[English]

I just want my voice to drive you crazy and steal your sanity

And crying, that you cling to your fears, my love

I await the day, pretty doll, when your wound is so severe

So that bathing in memories, only alcohol kisses you

And you'll see your beautiful face, gaunt in front of the mirror

And pain will be your love, caressing your stare

I just want to see you cry

...

I have sent death to look for you

I just want to hear you scream

In hell I will find you

I just want your soul never to see the sunlight again

And may you weep blood and fear, and pay, my love

I will try to step on your pride as many times as I can

Until my hatred feels to you like air to breathe

And you'll see your beautiful face, gaunt in front of the mirror

And pain will be your love, caressing your stare

I just want to see you cry

I have sent death to look for you

I just want to hear you scream

In hell I will find you

...

With this ring I wed you until death separates us

The barrier between hate and love is so thin

You will lick your naked body with gin at a doorway

Begging for a little love, the rats will caress you

And you'll see your beautiful face, gaunt in front of the mirror

And pain will be your love, caressing your stare

I just want to see you cry

...

I have sent death to look for you

I just want to hear you scream

In hell I will find you

...

Oh! I just want to see you cry

...

[Spanish]

Tan solo quiero que mi voz te desespere y robe la razón

Y llorando que te abraces a tus miedos, corazón

Espero el día, muñequita linda, en que tu herida sea tan fuerte

Que bañándote en recuerdos solo te bese el alcohol

Y verás tu linda cara, frente al espejo demacrada

Y el dolor será tu amor, masturbando tu mirada

Tan solo quiero verte llorar

He mandado a la muerte a buscar

Tan solo quiero oírte gritar

En el infierno te he de encontrar

Tan solo quiero que tu alma no vuelva a ver la luz del sol

Y que llores sangre y miedo y que pagues, corazón

Intentaré pisar tu orgullo tantas veces como pueda

Hasta que mi odio te parezca aire para respirar

Y verás tu linda cara, frente al espejo demacrada

Y el dolor será tu amor, masturbando tu mirada

Tan solo quiero verte llorar

He mandado a la muerte a buscar

Tan solo quiero oírte gritar

En el infierno te he de encontrar

Con este anillo te desposo hasta que tu muerte nos separe

Es tan fina la barrera entre el odio y el amor

Lamerás tu cuerpo desnudo con ginebra en un portal

Mendigando un poco de amor, las ratas te acariciarán

Y verás tu linda cara, frente al espejo demacrada

Y el dolor será tu amor, masturbando tu mirada

Tan solo quiero verte llorar

He mandado a la muerte a buscar

Tan solo quiero oírte gritar

En el infierno te he de encontrar

¡Oh! Tan solo quiero verte llorar

Key Grammar Structures

• [translate:Tan solo quiero que mi voz te desespere y robe la razón]

  ➔ Subjunctive clause after 'quiero que'

  ➔ The verb 'desespere' is in the subjunctive mood because it depends on 'quiero que' (I want that...).

• [translate:Espero el día en que tu herida sea tan fuerte]

  ➔ Subordinate clause with 'en que' + subjunctive

  ➔ The verb 'sea' is subjunctive because it expresses an uncertain future event.

• [translate:Que bañándote en recuerdos solo te bese el alcohol]

  ➔ Gerund phrase 'bañándote' and subjunctive 'bese'

  ➔ 'Bañándote' means 'while bathing yourself', used to describe simultaneous action; 'bese' is subjunctive expressing desire or possibility.

• [translate:He mandado a la muerte a buscar]

  ➔ Present perfect with auxiliary 'he' + past participle

  ➔ 'He mandado' means 'I have sent'; the present perfect expresses a completed action with current relevance.

• [translate:Hasta que mi odio te parezca aire para respirar]

  ➔ Subordinate clause with 'hasta que' + subjunctive

  ➔ The verb 'parezca' is in the subjunctive since the event expressed ('until my hate seems like air') is hypothetical.

• [translate:En el infierno te he de encontrar]

  ➔ Periphrasis with 'haber de' + infinitive (obligation/intention)

  ➔ 'He de encontrar' means 'I must find' or 'I am to find', showing determination or destiny.

• [translate:Con este anillo te desposo hasta que tu muerte nos separe]

  ➔ Present indicative with 'hasta que' expressing future condition (subjunctive elided for effect)

  ➔ The phrase imitates wedding vows ('till death do us part') but breaks grammar norms intentionally.

• [translate:Lamerás tu cuerpo desnudo con ginebra en un portal]

  ➔ Simple future tense ('lamerás') expressing prediction or consequence

  ➔ 'Lamerás' means 'you will lick'; it forecasts a humiliating future situation.
