to return
¿Para qué sufrir si no hace falta?
Why suffer if we don’t need to?
