Dando vueltas Lyrics Translation – Términos & Condiciones Soundtrack

Usted Señalemelo describes a mind stuck in a loop of memory and regret. The lyrics tell the story of someone trying to dodge the pain while admitting their own role in the mess. He captures the frustrating cycle in the line ‘Going round and round, over and over again’ (Una y otra vez dando vueltas). The mood shifts between frustrated Spanish verses and an English chorus about the dangers of taking things for granted.

Estaba bien sin vos y regresasteI was doing just fine without you until you came back,
¿Cómo olvidarme hoy que me dejaste?how can I forget the day you walked away?
Una y otra vez dando vueltasGoing ’round and ’round, over and over again,
Chocando orillas di con quecrashing against the shores, I finally realized that,
Soy el único artífice de volverI’m the only one responsible for coming back.
Todo el tiempo esquivando a la muerteI’ve spent all my time just trying to dodge the end.
Uh, uh, uh, uh-uh-uh-uh-uhUh, uh, uh, uh-uh-uh-uh-uh,
No sabes lo que pierdes hasta que lo tienesyou don’t know what you’re losing until it’s in your hands.

No sabes lo que tienes hasta que lo pierdesYou don’t know what you’ve got until it’s gone.
Oh-ohOh-oh.
Let it go, take it slow, lose control overflowLet it go, take it slow, lose control and overflow,
Knuckles cracking, okay, move, I got itmy knuckles are cracking, okay, move, I’ve got this.
Lock it in, breathe it out, drown in sinLock it in, breathe it out, drown in the mistakes we’ve made,
Sinking in your backseatI’m sinking into your backseat.
Oh-oh-oh-ohOh-oh-oh-oh.
You know I can’t ever sleep alone, never really tried, but I get alongYou know I can’t ever sleep alone, I’ve never really tried, but I’m getting by,
Could be getting wild, but I’m hanging on the telephonethings could be getting wild, but I’m just waiting by the phone.
No use in crying these crocodile tearsThere’s no use in crying those fake ‘crocodile’ tears,
Won’t help your lying, but you can try me, try methey won’t help your lies, but you can go ahead and try me.
Uh, uh, uh, uh-uh-uh-uh-uhUh, uh, uh, uh-uh-uh-uh-uh,
