Checkmate / Jaque Mate |
| It’s not because I lied to you that you should not believe me now |
| I knew that I was dancing in the face of a pending catastrophe |
| I don’t believe in this love anymore, but I long for it just the same |
| Like hood-wind believers who still make offerings |
| Kisses and carreses I gave to others |
| For all the gold I stole from us |
| Cuando te fujiste, me dijiste (when you left, you said) |
| No podemos ser felices, (we can’t be happy) |
| Amaneci cansada y triste (I woke up tired and sad) |
| Mira mi vida, l’amor, y esta nostra historia. |
| (Here's my life, the love and our |
| history) |
| Sono nuestra fe no volvera. |
| (just our faith is not coming back) |
| They say the eyes are the windows on the soul |
| Don’t close yours, because it hurts my dear |
| We despise what we have built |
| We made our lives a pot-lap ceremony |
| Who gave more, who took less |
| There is no death in the game of chess |
| Just a wounded queen and an injured king who have lost their dreams |
| Hoy soy mas fuerte, (today I am stronger) |
| Cher que te vuelvo aver (I want to see you again) |
| Bajo el quiso de otra mujer (take down the love of the other woman) |
| Creo que voy a lo que se. |
| (I think i want whatever) |
