Si hasta en mi propia cara
Even right to my face
Coqueteabas mi vida
You used to flirt, my love
Que sera a mis espaldas
What must it be behind my back
Y yo preso por ti
And I imprisoned for you
Unos guardias me han dicho
Some guards have told me
Que ya tu andas perdida
That you're already lost
Y que ya ni te acuerdas
And that you don't even remember
Lo que hiciste de mi
What you did to me
Que rumbo tomaste mi vida
What path did you take, my love
Que puerta a tu paso se abrió
What door opened for you
Que luna te espera angustiada
What moon awaits you distressed
Oyendo tu nombre
Hearing your name
Oyendo mi voz
Hearing my voice
Que labios te cierran los ojos
What lips close your eyes
Los ojos que a besos cerré
The eyes that I kissed shut
Auroras que son puñaladas
Dawns that are stabs
Las rejas no matan
The bars don't kill
Pero si tu maldito querer
But your damned love does
Que labios te cierran los ojos
What lips close your eyes
Los ojos que a besos cerré
The eyes that I kissed shut
Auroras que son puñaladas
Dawns that are stabs
Las rejas no matan
The bars don't kill
Pero si tu maldito querer
But your damned love does

Did you like this lyrics translation?
puñaladas — stab wounds
Puñaladas literally translates to "stab wounds" or "dagger thrusts." It's a strong and dramatic word that immediately evokes a sense of pain and betrayal.
In the context of this song, the singer is in prison, lamenting his lover's infidelity. He uses "auroras que son puñaladas" (dawns that are stab wounds) to express how each new day, instead of bringing hope, brings him immense emotional pain, feeling as if he's being repeatedly stabbed by her betrayal and his own suffering.
