Amor cobarde [English translation]

All your fears force you to travel far

And you know well that, when you're away,

Every minute that passes is like an eternity.

This separation is so bitter,

This is a trial that the heart must endure

And I'm telling you again that, like this,

Life is too difficult to go on.

I want to enjoy your company,

I want to laugh when you feel happiness

And share your freedom,

Without ever arguing or having to ask questions.

I want to share all your dreams

From the greatest to the most insignificant,

And I never want to have to reproach you

For this exhibition of cowardly love.

The distance makes me suffer so...

As if you were some sort of hallucination,

I can feel you all around me

And your voice caresses me

And I feel sorry for myself.

You're in every corner of my bedroom

And in the unrelenting ticking of the clock

And instead of facing reality,

My world disguises itself of you.

I want to enjoy your company,

I want to laugh when you feel happiness

And share your freedom,

Without ever arguing or having to ask questions.

I want to share all your dreams

From the greatest to the most insignificant,

And I never want to have to reproach you

For this exhibition of cowardly love.

(I want to feel)

Accepting the truth is so very saddening

(I want to laugh)

But then happiness delves into it

(And compare)

You must think about everything I'm saying

(Your freedom)

So you can heal my wounded heart

(I want to dream)

So that the closeness of love returns

And I can see life without the shadows of loneliness

You have the solution

So that, really soon, we can be together again.

I want to enjoy your company,

I want to laugh when you feel happiness

And share your freedom,

Without ever arguing or having to ask questions.

I want to share all your dreams

From the greatest to the most insignificant,

And I never want to have to reproach you

For this exhibition of cowardly love.

I want to enjoy your company and your happiness

Oooh ooh oooh...

From the greatest to the most insignificant

Oooooooooh...
