[English]

You probably have heard about me

And today we meet here

But peace

You will never find it in me

Unless it’s in you

You will never find it in me

You’re not in my living room or anywhere else

But there’s another who is

And I am not

I only speak to you from here

He must be

The music you never made

You saw the skin

You believed everything I asked of you

Nothing came from you

Ah! Look at the fire

The lights jumping in the distance

They don’t expect you to go put them out

Never

...

[Spanish]

Sé muy bien que has oído hablar de mí

Y hoy nos vemos aquí

Pero la paz

En mí nunca la encontrarás

Si no es en vos

En mí nunca la encontrarás

Por tu living o fuera de allí no estás

Pero hay otro que está

Y yo no soy

Yo solo te hablo desde aquí

Él debe ser

La música que nunca hiciste

Viste la piel

Creíste en todo lo que te pedí

Nada salió de vos

¡Ah! Mira el fuego

Las luces que saltan a lo lejos

No esperan que vayas a apagarlas

Jamás
