Una Bala Lyrics Translation (from “Entre Nosotras”)
The lyrics of ‘Una Bala’ describe the intense pain of a broken heart, using the metaphor of a bullet to illustrate the depth of sorrow. DiDi R sings, ‘A bullet hurts less than missing you,’ capturing the unbearable longing for a lost love. The poet reflects on how the absence of a loved one can be more devastating than physical pain.
Yo no soy ajena a un mal de amorI’m no stranger to the pain of a lost love,
Contra mi voluntad, ya le sé a ese tema, uno más pa’l montónagainst my will, I’ve become an expert on the subject, just one more for the pile.
Pero esto es diferente, este sí me rompióBut this time is different, this one really broke me.
Se me fue de las manos y, aunque tuve cuidado, ni pa’ eso me alcanzóIt slipped through my fingers and, even though I was careful, it still wasn’t enough.
Dicen que no me va a matar un corazón que está roto a la mitadThey say a heart that’s broken in two isn’t going to kill me.
Y no es por exagerar, pero duele menos una bala que extrañarte, pensarteAnd I’m not exaggerating, but a bullet hurts less than missing you or thinking of you.
El saber que nunca vas a volver a abrazarme, besarmeThe knowledge that you’re never going to hold me or kiss me again.
Y los que no lo han vivido dicen que no me va a matar un corazón que está roto a la mitadAnd those who haven’t lived it say a heart that’s broken in two isn’t going to kill me.
Y no es por exagerar, pero duele menos una bala que extrañarte, pensarteAnd I’m not exaggerating, but a bullet hurts less than missing you or thinking of you.
El saber que nunca vas a volver a abrazarme, besarmeThe knowledge that you’re never going to hold me or kiss me again.
Pero duele menos una bala que extrañarteBut a bullet hurts less than missing you.
Y me mata de a poquito que no quieres ni tantitoAnd it’s slowly killing me that you don’t want, even in the slightest,
Regresar, ser mío en las mañanas y en la noche igualto return and be mine in the mornings and the nights just the same.
Amor, es imposible volver a encontrar a alguien que te quiera como yoMy love, it’s impossible to ever find someone else who’ll love you like I do.
Dicen que no me va a matar un corazón que está roto a la mitadThey say a heart that’s broken in two isn’t going to kill me.
Y no es por exagerar, pero duele menos una bala que extrañarte, pensarteAnd I’m not exaggerating, but a bullet hurts less than missing you or thinking of you.
El saber que nunca vas a volver a abrazarme, besarmeThe knowledge that you’re never going to hold me or kiss me again.
Y los que no lo han vivido dicen que no me va a matar un corazón que está roto a la mitadAnd those who haven’t lived it say a heart that’s broken in two isn’t going to kill me.
Y no es por exagerar, pero duele menos una bala que extrañarte, pensarteAnd I’m not exaggerating, but a bullet hurts less than missing you or thinking of you.
El saber que nunca vas a volver a abrazarme, besarmeThe knowledge that you’re never going to hold me or kiss me again.
Pero duele menos una bala que extrañarteBut a bullet hurts less than missing you.
