Letra:

[Español]

[English]

Desperté entre una multitud

I woke up in a crowd

Abrí los ojos y supe que algo iba mal

I opened my eyes and knew something was wrong

Me temblaron las rodillas

My knees trembled

Como en una pesadilla

Like in a nightmare

De esas que te cuesta tanto avanzar

The kind that makes it so hard to move forward

Estaba en una patio sin luz

I was in a lightless patio

No comprendía, estaba fuera de lugar

I didn't understand, I was out of place

Cuatro muros me cerraban

Four walls were closing me in

Cinco polis se acercaban

Five cops were approaching

Si era un sueño yo quería despertar

If it was a dream, I wanted to wake up

¿Y yo qué sé?

And what do I know?

¿Qué hago aquí?

What am I doing here?

No puede ser

It can't be

¿Yo qué hice ayer?

What did I do yesterday?

Que estoy esposado

That I'm handcuffed

Seguro que todo tiene una explicación

Surely everything has an explanation

Me llevaron a una habitación

They took me to a room

Me hicieron preguntas sin solución

They asked me questions without solution

Renegando a gritos yo me quedé

Denying with screams, I stayed

Y acabé pidiendo

And ended up asking for

La absolución

Absolution

No lo recuerdo

I don't remember it

Señor agente, estoy trastornado

Officer, I'm confused

Siempre he llevado un camino recto

I've always led a straight path

Seguro que alguien me ha hipnotizado

Surely someone has hypnotized me

Robado o algo de eso

Robbed me or something like that

No entiendo

I don't understand

Cómo he podido haberme olvidado

How I could have forgotten

Tengo una laguna en mis recuerdos

I have a gap in my memories

Seguro que alguien me ha hipnotizado

Surely someone has hypnotized me

Pero mi mayor sorpresa fue

But my biggest surprise was

Cuando quise acordarme de lo que hice ayer

When I wanted to remember what I did yesterday

Y me resultó imposible

And it was impossible

Aunque parezca increíble

Even if it seems unbelievable

Estaba dentro de la cárcel de un cuartel

I was inside a police station jail

De repente me desperté

Suddenly I woke up

La pesadilla parecía llegar al fin

The nightmare seemed to come to an end

Con los ojos asustados

With frightened eyes

Miré arriba y a los lados

I looked up and to the sides

Y me di cuenta de que

And I realized that

¿Yo qué sé?

What do I know?

¿Qué hago aquí?

What am I doing here?

No puede ser

It can't be

¿Yo qué hice ayer?

What did I do yesterday?

Que estoy esposado

That I'm handcuffed

Seguro que todo tiene una explicación

Surely everything has an explanation

Me habían llevado a una habitación

They had taken me to a room

Me habían encerrado sin compasión

They had locked me up without compassion

Dentro de esta cárcel aparecí

Inside this jail I appeared

Desde aquí te canto yo esta canción

From here I sing you this song

No lo recuerdo

I don't remember it

Señor agente, estoy trastornado

Officer, I'm confused

Siempre he llevado un camino recto

I've always led a straight path

Seguro que alguien me ha hipnotizado

Surely someone has hypnotized me

Robado o algo de eso

Robbed me or something like that

No entiendo

I don't understand

Cómo he podido haberme olvidado

How I could have forgotten

Tengo una laguna en mis recuerdos

I have a gap in my memories

Seguro que alguien me ha hipnotizado

Surely someone has hypnotized me
