Llevo el frío de la aurora en mi no me deja descansar Translation: I have the cold of dawn on me. It doesn't let me rest.

Gira la tierra en tu mano Blancos pájaros están mirando Cubre la flor de palabras Ven y siéntate al lado del alba Cose el cielo en tu plato Déjalo No lo busques tanto, déjalo No lo apures tanto, déjalo No lo vistas tanto, déjalo Esta ahí, ¿lo puedes ver? ¿Lo puedes ver?, ya va a partir No lo podrás nunca atrapar Esta ahí, ¿lo puedes ver? Maneja la tierra que gira Blancos pájaros vuelan y miran Sirve el cielo cosido Mézclalo con hierro fundido Translation: Turn the earth in your hand White birds are watching Cover the flower with words Come and sit beside the dawn Sew the sky on your plate. Leave it Don't look for it so much, leave it Don't rush it so much, leave it Don't dress it so much, leave it. Don't move it away so much, leave it There it is, can you see? Can you see? It's going to depart You'll never going to catch it There it is, can you see? Handle the earth that turns White birds are flying and watching Serve the sewed sky Mix it with cast iron

Duerme la ciudad No es necesario esperar Signo, señal Pronto verás Lo que te trato de insinuar No hay nada que decir La noche habla por fin Sin dudar Se entenderá Lo que tu tratas de disimular Duerme la ciudad No hay que esperar Duerme la ciudad Nada que explicar Duerme la ciudad Translation: City Sleeps No need to wait Sign, sign Soon you will see What I try to insinuate Nothing to say The night finally speaks No doubt The term What you try to hide City Sleeps Do not expect City Sleeps Nothing to explain City Sleeps

Las hojas crujen desde ayer Un funeral en mi interior Los pájaros quieren volver Pero no encuentran el calor Voy buscando lo que no hay Cosas que quedaron atrás Voy buscando donde no hay Más que grises recuerdos Las hojas crujen desde ayer Un funeral en el calor Los pájaros quieren volver Pero no encuentran mi interior Voy buscando lo que no hay Cosas que quedaron atrás Voy buscando donde no hay Más que grises recuerdos Recuerdos (x4) Voy buscando lo que no hay Cosas que quedaron atrás Voy buscando donde no hay Más que grises recuerdos Recuerdos (x3) Translation: The leaves crunch since yesterday A funeral inside me Birds want to return But there is heat I'm looking for so no Things left behind I'm looking for where there is no More than gray memories The leaves crunch since yesterday A funeral in the heat Birds want to return But find my inner I'm looking for so no Things left behind I'm looking for where there is no More than gray memories Memories (x4) I'm looking for so no Things left behind I'm looking for where there is no More than gray memories Memories (x3)

Manchan las alfombras Llueve ahí afuera Suenan las sirenas muy lejos Lo mantengo afuera (x3) Afuera Ladran las persianas Llueve ahí afuera Ríen las botellas muy cerca Lo mantengo afuera (x3) Afuera Lo puedes dejar pasar Translation: Staining the carpets It's raining out there Ringing the sirens far away I keep it outside (x3) Outside Barking the blinds It's raining out there Laughing the bottles so close I keep it outside (x3) Outside You can let it in
6.
La mitad En mitad de Este sueño Te he llegado a conocer Te he llegado a entender En mitad de Tu silencio Te he llegado a comprender La mitad (x4) Mitad de la mitad El medio, el centro La anatomía del conocimiento Translation: In the middle Of this dream I reach to know you I reach to understand you In the middle Of your silence I reach to get you The half (x4) Half of the middle, The middle, the center, The anatomy of the knowledge
