Cold Heart

My heart is already cold

You broke it, now I don't believe in love

My guitar now sounds

Singing is my only form of expression

My feelings and the memories

Trapped in my mind because it was serious

My heart hurts, I can't stand the pain

I can't with you, I know it's all over*

Now you're nothing, with you I wanted to be

I don't know what things happen, feelings change

And pure Manzanita*

My health you hurt

Me unveiling myself just to help you

All my time that you spent

That's a spent public holiday* as Llamadas says

Every night when you expressed

That you missed me, they were your false words

My heart hurts, I can't stand the pain

I can't with you, I know it's all over

Now you're nothing, with you I wanted to be

I don't know what things happen, feelings change

I should point out that I'm a Spanish student from the UK and although I can speak it to a good level, I'm definitely not a native so I'm sure others can provide more context to these lyrics than me.

* I'm assuming the 'se' in the lyrics should be 'sé' meaning 'I know', instead of the reflexive pronoun, as I can't see how 'se' would translate in this context

*I've searched all over the internet and I can't seem to find an explanation for Manzanita, it literally translates as 'little apple' and can used for the Adam's Apple in English but I don't see how either of these fit in the lyrics. Given it seems like a breakup song - although I haven't heard the whole thing - a 'little apple' could be something more inappropriate or a pet name for a lover. I'd be more inclined to say the second as it starts with a capital letter.

* 'Feria' would be translated differently in the USA and UK, being British, I would describe it as a 'bank holiday' which I believe is called a 'public holiday' in the USA. Either way, it's a national day where most people have the day off due to an event.

The phrase 'feria gastada' seems to come from a song called 'Llamadas perdidas' - 'missed calls' by Ivan Cornejo so it seems he's referencing another one of his songs in this line, implying a waste of time.

Thanks for your comment! I'd never heard the song before so that explains it!

Instead of "It´s all over" really the translation for "yo sé que todo se acaba" means "I know everything ends" or "comes to an end"

"mi salud me la dañaste" it isn´t 100% wrong to translate the way you did, but instead of hurt I would say "you ruined my health"

"desvelándome" from desvelarse meaning "to stay up all night" so I would offer "and me, I was up all night, just to help you" or "I was staying up all night"

gastar tiempo- can be as you wrote it (although admittedly spent time would be "pasar tiempo" not "gastar"
but I´d consider this translation "all my time that you WASTED"

Esa es feria gastada- see the above.

Ferias in Portuguese means vacations. You´re right that in some places in Spanish speaking countries ferias is used for vacations too, mostly in Spain, I think. Most everywhere else uses vacaciones. In Spanish, it´s more commonly a fair, festival, or market. I´d say this is more of an expression than something translated literally, though where is this artist from? I haven´t heard that expression before.
