Alex le pone alegria y sabor a la vida

It's beautiful singing, but the only part that I understood, was the title ("Yes, But No").

Translation, please?

[NatyZ]

@SinnFein4ever Roughly Translated:

El silencio me agita - The silence agitates me.

Me rompe la calma - It breaks my calm.

Una fiebre bajita- A low fever

Se convierte en ansias - Converts in anxiety.

De zafar el nudo que llevo en el alma - Loosen the knot that I carry in my soul.

Desde que la he visto enamorada - Since I saw her in love.

[NatyZ]

@SinnFein4ever

[coro]

Si, pero no -yes, but no.

Porque yo sé que su amor no me conviene - because I know that her love isn't suggested for me.

No, pero si - no, but yes.

Que puede ser mejor que lo que ya tienes.(x2) - That it can be better than what you already have.

[NatyZ]

@SinnFein4ever Si al mirarte miraras - If while looking at you, you'd look back.

Yo sería un espejo - I would be a mirror.

Y quizás te engañara el reflejar tu cuerpo - and perhaps, to trick you in reflecting your body (not sure how to translate this line)

Ay harías la prisa devorando el tiempo - oh, you would rush in devouring the time.

dentro de mis ojos lo que siento. - inside my eyes, what I feel.

[NatyZ]

@SinnFein4ever Porque yo se que su amor no me conviene -because I know that her love isn't suggested for me.

Que puede ser mejor que lo que ya tienes.-It can be better than what she already has.
