Luna Roja
Camilo Séptimo | Manuel Mendoza • From “MAPAS”
Luna Roja Lyrics Translation Camilo Séptimo | Manuel Mendoza | MAPAS
Camilo Séptimo describes a partner whose warmth has left. He notes how love fades with every breath, ‘fading like a sigh into the sea’ (Como un suspiro hacia el mar). The writer notes his own failure to meet expectations and the cost of mental scars.
Es que no puedo entenderme con tu menteI just can’t seem to connect with your mind.
Me está costando aceptarlo esta vezI’m finding it so hard to accept it this time.
No pensamos que esto iba a sucederWe didn’t think this was ever going to happen.
Nunca me lo vi venirI never saw it coming.
Mil promesas se van quemándose en mi pecho sin piedad, ohA thousand promises are burning mercilessly in my chest, oh.
Cenizas me dejarás, en un lindo recuerdo quedaráYou’ll leave me with ashes, and it’ll fade into a beautiful memory.
Sé que no es por ti, estoy aquí atrapadoI know it isn’t because of you, yet I’m trapped here,
Sin saber por qué me siento derrotadowithout knowing why I feel so utterly defeated.
En cada respirar tu amor se vaWith every single breath, your love slips away,
Como un suspiro hacia el marfading like a sigh into the sea.
Sé que nunca fui lo que tu esperabasI know I was never what you were hoping for.
Esta vez se fue el calor de tu miradaThis time, the warmth has completely left your eyes.
En cada respirar tu amor se vaWith every single breath, your love slips away,
Como un suspiro hacia el marfading like a sigh into the sea.
Me has dejado cicatrices en la menteYou’ve left deep scars etched into my mind.
Me ha costado cada parte de mi serIt has cost me every single piece of my soul.
Ya no supe cómo poder contenermeI no longer knew how to hold myself together.
Nunca me lo vi venirI never saw it coming.
Mil promesas se van quemándose en mi pecho sin piedad, ohA thousand promises are burning mercilessly in my chest, oh.
Cenizas me dejarás, en un lindo recuerdo quedaráYou’ll leave me with ashes, and it’ll fade into a beautiful memory.
Sé que no es por ti, estoy aquí atrapadoI know it isn’t because of you, yet I’m trapped here,
Sin saber por qué me siento derrotadowithout knowing why I feel so utterly defeated.
En cada respirar tu amor se vaWith every single breath, your love slips away,
Como un suspiro hacia el marfading like a sigh into the sea.
Sé que nunca fui lo que tu esperabasI know I was never what you were hoping for.
Esta vez se fue el calor de tu miradaThis time, the warmth has completely left your eyes.
En cada respirar tu amor se vaWith every single breath, your love slips away,
Como un suspiro hacia el marfading like a sigh into the sea.
Sé que no es por ti, estoy aquí atrapadoI know it isn’t because of you, yet I’m trapped here,
Sin saber por qué me siento derrotadowithout knowing why I feel so utterly defeated.
En cada respirar tu amor se vaWith every single breath, your love slips away,
Como un suspiro hacia el marfading like a sigh into the sea.
Sé que nunca fui lo que tu esperabasI know I was never what you were hoping for.
Esta vez se fue el calor de tu miradaThis time, the warmth has completely left your eyes.
En cada respirar tu amor se vaWith every single breath, your love slips away,
Como un suspiro hacia el marfading like a sigh into the sea.
