Olvidé respirar [English translation]

I forgot to dream

While I was throwing stones at the moon

With the force of a tear.

I forgot to wake up

To the voice of your wordless caresses.

We wanted to hunt blindly

For the light that we have never, ever seen.

And I forgot to breathe, like a kiss underwater.

And I forgot to breathe, as I was sorry to leave you behind.

There isn't enough oxygen,

There are no words, there is no time.

I can't take it any more.

Undress my skin

And the barrier of my lips.1

I will dig my fingers

Into the geography of your back.

We wanted to erase all doubt

And never, never, never have any regrets.

And I forgot to breathe, like a kiss underwater.

And I forgot to breathe, as I was sorry to leave you behind.

There isn't enough oxygen,

There are no words, there is no time.

Just a hope that will take us far away.

Make me want to love again.

And I forgot to breathe, like a kiss underwater.

And I forgot to breathe, as I was sorry to leave you behind.

There isn't enough oxygen,

There are no words, there is no time.

I can't take it any more...

I forgot...You forget me...

1. The French word here is "corset" from the Spanish "corsé." Somehow, I didn't think a reference to that piece of clothing would work as well in English as it apparently does in the other two languages. But I could be convinced otherwise.
