Lo que no fue no será [English translation]

In your hands I learned to drink water

I was a Sparrow that stayed prisoner in your cage

Because I cut my wings and you gave me seeds

It was so little, yet I still loved you

My singing was always complete for you

Without you I couldn't fly in other skies

But you left me alone, confused and forgotten

And another hand offered me the fruit I wanted

Chorus:

What was one day, won't be

Don't come back to search for me

I don't have anything to give you

Of your seeds I'm tired

Go fly in other skies

And leave your cage open

Perhaps another Sparrow will fall

But give him to drink

Let me turn on the lights, I don't want anything

If this was yesterday, I would've taken it

The first time you offer for me to stay

But if I don't love you now, what would I win?

Chorus:

What was one day, won't be

Don't come back to search for me

I don't have anything to give you

Of your seeds I'm tired

Go fly in other skies

And leave your cage open

Perhaps another Sparrow will fall

But give him to drink
