Vidas paralelas [English translation]

How much time are we going to waste

In meeting, in recognizing each other?1

And in your parallel life, I want

You to want me in the morning light

How can I know if what you saw in me

Isn't the very thing that made you go away?

And in my parallel life

I want to convince you that we what we had worked

My walls boxed in all the

Questions about the two2

And at the end of it all I've got what I want

And you're only part of what I am

How do I know if what you feel

Is the same when you're no longer here?

And in your parallel life, there is

The promise that you'll come back

My walls boxed in all the

Questions about the two

And in the end of it all I've got what I want

And you're only part of what I am

Part of what I am

(Parallel, to-to-toa...)3

How many parallel lives

Do you want to live before you lose?

(Parallel, to-to-toa...)

1. 'Reconocer' could also imply an open-ended 'recognize', as in, "When will we recognize [something that went wrong, something we haven't realized yet]?" Or it could imply meeting someone again.2. 'Los dos' is kind of vague here; she might be saying "All these questions about the two of us", but she doesn't use a personal pronoun. Interpret as you want to.3. 'To-to-toa' is just a noise, like an onomatopoeia. It kind of sounds like 'toda', though, which would give the meaning 'parallel, all of it'.
