Coleccionando Heridas
Collecting Wounds

by Karol G and Marco Antonio Solís

[Verse 1]

Karol G
¿Será que el amor no es pa mí?
Could it be that love is not for me?

Que no nací pa esto, que no sé pedir
That I wasn't born for this, that I don't know how to ask

Porque me da lo opuesto, siempre me toca a mí hacerme compañía
Because it gives me the opposite, it always falls to me to keep myself company

Marco Antonio Solís
¿Será que para ser feliz, hay que ser como el resto
Could it be that to be happy, one has to be like the rest

y me toque fingir que sé vivir con esto?
and it's my turn to pretend that I know how to live with this?

Se volvió normal coleccionar heridas
It became normal to collect wounds

[Chorus]
¿Será que se quedó el amor en otros tiempos?
Could it be that love stayed in other times?

Eso dicen los expertos, nadie quiere en estos días
That's what the experts say, nobody wants to love in these days

Marco Antonio Solís
Vivir como si no tuviera sentimientos
Living as if one didn't have feelings

Yo no tengo ese talento, yo sí siento todavía
I don't have that talent, I do still feel

Karol G
Pero quiero creer, que aún se puede querer
But I want to believe, that one can still love

y si no, seguiré coleccionando heridas
and if not, I will continue collecting wounds

[Verse 2]

Marco Antonio Solís
Tengo de amiga a la soledad, un día de ti yo le conté
I have loneliness as a friend, one day I told her about you

Le dije que odiarte no se me da, y aunque no quería, te solté
I told her that hating you doesn't come naturally to me, and even though I didn't want to, I let you go

Dicen que el tiempo cura todo, pero ha pasado mucho tiempo
They say time cures everything, but a lot of time has passed

Karol G
Y este sufrimiento no se va, con él viviendo me quedé
And this suffering does not go away, I stayed living with it

No sé cuándo amanecerá, en las noches no para de llover
I don't know when the sun will rise, in the nights it doesn't stop raining

Diosito, te quiero preguntar, ¿de dónde se apagan los pensamientos?
Dear God, I want to ask you, where do thoughts get turned off?

[Chorus]
¿Será que se quedó el amor en otros tiempos?
Could it be that love stayed in other times?

Eso dicen los expertos, nadie quiere en estos días
That's what the experts say, nobody wants to love in these days

Vivir como si no tuviera sentimientos
Living as if one didn't have feelings

Yo no tengo ese talento, yo sí siento todavía
I don't have that talent, I do still feel

Pero quiero creer, que aún se puede querer
But I want to believe, that one can still love

y si no, seguiré coleccionando heridas
and if not, I will continue collecting wounds
