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
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
