[English]

Still, standing still, don't come close

Too many springs have already passed

For your wild dawn

Better for you to forget me

I'll stay here to air my sorrow in the sun

On the line where desolation hangs

Then I'll start sewing "I love you"s on a paper

And sweep away affection with brush hairs

And as soon as I finished

Mending the wounds from sleepless nights, I arrived

And I filled the mattress for the two of us with flowers

Thornless colors, to water when it cries and when it doesn't

We sprayed them with our sweat, oh, oh, uoh

And it confessed to me

Whenever you want, we’ll take off, the palm lines read it

The one burned by the sun ended, but it got scared

How your chest pounds, relax, it’s just my battered heart

That flares up when it hears your voice, that bastard

What the hell’s wrong with it that it no longer flies out

Maybe the moon’s dew wet its feathers

It went crazy from the sound of dew drops

When dawn begins to break

And it still hasn’t fallen asleep

And it made me fall in love (You see)

Even though it was a winged fairy and I was still nothing, it didn’t matter

We were part of the same mattress, until it swore

We love each other more than anyone so not even air can run between you and me

I felt warmth slowly fading, and I say

What the hell’s wrong with it that it no longer flies out

Maybe the moon’s dew wet its feathers

It went crazy from the sound of dew drops

When dawn begins to break

And it still hasn’t fallen asleep and made a deal with the mattress

With its foam, it padded its heart

Last night it was stone

And at dawn it was wicker

That bends before it breaks

That bends before it breaks, before it breaks

Before it breaks

Dawn came

I saw her leave smiling, dressed lightly, out the balcony door

Hair in the wind saying goodbye because she decided

She was fed up to the brim with poets of fly and fling

With balladeers from containers

What the hell’s wrong with it that it no longer flies out

Maybe the moon’s dew wet its feathers

It went crazy from the sound of dew drops

When dawn begins to break

And it still hasn’t fallen asleep and made a deal with the mattress

With its foam, it padded its heart

Last night it was stone

And at dawn it was wicker

That bends before it breaks

That bends before it breaks, before it breaks

Before it breaks

[Spanish]

Quieto, para'o, no te arrimes

Ya son demasiados abriles

Para tu amanecer desbocado

Mejor que me olvides

Yo me quedo aquí a tender mi pena al sol

En la cuerda de tender desolación

Luego empezaré a coser te quieros en un papel

Y a barrer el querer con los pelos de un pincel

Y en cuanto acabó

De zurcir las heridas, de las noches mal dormidas, llegué yo

Y le llené de flores el jergón para los dos

Sin espinas de colores, que se rieguen cuando llore y cuando no

Las sulfatamos con nuestro sudor, oh, oh, uoh

Y me confesó

Cuando quieras arrancamos, que las líneas de la mano lo leyó

Que se acabó el que la quemara el sol, pero se asustó

Como te retumba el pecho, tranqui', sólo es mi maltrecho corazón

Que se encabrita cuando oye tu voz, el muy cabrón

Qué coño le pasará que ya no sale a volar

Tal vez, le mojó las plumas el relente de la luna

Le volvió loca el sonido de las gotas de rocío

Cuando empieza a clarear

Y aún no se ha dormido

Y me enamoró (Ya ves)

Aunque era un hada alada y yo seguía siendo nada, no importó

Éramos parte del mismo colchón, hasta que juró

Nos queremos más que nadie pa' que no corra ni el aire entre tú y yo

Sentí que me iba faltando el calor, y digo yo

Qué coño le pasará que ya no sale a volar

Tal vez, le mojó las plumas el relente de la luna

Le volvió loca el sonido de las gotas de rocío

Cuando empieza a clarear

Y, aún no se ha dormido y le hizo un trato al colchón

Con su espuma se forró el corazón

Anoche era de piedra

Y al alba era de mimbre

Que se dobla antes que partirse

Que se dobla antes que partirse, que partirse

Que partirse

Amaneció

La vi irse sonriendo, con lo puesto, por la puerta del balcón

El pelo al viento diciéndome adiós porque decidió

Que ya estaba hasta las tetas de poetas de bragueta y revolcón

De trovadores de contenedor

Qué coño le pasará que ya no sale a volar

Tal vez, le mojó las plumas el relente de la luna

Le volvió loca el sonido de las gotas de rocío

Cuando empieza a clarear

Y, aún no se ha dormido y le hizo un trato al colchón

Con su espuma se forró el corazón

Anoche era de piedra

Y al alba era de mimbre

Que se dobla antes que partirse

Que se dobla antes que partirse, que partirse

Que partirse
