LA CARTA
Heroes del Silencio (Senderos de Traición) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Y, sin fuerzas para contestar
Mil pedazos al viento nos separan
Pondré casa en un país
Lejano para olvidar
Este miedo hacia ti, este miedo hacia ti
Y no hace mucho que rompí
Tu recuerdo pensando
Pero el tiempo y la distancia
No son todo para mí
Siempre hay algo que me hace volver
Siempre he escuchado, y ya no te creo
¿Por qué no te entiendo?
¿Por qué estás tan lejos?
Siempre he escuchado, y ya no te creo
¿Por qué no te entiendo?
¿Por qué estás tan lejos?
Sé que siempre he sido así
Y que no tengo remedio
Ni lo quiero tener
Pero ni el miedo ni tu cartas
Lo son todo para mí
Quizás otra vez te echaré la culpa a ti
Siempre he escuchado, y ya no te creo
¿Por qué no te entiendo?
¿Por qué estás tan lejos?
Siempre he escuchado, y ya no te creo
¿Por qué no te entiendo?
¿Por qué estás tan lejos?

No hace mucho que leí tu carta
Not long ago, I read your letter
Y, sin fuerzas para contestar
And, without the strength to respond
Mil pedazos al viento nos separan
A thousand pieces separate us in the wind
Pondré casa en un país lejano para olvidar
I will build a home in a distant country to forget
Este miedo hacia ti, este miedo hacia ti
This fear towards you, this fear towards you
Y no hace mucho que rompí tu recuerdo pensando acabar de una vez
And not long ago, I broke your memory thinking to end it once and for all
Pero el tiempo y la distancia no son todo para mí
But time and distance are not everything for me
Siempre hay algo que me hace volver
There is always something that makes me come back
Siempre he escuchado, y ya no te creo
I have always listened, and I no longer believe you
¿Por qué no te entiendo?
Why don't I understand you?
¿Por qué estás tan lejos?
Why are you so far away?
Sé que siempre he sido así
I know that I have always been like this
Y que no tengo remedio, ni lo quiero tener
And that I have no remedy, nor do I want one
Pero ni el miedo ni tu cartas lo son todo para mí
But neither fear nor your letters are everything to me
Quizás otra vez te echaré la culpa a ti
Perhaps once again, I will blame you
