Adictos al fuego
Addicted to the fire
De los principios
Of the beginnings
Adictos al vaivén de la noria
Addicted to the sway of the Ferris wheel
Y a los primeros mordiscos
And to the first bites
Hay algo hermoso al dejarse marchar
There's something beautiful in letting go
Hay algo bueno
There's something good
Aunque no queramos verlo
Even though we don't want to see it
Hay algo bueno
There's something good
Uno es del lugar al que quiero volver
One is from the place I want to return to
Uno es a menudo distinto de lo que se espera
One is often different from what's expected
Nos importa una mierda admitirlo
We don't give a f*ck to admit it
Solo fuimos la luz de una vela
We were just the light of a candle
Nos quedamos a medio centímetro
We stayed half a centimeter away
Aguarda el verano
Summer waits
Sentado en sus tobillos
Sitting on its ankles
Prefiere recostarse en la luna
Prefers to lie back on the moon
A mí me ocurre lo mismo
The same thing happens to me
Hay algo hermoso al dejarse marchar
There's something beautiful in letting go
Hay algo bueno
There's something good
Aunque no queramos verlo
Even though we don't want to see it
Hay algo bueno
There's something good
Nos importa una mierda admitirlo
We don't give a f*ck to admit it
Nos ponía cachondos el riesgo
The risk turned us on
Nos quedamos a medio centímetro
We stayed half a centimeter away
Los recuerdo bailando en el filo
I remember them dancing on the edge
Solo fuimos la luz de una vela
We were just the light of a candle
Nos quedamos a medio centímetro
We stayed half a centimeter away

Did you like this lyrics translation?
vaivén — swaying / to and fro
Vaivén refers to a back-and-forth or swaying motion. It's a more evocative word than simply saying "movement" and is often used to describe rhythmic or repetitive motion.
In "A Medio Centímetro," Leiva uses vaivén to describe the "vaivén de la noria" (the swaying of the Ferris wheel). This imagery captures the cyclical, up-and-down nature of relationships or experiences, making it a memorable and interesting word choice.
