Lyrics
Español
Después ... La luna en sangre y tu emoción, y el anticipo del final en un oscuro nubarrón. Luego ... irremediablemente, tus ojos tan ausentes llorando sin dolor. Y después... La noche enorme en el cristal, y tu fatiga de vivir y mi deseo de luchar. Luego ... tu piel como de nieve, y en una ausencia leve tu pálido final. Todo retorna del recuerdo: tu pena y tu silencio, tu angustia y tu misterio. Todo se abisma en el pasado: tu nombre repetido ... tu duda y tu cansancio. Sombra más fuerte que la muerte, grito perdido en el olvido, paso que vuelve del fracaso canción hecha pedazos que aún es canción. Después ... vendrá el olvido o no vendrá y mentiré para reír y mentiré para llorar. Torpe fantasma del pasado bailando en el tinglado tal vez para olvidar. Y después, en el silencio de tu voz, se hará un dolor de soledad y gritaré para vivir... como si huyera del recuerdo en arrepentimiento para poder morir.

Then ... The moon in blood and your emotion, and the foretaste of the end in a dark cloud. Then ... irremediably, your eyes so absent crying without pain. And then... The huge night in the glass, and your fatigue of living and my desire to fight. And then... your skin like snow, and in a slight absence your pale end. Everything returns from memory: your sorrow and your silence, your anguish and your mystery. Everything is abyssed in the past: your repeated name ... your doubt and your weariness. Shadow stronger than death, cry lost in oblivion, step returning from failure song in pieces that is still song. Then ... oblivion will come or it won't come and I'll lie to laugh and I will lie to cry. Clumsy ghost of the past dancing in the racket maybe to forget. And then, in the silence of your voice, it will become a pain of loneliness and I will cry out to live... as if fleeing from memory in repentance in order to die.
