No te va gustar - Chau



No te va gustar - it literally translates as you are not going to be pleased, pero me gusta "no pleasing you", which better expresses the feeling in English." Also known by its initials NTVG, this Uruguayan rock band formed in 1994 when most of the band was just 16.

"Chau" a familiar way to say bye among good friends, a variation of the Italian, "ciao".

Estábamos los dos mirando el mar
cuando la tarde moría
Como moría lo nuestro,
juro que no lo sabía
Mire para mi derecha,
vi que desaparecías

Grité con todas mis fuerzas
y note que no me oías
Me quedé toda la noche en la arena
Intenté que algo valiera la pena

No puedo conseguir, cambiar ni corregir
Lo que me corre en las venas.
Corazón hoy no dejes de latir
Te alejaste un día,
ahora decidiste venir.

Ha pasado más de un año
y vos no estas
¿Por qué habría de creerte?
Hubiera dado la vida y mucho más
Por solo volver a verte

No podría darme el lujo
de ceder ante tu llanto.
No pienso abrir las heridas
De haberte querido tanto

Escuche pero deje que se fuera
Recordé todo lo libre que era
No puedo conseguir, cambiar ni corregir
Lo que me corre en las venas.

Corazón hoy no dejes de latir
Te alejaste un día,
ahora decidiste venir.


Chau
We were both looking at the sea  
when the afternoon died
As ours died

I swear I did not know
Look straight at me

I saw how you were missing
 

I screamed with all my strength 
and I saw you didn't hear me
I stayed all night in the arena
Intended something worth the pain
 

I can not get, change or correct
What flows in my veins.
Darling do not stop now
You walked away one day,  

now you decided to return.
 

It's been over a year  
and you're not
Why should I believe you?
I would have given their lives and more
Just to see you again
 

I could not afford 
to yield to your tears.
I don't think opening wounds
Of having loved you so much
 

Listen but let it out
I remembered everything that was free
I can not get, change or correct
What flows in my veins.
 

Darling do not stop now
You walked away one day,  

now you decided to return.
