Lyrics
Español
¿De sal?... ¿de miel?... ¿de qué? mi boca se impregnó, tentada por tus besos. ¿De sal?... ¿de miel?... ¡no sé!, lo nuestro se quebró, ¡fetiche, al fin, de yeso! Duele pensar que Dios nos llamará, que el tiempo se nos va... ¡cortón, igual que un rezo! ¡Amar... sufrir... rodar; no hallar el buen amor y hastiarse de esperar! La calle me dio tu vida, ¡pasabas sola y herida!... ¡No sé por qué te amé... no sé por qué!; acaso, porque en alguien busqué encontrarme... ¡En alguien... que me quisiera! ¡En alguien... que me creyera! ¡Hubo una esquina, tú pasabas con tu mal; te quise y fue mi amor... fatal! Ya ves, recién... tú y yo rasgamos ese tul tan triste como vano. Ya ves, recién voló la mariposa azul del sueño más cercano. Fue torpe y cruel la juventud tirar, y en el ocaso ya, buscar dos blancas manos. ¡Vivir... soñar... sentir el barro a nuestros pies, y en él los pies hundir!

Of salt... of honey... of what? my mouth was impregnated, tempted by your kisses. Salt? Honey? I don't know! our thing broke, a plaster cast at last! It hurts to think that God will call us, that time is running out... Short, just like a prayer! To love... to suffer... to roll away; not finding good love and get tired of waiting! The street gave me your life, you were alone and wounded!... I don't know why I loved you, I don't know why! perhaps because I sought to find myself in someone... In someone... who loved me! In someone... who believed me! There was a corner, you were passing by with your evil; I loved you and it was my love... fatal! You see, just now... you and I tore that tulle as sad as vain. You see, just now flew the blue butterfly of the nearest dream. It was clumsy and cruel youth to throw away, and in the sunset already, to look for two white hands. To live... to dream... to feel... to feel the mud at our feet, and in it sink our feet!
