[English]

There's no escape.

I am the Moonlight's Puppet.

When the sun goes down.

I can't run away.

'Cause I'm the Moonlight's Puppet.

And then I go down.

There's no escape.

In the jungle, the tomb will be my roof.

The gloves, Urban Moreno, the moon.

My eyes are set on fortune.

My Cuban chain is gone, I've bought another.

I go out, looking for diamonds in the trash.

Fire, I stay by the door with those who smoke.

Under the stars, like in a cradle.

With this, they say wounds heal.

I'm losing my mind.

Once again.

But I like it.

I'm crossing the line.

I don't mind.

Here I go.

There's no escape.

I am the Moonlight's Puppet.

When the sun goes down.

I can't run away.

'Cause I'm the Moonlight's Puppet.

And then I go down.

There's no escape.

(Moonlight's Puppet)

Yeah, and then I go down.

(Moonlight's Puppet)

I am your puppet, Moon.

And a weather vane, your violet light.

The violent sirens return.

If so, tell me about it tomorrow.

It was beautiful, don't regret it.

The minutes pass in slow motion.

It's already 24 hours, Diego, and you don't even sit.

I go out with my bulls to sing at Las Ventas.

Moon's puppet, baby, always awake.

I cannot, I cannot.

I cannot run away.

I cannot, I cannot.

I cannot run away.

I cannot, I cannot.

I cannot run away.

I cannot, I cannot.

I cannot run away.

I am the Moonlight's Puppet.

When the sun goes down.

I am the Moonlight's Puppet.

When the sun goes down.

Hey, hey, hey.

When the sun goes down.

Hey, hey, hey.

When the sun goes down.

[Spanish]

There's no escape.

I am the Moonlight's Puppet.

When the sun goes down.

I can't run away.

'Cause I'm the Moonlight's Puppet.

And then I go down.

There's no escape.

En la jungla, el techo me lo va a poner la tumba.

Los guantes, el Urban Moreno, la luna.

Llevo los ojos a fortuna.

Se ha marchado mi cubana, me he comprado una.

Salgo, busco diamantes en las basuras.

Fuego, me quedo en la puerta con los que fuman.

Bajo las estrellas, como en la cuna.

Con esto, dicen que las heridas se curan.

I'm losing my mind.

Once again.

But I like it.

I'm crossing the line.

I don't mind.

Here I go.

There's no escape.

I am the Moonlight's Puppet.

When the sun goes down.

I can't run away.

'Cause I'm the Moonlight's Puppet.

And then I go down.

There's no escape.

(Moonlight's Puppet)

Yeah, and then I go down.

(Moonlight's Puppet)

Soy tu marioneta, Luna.

Y una veleta, tu luz violeta.

Vuelven las sirenas violentas.

Si eso mañana me la cuentas.

Ha sido bonito, no te arrepientas.

Pasan los minutos como a cámara lenta.

Ya van 24 horas, Diego, y tú ni te sientas.

Salgo con mis toros a cantar en las Ventas.

Marioneta de la Luna, nena, siempre despierta.

I cannot, I cannot.

I cannot run away.

I cannot, I cannot.

I cannot run away.

I cannot, I cannot.

I cannot run away.

I cannot, I cannot.

I cannot run away.

Soy la marioneta de la Luna.

Cuando cae el sol.

Soy la marioneta de la Luna.

Cuando cae el sol.

Eh, eh, eh.

Cuando cae el sol.

Eh, eh, eh.

Cuando cae el sol.
