[English]

If my heart still doesn't dress itself alone

It's because it hasn't found its other half

It fights in the assaults that life sends

Lives with a hundred cats in an alley

And on the horizon of my burning chest

I'm a superman looking for your booth

The one who doesn't cry, doesn't suck

A whore with office hours

And I soaked your memories

And they float because the water is salty

Salty because they spring from my eyes

Disordered tears

Don't think I'm crazy for living my way

I'm going to spend the whole day drinking and at night

Stuck to a bottle

If my heart is still a skull

It's because it hasn't learned to hide yet

Every time it sees your hips passing by

It drops the keys to the bottom of the bar

And on the horizon of my burning chest

I'm a superman looking for your booth

The one who doesn't cry, doesn't suck

A whore with office hours

And I soaked your memories

And they float because the water is salty

Salty because they spring from my eyes

Disordered tears

Don't think I'm crazy for living my way

I'm going to spend the whole day drinking and at night

Stuck to a bottle

...

And I've planted a garden of joy

To make my days more fun

And I've dreamed

That I was sleeping between your legs

And I've left

The dream upside down

And I soaked your memories

And they float because the water is salty

Salty because they spring from my eyes

Disordered tears

Don't think I'm crazy for living my way

I'm going to spend the whole day drinking and at night

Stuck to a bottle oh, without you

And the emptier it is

The higher the fence I jump to escape

Stuck to a bottle oh, without you

And the emptier it is

The higher the fence I jump to escape

...

[Spanish]

Si mi corazón aún no se viste solo

Es porque no ha encontrado a su medio limón

Lucha en los asaltos que manda la vida

Vive con cien gatos en un callejón

Y en el horizonte de mi pecho en llamas

Soy un superman que busca tu cabina

El sujeto de quien no llora, no mama

Una puta con horario de oficina

Y puse tus recuerdos a remojo

Y flotan porque el agua está salada

Salada porque brotan de mis ojos

Lágrimas desordenadas

No pienses que estoy loco por vivir a mi manera

Voy a pasarme todo el día bebiendo y por la noche

Pegado a una botella

Si mi corazón sigue de calavera

Es porque aún no ha aprendido a disimular

Cada vez que ve pasando tus caderas

Se le caen las llaves al fondo del bar

Y en el horizonte de mi pecho en llamas

Soy un superman que busca tu cabina

El sujeto de quien no llora, no mama

Una puta con horario de oficina

Y puse tus recuerdos a remojo

Y flotan porque el agua está salada

Salada porque brotan de mis ojos

Lágrimas desordenadas

No pienses que estoy loco por vivir a mi manera

Voy a pasarme todo el día bebiendo y por la noche

Pegado a una botella

Y he plantado un jardín de la alegría

Para hacer más divertidos mis días

Y he soñado

Que dormía entre tus piernas

Y he dejado

El sueño patas arriba

Y puse tus recuerdos a remojo

Y flotan porque el agua está salada

Salada porque brotan de mis ojos

Lágrimas desordenadas

No pienses que estoy loco por vivir a mi manera

Voy a pasarme todo el día bebiendo y por la noche

Pegado a una botella oh, sin ti

Y cuanto más vacía

Más alta es la verja que salto para huir

Pegado a una botella oh, sin ti

Y cuanto mas vacía

Más alta es la verja que salto para huir
