[English]

You are the riddle that solves me

You are the answer that strips me bare

You are the madness that drives me crazy

The argument that excuses

You are the dark bandage of my blindness, (narananá)

You are the nonsense that disturbs me

And you are that presence that disorients me

That alibi that forgives

You are simply the pure dream of my pillow

The shot of aguardiente that warms body and soul

You are often the awakening of my joy

The white rose between my teeth, the fresh bread every day

...

You are the crossword that deciphers me

You are that sin that condemns me

You are that chimera that fascinates me

That desire that chains me, uh

You are the burning fire that consumes me, (narananá)

You are that emptiness that enriches me

And you are the food that malnourishes me

You are the wind that rocks me

You are simply the pure dream of my pillow

The shot of aguardiente that warms body and soul

You are often the awakening of my joy

The white rose between my teeth

Simply the pure dream of my pillow

The shot of aguardiente that warms body and soul

You are often the awakening of my joy

The white rose between my teeth, the fresh bread every day

And it’s you, the air that I breathe is you

The light that ignites the first sun

And it’s you, the water that I drink, it’s you

The light that ignites the first sun

You are the riddle that solves me

You are the answer that strips me bare

You are the madness that drives me crazy

The argument that excuses

...

[Spanish]

Eres el acertijo que me resuelve

Eres esa respuesta que me desnuda

Eres esa locura que me enloquece

El argumento que disculpa

Eres la venda oscura de mi ceguera, (narananá)

Eres el disparate que me trastorna

Y eres esa presencia que me descentra

Esa coartada que perdona

Eres sencillamente puro sueño de mi almohada

El trago de aguardiente que calienta cuerpo y alma

Eres frecuentemente el despertar de mi alegría

La rosa blanca entre mis dientes, el pan reciente cada día

Eres el crucigrama que me descifra

Eres ese pecado que me condena

Eres esa quimera que me fascina

Ese deseo que me encadena, uh

Eres el fuego ardiente que me consume, (narananá)

Eres ese vacío que me enriquece

Y eres el alimento que me desnutre

Eres el viento que me mece

Eres sencillamente puro sueño de mi almohada

El trago de aguardiente que calienta cuerpo y alma

Eres frecuentemente el despertar de mi alegría

La rosa blanca entre mis dientes

Sencillamente puro sueño de mi almohada

El trago de aguardiente que calienta cuerpo y alma

Eres frecuentemente el despertar de mi alegría

La rosa blanca entre mis dientes, el pan reciente cada día

Y eres tú, el aire que respiro eres tú

La luz que enciende el primer sol

Y eres tú, el agua que me bebo, eres tú

La luz que enciende el primer sol

Eres el acertijo que me resuelve

Eres esa respuesta que me desnuda

Eres esa locura que me enloquece

El argumento que disculpa
