Lyrics & Translation
It flies through the cemetery of my will
I keep searching for the girl who cries at your parties
Sigo buscando la niña que llora en tus fiestas
Bells ring in bloom for my funeral
Look at me
With the North Star at my feet
I return home lost, once again
Because I can't stop adoring you
Look at me
An empty swing flies brushing the sand
Leaving the traces of the fallen angel as it passes
Traces that always lead me to you, take away my sorrows
Like the dose of fleeting life you made me taste
Look at me
With the North Star at my feet
I return home lost, once again
Because I can't stop adoring you
I think of you
Every time I drift away from myself
Every time I prefer to die
Since the day you told me "Your little face is a rose yet to bloom"
Look at me
With the North Star at my feet
I return home lost, once again
Because I can't stop adoring you
I think of myself
Every time you look at me like that
My lips are sewn to you
And the moon paints my eyes
Look at me
Every time you leave, I think of you
Every time I prefer to die
Every time you kiss me like that
Every time you leave, look at me

Key Grammar Structures
-
Vuela un columpio vacío sobre mi cabeza
➔ Word order variation (subject after verb)
➔ Normally it would be 'Un columpio vacío vuela sobre mi cabeza.' The inversion emphasizes 'Vuela' creating a more poetic effect.
-
Sigo buscando la niña que llora en tus fiestas
➔ Gerundio usage: “Sigo + gerundio” to express continuous action.
➔ 'Sigo buscando' means 'I keep looking'. 'Sigo' + gerund implies the action is ongoing.
-
Suenan campanas en flor por mi funeral
➔ Preposition 'por' indicating reason/cause
➔ The bells are ringing *because of* or *for* the funeral. 'Por' connects the sound to the reason for it.
-
Mírame Con la estrella polar a mis pies
➔ Imperative mood ('Mírame')
➔ 'Mírame' is a direct command, 'Look at me.' It is used to express an order or request.
-
Vuelvo a casa perdida, otra vez
➔ Adjective as complement of the verb (estar/volver)
➔ 'Perdida' describes the subject 'yo' (implied). It explains the state or condition of the subject upon returning home. Because 'volver' has been used here, it reflects the speaker's state not being in the right state to return home.
-
Porque no sé dejar de adorarte
➔ Verb + 'de' + infinitive (dejar de)
➔ 'Dejar de' + infinitive means 'to stop doing something'. 'No sé dejar de adorarte' means 'I can't stop adoring you'.
-
Cada vez que me alejo de mí
➔ Reflexive pronoun to indicate a personal action (alejarse de sí mismo)
➔ 'Alejar' requires the reflexive pronoun 'me' because the action is done to oneself. It means 'Every time I distance myself from myself'.
-
Desde el día en que tú me dijiste "Tu carita es una rosa sin abrir"
➔ Use of 'desde' + time expression + 'en que' to indicate a point in time.
➔ 'Desde el día en que...' specifies a particular day as the starting point for something. In English, this translates to 'Since the day that...'
-
Se me cosen los labios a ti
➔ Passive reflexive construction to express an involuntary action
➔ The literal translation is 'My lips are sewn to you.' The 'se' indicates it's happening to the subject unwillingly. The subject 'los labios' aren't sewing themselves. Thus indicating a lack of control/passive nature
