el ingeniero Lyrics Meaning Alleh | Yorghaki | LA CIUDAD
The poet asks, ‘Who was the engineer that helped you build that heart of steel that never beat again?’ This line captures the struggle of reconnecting with someone who’s emotionally shut off. The performers use fire and ice as metaphors to describe their clashing emotions.
Hm, yeahHm, yeah.
En cuerdas, colgamos de un hiloOn the ropes, we’re hanging by a thread.
Cansado de actuar que va to tranquiloI’m tired of acting like everything’s calm,
Y tu como si nadawhile you act as if nothing’s wrong.
Como lo haces pa aparentar que estas bien?How do you manage to pretend you’re fine?
Sera igual cuando nadie te ve?Is it the same when nobody’s watching you?
Empecemos de cero pa volver a sentirLet’s start from scratch to feel once again.
Dime quien fue el ingeniero que te ayudo a construirTell me, who was the engineer that helped you build,
Ese corazon de acero que no volvio a latirthat heart of steel that never beat again?
Si aun le temes a los truenos, algo aun puedes sentir (-ir, -ir, -ir)If you’re still afraid of thunder, you can still feel something (feel, feel, feel).
No te mientas ni me mientas, a la cara mirameDon’t lie to yourself or to me, look me in the eye.
Que si el mundo se acabara, igual manana no estareBecause if the world ended, I won’t be here tomorrow anyway.
Buscaba en tu mirada una persona enamoradaI was looking in your eyes for someone in love,
Pero no queda rastro de lo que algun dia fuebut there’s no trace left of what used to be.
Si tu eres fuego y yo soy hieloIf you’re fire and I’m ice,
Vamo a ver quien se va a quemarlet’s see who’s going to get burned.
Vente ya, que me tienes graveCome here now, you’ve got me in a bad way.
Si sabes que te conozco como nadie sabe (sabe, sabe)Since you know I know you like nobody else does (does, does).
Como vas si haces que no duele?How are you doing if you’re pretending it doesn’t hurt?
No quiero que te me vayasI don’t want you to leave me.
No quiero que vuelesI don’t want you to fly away.
Pa que empecemos de cero, pa volver a sentirSo we can start from scratch, to feel once again.
Dime quien fue el ingeniero que te ayudo a construirTell me, who was the engineer that helped you build,
Ese corazon de acero que no volvio a latirthat heart of steel that never beat again?
Si aun le temes a los truenos, algo aun puedes sentir (-ir, -ir, -ir)If you’re still afraid of thunder, you can still feel something (feel, feel, feel).
Si te vas, llevame contigo (lleva-llevame contigo)If you leave, take me with you (take, take me with you).
Dame una senal, que sobran motivos (oh-oh)Give me a sign, for there are plenty of reasons.
Y tu como si nadaAnd you’re acting as if nothing’s wrong.
Como lo haces pa aparentar que estas bien?How do you manage to pretend you’re fine?
Sera igual cuando nadie te ve?Is it the same when nobody’s watching you?
Empecemos de cero pa volver a sentirLet’s start from scratch to feel once again.
Dime quien fue el ingeniero que te ayudo a construirTell me, who was the engineer that helped you build,
Ese corazon de acero que no volvio a latirthat heart of steel that never beat again?
Si aun le temes a los truenos, algo aun puedes sentir (-ir, -ir, -ir)If you’re still afraid of thunder, you can still feel something (feel, feel, feel).
Si te vas, llevame contigoIf you leave, take me with you.
Lleva-llevame contigoTake, take me with you.
Dame una senalGive me a sign.
Que so-, que sobran motivosFor there, for there are plenty of reasons.
