El Pañuelo

Romeo Santos, ROSALÍA· 2022
#Chagrin d'amour#Désir#Guérison
[ROSALÍA]
[ROSALÍA]
Mi cantar
My singing
Mi canto e' un lamento
My song is a lament
Ay, porque estoy enamora'
Oh, because I am in love
Y no soy correspondi'a
And it's unrequited
Destroza' estoy por dentro
I am destroyed inside
[Romeo Santos]
[Romeo Santos]
Un cigarrillo me acompaña al abismo
A cigarette accompanies me to the abyss
Igual que tú, no tengo suerte en el amor
Just like you, I have no luck in love
Amar a ciegas te quita poder
Loving blindly takes away your power
Por el riesgo al corazón dañando sentimientos
Due to the risk to the heart, damaging feelings
[ROSALÍA]
[ROSALÍA]
Un lunes se marchó
On a Monday he left
A las 6:24, yo dormida, de mí no se despidió
At 6:24, while I was sleeping, he didn't say goodbye to me
Y hoy derramo cada lágrima en tu pecho
And today I shed every tear on your chest
No eres él, pero quiero un beso
You are not him, but I want a kiss
[Romeo Santos & ROSALÍA]
[Romeo Santos & ROSALÍA]
Te incito
I urge you
A aliviarnos las penas y curarnos en la cama
To soothe our sorrows and heal ourselves in bed
Te admito
I admit to you
Baby, si haces que lo olvide, puede que vuelva mañana
Baby, if you make me forget him, I might come back tomorrow
Te aseguro
I assure you
Mami, seré el pañuelo
Mami, I will be the handkerchief
Mata la angustia aquí en mi cuerpo
Kill the anguish here on my body
Papi, dame un consuelo
Papi, give me comfort
Seré la cura, quiero tu cuerpo
I will be the cure, I want your body
[Romeo Santos]
[Romeo Santos]
Uh-ah-ah-uh-ah
Uh-ah-ah-uh-ah
Escucha las palabras
Listen to the words
'Pérame
Wait for me
[ROSALÍA]
[ROSALÍA]
No hubo un mensaje ni hubo una nota en la mesa
There was no message and no note on the table
Ese cabrón solo dejó su poloche'
That bastard only left his polo shirt
Amar a ciegas te quita poder
Loving blindly takes away your power
Pero esta noche nos elevamos pa'l cielo
But tonight we elevate to heaven
[Romeo Santos & ROSALÍA]

Papi, give me comfort
Seré la cura, quiero tu cuerpo
I will be the cure, I want your body

¿A ti te gusta mi bachata, amiguita?
Do you like my bachata, little friend?
Ajá
Aha
La ROSALÍA
La ROSALÍA
[Romeo Santos]
[Romeo Santos]
Es evidente que pasamos por lo mismo
It's obvious we are going through the same thing
Pero nadie ha morío por amor
But nobody has died for love
Esta noche ven, refúgiate en mis brazos
Tonight come, take refuge in my arms
Desquítate con rabia pasional
Get even with passionate rage
No es casual que nos hayamos encontra'o
It's no coincidence that we have met
Come on
Come on
