English Translation | solo un nombre

mafalda cardenal

We Went From Telling Each Other the Truth
To saying that never, never again
Would we see each other
We went from spending hours by the sea
To throwing a thousand things in each other’s faces
Throwing all of this away

And now, I am just a name
That you’ve grown tired of hearing
And now, I’m just a stranger
A stranger who knows everything about you
And now, if you say my name
I don’t know if you’ll be calling me
I don’t like my name anymore
If the name Mafalda doesn’t come from you
I’m just a name without you

We went from loving each other to wanting to kill each other
To not calling, because calling would mean shouting
To not drinking, because drinking means getting entangled again
To crying, to starting again (Ah)
And from loving to hating, and from holding on to letting go
And from beginning to ending, and from laughing to crying
And from being so much to so little, and from being together to with others
And from being everything to being nothing

And now, I am just a name
That you’ve grown tired of hearing
And now, I’m just a stranger
A stranger who knows everything about you
And now, if you say my name
I don’t know if you’ll be calling me
I don’t like my name anymore
If the name Mafalda doesn’t come from you
I’m just a name without you

And now, I am just half of what I really am
Because you’re not here, no, you’re not here anymore
And now, you’re just a song that lives in my voice notes
Because you’re not here, no, you’re not here anymore

And now, I am just a name
That you’ve grown tired of hearing
And now, I’m just a stranger
A stranger who knows everything about you
And now, if you say my name
I don’t know if you’ll be calling me
I don’t like my name anymore
If the name Mafalda doesn’t come from you
I’m just a name without you
