Tu tirabas los dados
you threw the dice
Yo burlaba la suerte
I dodged luck
Yo la última palabra
I, the last word
Tu un pero que añadir
you, a 'but' to add
De tanto ser felices

Se me olvidó quererte
I forgot to love you
Yo buscaba un tesoro
I looked for a treasure
Tu querías un botín
you wanted a
Yo era un flaco bendito
I was a blessed guy
Por grupis juguetonas
because of playful groupies
Tu el manjar exquisito
you, the exquisite
De la mesa de un rey
from a King's table
Yo el trovador cascado
I, the
Tu la gran prima donna
you, the greatest prima donna
Tu reina sin corona
you, crownless queen
Yo fuera de la ley
I, an outlaw
La canción que te escribo

No es más que una postdata
is nothing but a postdata
Si la bailas con otro
if you dance it with another
No te acuerdes de mí
don't remember me
Cuando me abandonaste
when you abandoned me
Bordé un puente de plata
I a silver bridge
Ni tu eras para tanto
you weren't that much
Ni tu eras para tanto
you weren't that much
Ni yo soy para ti
neither was I for you
No es que esté triste, carajo, es que me acuerdo…
it's not that I'm sad, d*mn, it's just I remember
Tu firmabas la paz

Nosotros dos

you were looking for a husband
Yo encontré un escondite
I found where to hide
Tu sombra es un pecado de la imaginación
your shadow is a sin of imagination
Cuando te haya olvidado
when I will have forgotten you
Aun te echaré de menos
I will still miss you
Y la alzaré la penúltima copa a tu salud
and I will raise the last glass cheering for you
Me obligaste a elegir entre tu y el veneno
you made me choose between you and poison
Yo tiré una moneda
I flipped a coin
al aire y salió cruz
to the air, and it landed tails
La canción que te escribo
the song I'm writing you
No es más que una postdata
is nothing but a postdata
Si la bailas con otro
if you dance it with another
No te acuerdes de mí
don't remember me
Cuando me abandonaste
when you abandoned me
Bordé un puente de plata
I a silver bridge
Ni tu eras para tanto
you weren't that much
Ni tu eras para tanto
you weren't that much
Ni yo soy para ti
neither was I for you
