Checkmate / Jaque Mate - Gotan Project

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)
