En Tus Manos Lyrics in English Despistaos
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song En Tus Manos by Despistaos from Spanish to English.
Éramos reflejos de un tiempo mejor
We were reflections of a better time
Dejando que la vida abrazara nuestra espalda
Letting life embrace our back
Íbamos a tientas sobre aquel colchón
We were fumbling on that mattress
Queriendo que la magia de esa luz no se acabara
Wanting the magic of that light not to end
Sin motor, volábamos contra reloj
Without an engine, we flew against the clock
Creíamos que nunca terminaba este verano
We thought this summer never ended
Y al caer el mundo se desvaneció
And when it fell, the world vanished
Perdiéndonos sin mapa desandamos nuestros pasos
Losing ourselves without a map, we retraced our steps
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Pasajeros de un instante
Passengers of an instant
Tú en tus charcos, yo en mis mares
You in your puddles, I in my seas
Tú tan hueso, yo tan piel
You so bone, I so skin
Tu tan quiero, yo tan siento
You so want, I so feel
Tú en tus manos, yo también
You in your hands, I too
Tú tan fuego de éste incendio, yo ceniza en un mantel
You so fire of this blaze, I ash on a tablecloth
Tú tan verso, yo tan cuento
You so verse, I so story
Tú en tus manos, yo también
You in your hands, I too
Descubrí mil formas de sobrevivir
I discovered a thousand ways to survive
Juntando los pedazos y abriendo las alas
Gathering the pieces and opening the wings
Duele tanto, y aún así a veces me acuerdo de ti
It hurts so much, and still sometimes I remember you
Y suelo imaginarte al otro lado de la cama
And I usually imagine you on the other side of the bed
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Tú en tus charcos yo en mis mares
You in your puddles, I in my seas
Tú tan hueso, yo tan piel
You so bone, I so skin
Tu tan quiero, yo tan siento
You so want, I so feel
Tú en tus manos, yo también
You in your hands, I too
Tú tan fuego de éste incendio, yo ceniza en un mantel
You so fire of this blaze, I ash on a tablecloth
Tú tan verso, yo tan cuento
You so verse, I so story
Tú en tus manos, yo también
You in your hands, I too
Pasajeros de un instante
Passengers of an instant
Tú en tus charcos, yo en mis mares
You in your puddles, I in my seas
Tú tan hueso, yo tan piel
You so bone, I so skin
Tu tan quiero, yo tan siento
You so want, I so feel
Tú en tus manos, yo también
You in your hands, I too
Tú tan fuego de éste incendio, yo ceniza en un mantel
You so fire of this blaze, I ash on a tablecloth
Tú tan verso, yo tan cuento
You so verse, I so story
Tú en tus manos, yo también
You in your hands, I too

Did you like this lyrics translation?
a tientas — groping / fumbling
A tientas is an interesting adverbial phrase that literally means 'by touch' or 'groping'. It describes moving or acting without clear vision or knowledge, relying solely on touch or instinct.
In the song, the lyrics "íbamos a tientas sobre aquel colchón" (we were groping on that mattress) evoke a sense of intimacy, uncertainty, and perhaps a playful exploration in the dark. It's a less common phrase that adds a poetic and evocative layer to the narrative of a past relationship.
