Lyrics & Translation

[Spanish]

[English]

Y yo era confidente de tu cajon

And I was confidant of your drawer

Yo era el que le susurraba aquel dragon

I was the one whispering that dragon

Hice una licencia de explorador

I took an explorer’s license

Fabrique una sala

Built a room

Busque un balcon

Searched for a balcony

Heche a volar contento al este

Sent flying happily east

Se ve tan celeste

It looks so blue

Cuanto mas lejos yo mas feliz

The farther I go, the happier I am

Baje tanto la guardia, la tentacion que

I lowered my guard so much, the temptation that

Llegue a confundir la locura con el valor

Made me confuse madness with courage

Durmiendo a la interperie

Sleeping out in the open

Sin techos ni paredes

Without roofs or walls

Solo en soledad y sin ti yo solo

All alone in solitude and without you, I am alone

Por ti volvi por ti

I came back for you, for you

Pero no te vi

But I didn't see you

Si no estas solo soy un zombie a la interperie

If you're not here, I’m just a zombie out in the elements

A ti me fui a buscarte a ti

I went to find you, to find you

Y Ahora el dragon se rie de mi

And now the dragon laughs at me

Yo no soy bueno pa explorar

I’m not good at exploring

Sin ti solo soy solo un zombie

Without you, I am just a zombie

Sin ti morir por ti

Dying for you, without you

Pero no te vi

But I didn't see you

Si no estas solo soy un zombie a la interperie

If you're not here, I’m just a zombie out in the elements

Sin ti, me fui a buscarte a ti

Without you, I went to find you, to find you

Y ahora el dragon se rie de mi

And now the dragon laughs at me

Yo no soy bueno pa explorar

I’m not good at exploring

Sin ti solo soy solo un zombie

Without you, I am just a zombie

Ya no te preocupes, ya no hay razón

Don’t worry anymore, there’s no reason

Lo que dices no me importa, solo tu voz

What you say doesn’t matter, only your voice

Los espejos quieren ser siempre más que Dios

Mirrors always want to be more than God

Mientras que buscamos juntos la salvación

While we seek salvation together

Lo se lo se, yo me he vuelto a equivocar

I know, I know, I’ve made mistakes again

Lo se lo se que no merezco otra oportunidad

I know, I know, I don’t deserve another chance

Y cuando cierras esa puerta lo que encuentras

And when you close that door, what you find

Es tu magia celestial

Is your celestial magic

Me alegra tanto verte

It makes me so happy to see you

Verte

Seeing you

Es todo lo que me hace feliz

Is everything that makes me happy

Y nadie lo remedie

And no one can fix it

Por ti volvi por ti

I came back for you, for you

Pero no te vi

But I didn't see you

Si no estas solo soy un zombie a la interperie

If you're not here, I’m just a zombie out in the elements

Si ti, me fui a buscarte a ti

If you, I went to find you, to find you

Y ahora el dragon se rie de mi

And now the dragon laughs at me

Yo no soy bueno pa explorar

I’m not good at exploring

Sin ti solo soy solo un zombie

Without you, I am just a zombie

Volvi, y al vorlver perdi

I returned, and in returning, I lost myself

Pero no por ti

But not because of you

No eres tu, es que soy un zombie al que depeine

It’s not you, I’m just a zombie I’ve combed through

Sin ti me fui a buscarte a ti

Without you, I went to find you, to find you

Y ahora el dragon se rie de mi

And now the dragon laughs at me

Yo no soy bueno pa explorar

I’m not good at exploring

Sin ti soy solo un zombie

Without you, I am just a zombie

Solo soy un zombie

Just a zombie

Solo soy un zombie

Just a zombie

Solo soy un zombie

Just a zombie
