Lyrics:

[Español]

[English]

Comencé

I began

...

...

A girar como un reloj

To spin like a clock

Hoy el oro está en mi piel

Today the gold is on my skin

Desperté

I woke up

Las ideas fueron más

The ideas were more

Puedo obviarlas y esperar

I can ignore them and wait

Estoy detrás del corazón

I am behind the heart

Moviéndolo lentamente

Moving it slowly

Sigo detrás del corazón

I'm still behind the heart

Moviéndolo lentamente

Moving it slowly

...

...

Háblame

Talk to me

No logré sobrevivir

I couldn't survive

Dentro del caparazón

Inside the shell

Y después

And then

Un paseo inmoral

An immoral stroll

Noches de longevidad

Nights of longevity

Estoy detrás del corazón

I am behind the heart

Moviéndolo lentamente

Moving it slowly

Sigo detrás del corazón

I'm still behind the heart

Moviéndolo lentamente

Moving it slowly

...

...

Te creé

I created you

Como un gran inventor

Like a great inventor

...

...

Alguna vez querrás saber

Someday you'll want to know

La dirección para volver

The direction to return

Al origen que al principio fue

To the origin that was in the beginning

...

...

Un paseo inmoral

An immoral stroll

...

...
