[English]

Why does the Calvary matter?

if loving you is suffering,

or if you play with marked cards.

What matters are the nights

spent on you,

even if you break my soul in return.

...

Who cares about life!

What’s the point of living

if I don’t have your warm body?

What matters is touching you

and quenching this thirst,

that only your fountain can quench me.

...

Without you, nothing has value,

and that’s why I’m yours,

slave and master.

...

Things about love,

things of life:

You are my royal eagle,

I am your wounded gazelle.

...

Things of your flesh,

things of your skin,

that drags me across the waves

like a paper boat.

...

Things about love,

things of life:

you make me feel pain

and you heal my wounds.

...

Things of your body,

things of my voice

preaching in the desert

of your absurd heart.

...

Why do I need air

if I breathe from you?

Why do I need light

or windows?

If it’s enough for me to feel you tied to my skin,

and to know that, in your own way, you love me.

...

What does it matter to wait for you

once and a thousand times more

if in the end you overwhelm me with time.

What matters is watching you

in silence and knowing

that perhaps without having you,

I have you.

...

That without you nothing has value,

and that’s why I’m yours

slave and master.

...

Things about love,

things of life:

You are my royal eagle,

I am your wounded gazelle.

...

Things of your flesh,

things of your skin,

that drags me across the waves

like a paper boat

...

Things about love,

things of life:

you make me feel pain

and you heal the wounds.

...

Things of your body,

things of my voice

preaching in the desert

of your absurd heart.

...

Things about love,

things of life:

You are my royal eagle

I am your wounded gazelle

[Spanish]

Que me importa el Calvario

si amarte es sufrir,

o que juegues con cartas marcadas.

Lo que importa es las noches

pasadas en ti,

aunque a cambio me rompas el alma.

Que me importa la vida!

De que sirve vivir

si me falta tu cuerpo caliente?

Lo que importa es tocarte

y apagar esta sed,

que tan solo me apaga tu fuente.

Que sin ti nada tiene valor,

y por eso soy tuyo,

esclavo y senor.

Cosas del amor,

cosas de la vida:

Tu eres mi aguila real,

yo soy tu gacela herida.

Cosas de tu carne,

cosas de tu piel,

que me arrastra por las olas

como barco de papel.

Cosas del amor,

cosas de la vida:

tu me haces el dolor

y me curas las heridas.

Cosas de tu cuerpo,

cosas de mi voz

predicando en el desierto

de tu absurdo corazon.

Para que quiero aire

si respiro de ti?

Para que quiero luz

ni ventanas?

Si me basta sentirte amarrada a mi piel,

y saber que a tu modo me amas.

Que me importa esperarte

una y mil veces mas

si al final tu me inundas el tiempo.

Lo que importa es mirarte

en silencio y saber

que tal vez sin tenerte

te tengo.

Que sin ti nada tiene valor,

y por eso soy tuyo

esclavo y senor.

Cosas del amor,

cosas de la vida:

Tu eres mi aguila real,

yo soy tu gacela herida.

Cosas de tu carne,

cosas de tu piel,

que me arrastra por las olas

como barco de papel

Cosas del amor,

cosas de la vida:

tu me haces el dolor

y me curas las heridas.

Cosas de tu cuerpo,

cosas de mi voz

predicando en el desierto

de tu absurdo corazon.

Cosas del amor,

cosas de la vida:

Tu eres mi aguila real

yo soy tu gacela herida
