Faltó
Natalie López • From “Mil Pedazos”
Faltó Lyrics Translation (from “Mil Pedazos”)
Natalie López describes love’s absence with the line, ‘I haven’t seen the moon since you’ve been gone’. The vocalist talks about fake smiles and hollow words left after a relationship ends. She writes about staying faithful to a memory that nobody else understands.
Cuento estrellas con mi otra mitadI’m counting stars with my other half,
No encuentro la Luna desde que no estásbut I haven’t seen the moon since you’ve been gone.
No puedo estar sin yo cuestionarI can’t even exist without questioning everything,
Estar pensando si te vas o te quedasconstantly wondering if you’re leaving or staying.
El amor no se puede forzarLove is something you can’t force,
Porque fácil se te puede marchitar, ah-ah-ah-ahbecause it’ll wither away so easily. Ah-ah-ah-ah.
Faltó mucho para platicarThere was so much left for us to talk about,
Sigo siendo fiel aunque nadie me entenderáand I’m still staying faithful, even if no one understands.
Falsas sonrisas y palabrasAll these fake smiles and hollow words,
Quizás en otra vida te quedarásmaybe you’ll stay by my side in another life,
Y te podré cuidarand then I’ll be able to look after you.
Siento que yo ya perdí la feI feel like I’ve already lost my faith,
El incendio del amor ya no existebecause the fire of our love has died out.
Ya no existeIt’s gone now.
Faltó mucho para platicarThere was so much left for us to talk about,
Sigo siendo fiel aunque nadie me entenderáand I’m still staying faithful, even if no one understands.
Falsas sonrisas y palabrasAll these fake smiles and hollow words,
Quizás en otra vida te quedarásmaybe you’ll stay by my side in another life,
Y te podré cuidarand then I’ll be able to look after you.
