Kettering

Ojalá hubiera sabido en ese primer minuto que nos conocimos
I wish that I had known in that first minute we met
La deuda impagable que te debía
The unpayable debt that I owed you
Porque te había abusado de ese hueso que te rechazó
Because you'd been abused by that bone that refused you
Y me contrataste para compensar eso
And you hired me to make up for that

Caminando en esa habitación cuando tenías tubos en tus brazos
Walking in that room when you had tubes in your arms
Esas alarmas de morfina cantando fuera de sintonía
Those singing morphine alarms out of tune
Te mantuvo durmiendo e incluso, y yo no les creí
Kept you sleeping and even, and I didn't believe them
Cuando te llamaron huracán trueno
When they called you a hurricane thunderclap

Cuando estaba comprobando signos vitales sugerí una sonrisa
When I was checking vitals I suggested a smile
No hablaste por un tiempo, te estabas congelando
You didn't talk for awhile, you were freezing
Dijiste que odiabas mi tono, te hacía sentir tan solo
You said you hated my tone, it made you feel so alone
Así que me dijiste que debía irme
And so you told me I ought to be leaving

Pero algo me mantuvo parado junto a la cama del hospital
But something kept me standing by that hospital bed
Debí renunciar, pero en vez de eso me encargué de ti
I should have quit but instead I took care of you
Me hiciste dormir y desigual, y no les creí
You made me sleep and uneven, and I didn't believe them
Cuando me dijeron que no había nada que te salvara
When they told me that there was no saving you
