Mitad de Whisky

Halfway through the whisky A la mitad del whisky I always feel drawn to the truth Siempre me da por la verdad I remember your hands Me acuerdo de tus manos Bringing order to my anxiety Poniendo orden en mi ansiedad

I loved you in my own way Yo te quise a mi manera Bad unequal measure Mal medida desigual How a broken man wants it Como quiere un hombre roto That he didn't learn to rest Que no aprendió a descansar

And now apologies are unnecessary Y ahora sobran las disculpas Where the ability to love was lacking Donde faltó saber amar There are mistakes that don't scream Hay errores que no gritan But they still break you Pero te parten igual

Halfway through the whisky A la mitad del whisky You sit down here again Vuelves a sentarte aquí The way he looked at me Con esa forma de mirarme That doesn't let me lie Que no me deja mentir Halfway through the whisky A la mitad del whisky I understand what I lost Entiendo lo que perdí You weren't the one asking for so much No eras tú pidiendo tanto It was me, not knowing how to love Era yo sin saber amar

The city closes its doors La ciudad cierra persianas And my guilt opens a blues song Y mi culpa abre un blues Your coat in my memory Tu abrigo en mi memoria Keep turning off my light Sigue apagándome la luz

I wanted to beat fate Quise ganarle al destino With pride and a bad mood Con orgullo y mal humor But love doesn't last Pero el amor no se sostiene Only with hunger and heat Solo con hambre y calor

If time takes you far away Si el tiempo te lleva lejos I'm not going to argue with him No le voy a discutir There are people who leave Hay personas que se van To teach you how to measure Para enseñarte a medir

Halfway through the whisky A la mitad del whisky You sit down here again Vuelves a sentarte aquí The way he looked at me Con esa forma de mirarme That doesn't let me lie Que no me deja mentir Halfway through the whisky A la mitad del whisky I understand what I lost Entiendo lo que perdí You weren't the one asking for so much No eras tú pidiendo tanto It was me, not knowing how to love Era yo sin saber amar

And when the glass reaches zero Y cuando el vaso queda en cero It's my turn to listen to myself Me toca escucharme a mí
