[English]

I've already seen the light and prayed to the moon, hoping it helps me.

And I've prayed to love, hoping it gives me courage, hoping it helps me.

I swear to tell the truth

and nothing but the truth.

I've had good times, I've had bad times.

I've felt good, and I've felt bad.

But I would do it all the same.

I would do it all exactly the same.

And I would win again and lose again.

I would fly again and fall again.

I want to tell you that I burned all the bridges every time,

just to really face the music or escape.

The sphere, always unavoidable.

I want to tell you that I spent all my time describing

a paradise on paper where everything must die.

And nothing is unintelligible.

Nothing stops me or touches me.

There's no ground beneath my boots.

And it keeps letting me fall, letting me go.

Leaving my skin behind; there's no turning back.

Having reached the deepest point, I find no explanation.

We're not from this world, you and I.

Neither you, nor I.

Love, there's nothing left for us here, nothing.

Neither you, nor I.

The world doesn't interest us at all, at all.

I've already seen the light and prayed to the moon, hoping it helps me.

And I've prayed to love, hoping it gives me courage, hoping it helps me.

And this whole world is rotten, unbalanced.

We haven't been through here yet.

So much crap locked away, forbidden, or freed from the cold.

We haven't been through here yet.

Maybe I won't be understood well today.

And maybe I won't be understood tomorrow.

And I want the blame to fall on me.

For always speaking on a slant.

Nothing stops me or touches me.

There's no ground beneath my boots.

And it keeps letting me fall, letting me go.

Leaving my skin behind; there's no turning back.

Having reached the deepest point, I find no explanation.

We're not from this world, you and I.

Neither you, nor I.

Love, there's nothing left for us here, nothing.

Neither you, nor I.

The world doesn't interest us at all, at all.

Neither you, nor I.

Love, there's nothing left for us here, nothing.

Neither you, nor I.

The world doesn't interest us at all, at all.

[Spanish]

Yo ya he visto la luz y le he rezao' a la luna por si me ayuda.

Y le he rezao' al amor por si me daba valor, por si me ayuda.

Juro decir la verdad

y solamente la verdad.

Lo he pasado bien, lo he pasado mal.

Me he sentido bien y me he sentido mal.

Pero volvería a hacerlo igual.

Volvería a hacerlo todo igual.

Y volvería a ganar y volvería a perder.

Volvería a volar y volvería a caer.

Quiero decirte que quemé todas las naves cada vez,

solo para que de verdad plantara cara o escapar.

La esfera siempre ineludible.

Quiero decirte que empeñé todo mi tiempo en describir

un paraíso en un papel donde todo ha de morir.

Y nada sea ininteligible.

Nada me detiene ni me toca.

No hay suelo debajo de mis botas.

Y va dejándome caer, dejándome llevar.

Dejándome la piel que ya no hay vuelta atrás.

Llegado a lo más profundo, no encuentro explicación.

No somos de este mundo, nosotros dos.

Ni tú, ni yo.

Amor, aquí ya no nos queda nada, nada.

Ni tú, ni yo.

El mundo no nos interesa nada, nada.

Yo ya he visto la luz y le he rezao' a la luna por si me ayuda.

Y le he rezao' al amor por si me daba valor por si me ayuda.

Y este mundo está podrido entero, desequilibrado.

Por aquí no hemos pasado aún.

Cuánta mierda hay encerrado, vetada o liberado del frío.

Por aquí no hemos pasado aún.

Puede que hoy no se me entienda bien.

Y puede que mañana no se entienda.

Y quiera que la culpa caiga sobre mí.

Por hablar siempre en pendiente.

Nada me detiene ni me toca.

No hay suelo debajo de mis botas.

Y va dejándome caer, dejándome llevar.

Dejándome la piel que ya no hay vuelta atrás.

Llegado a lo más profundo, no encuentro explicación.

No somos de este mundo, nosotros dos.

Ni tú, ni yo.

Amor, aquí ya no nos queda nada, nada.

Ni tú, ni yo.

El mundo no nos interesa nada, nada.

Ni tú, ni yo.

Amor, aquí ya no nos queda nada, nada.

Ni tú, ni yo.

El mundo no nos interesa nada, nada.
