Translation of the song Engaña artist Gustavo Cerati

Todo comenzó en un cuarto que olvidé

Everything started in a room I forgot

el roce de la seda la despertaba...

the touch of the silk woke her up...

Frente al ventanal nos pusimos a jugar

In front of the large window we started playing

a decirnos la verdad que más engaña saber.

to tell the truth that misleads the most to know.

Recuerdo el mar soñé estar aquí

I remembered the sea I dreamed to be here

y no recuerdo despertar.

and I don't remember to wake up.

Empieza bien y no hay retorno a aquél furor

It starts well and there's no return to that frenzy

se rompe la canción apenas duele.

the song breaks it barely aches.

Tal vez me engañe y es el riesgo de correr

Maybe I mislead myself and it's the risk of running

no puedo competir con la real locura, oh no.

I can't compete with real madness, oh no.

Recuerdo el mar soñé estar aquí

I remembered the sea I dreamed to be here

y no recuerdo despertar.

and I don't remember to wake up.

Ya no confiaba despertar.

I didn't trust in waking up.

Tal vez engañe (engaña)...

Maybe I mislead...
