Oncemil Lyrics in English Abel Pintos , Malú

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Oncemil by Abel Pintos from Spanish to English.
I don't like to hurt the one I love
I don't like to bring the past, here, into the present
I don't like to feel absent
When you live by my side
I don't like to kill time
To smile when I'm not happy, just turn myself
Into a ghost, lover of everyone
Selling my soul to the devil
I don't like to live like this
Like this
Like this, as if it didn't hurt
Like this, as if I weren't here
Drowning in silent words
With hands hardened from clawing the sand
Split into eleven thousand pieces
Silencing the voice of the soul for us both
Accepting that I'm a lost cause
I don't like to hurt the one I love
I don't like to bring the past, here, into the present
I don't like to feel absent
When you live by my side
I don't like to kill time
To smile when I'm not happy, just turn myself
Into a ghost, lover of everyone
Selling my soul to the devil
I don't like to live like this
Like this, as if it didn't hurt
Like this, as if I weren't here
Drowning in silent words
With hands hardened from clawing the sand
Split into eleven thousand pieces
Silencing the voice of the soul for us both
Accepting that I'm a lost cause
The sum of both halves
The tear feeds the river
The cure of vanities
The light opening a path
To give forgetfulness to the solitudes
Like this, as if it didn't hurt
Like this, as if I weren't here
Split into eleven thousand pieces
Silencing the voice of the soul for us both
Accepting that I'm a lost cause

SONG MEANING

In Oncemil ("Eleven Thousand") Abel Pintos teams up with Spanish powerhouse Malú to dive straight into the heart of a love that hurts as much as it heals. The narrator lists everything he does not like doing in a relationship: dragging painful memories into the present, pretending to smile when he feels empty, wasting time, or turning into a ghost who sells his soul for approval. Each confession paints a picture of someone suffocating in unspoken words, broken into “eleven thousand pieces,” yet still standing right beside the person he loves.

Despite all that darkness, the duet insists on hope. When the singers blend their voices, you can hear the idea that two wounded halves can still make a whole. They hint at tears becoming rivers, vanity finding its cure, and light forcing its way through the cracks. Oncemil is a raw reminder that admitting our pain is the first step toward mending it—because only then can we stop “living as if it did not hurt” and let our souls speak again.
