Translation

Si es como dices qué haces aquí

If it's as you say, what are you doing here

Envenenando este mes de abril

Poisoning this month of April

Con ese cuerpo de alambre que

With that wire-thin body that

No es sombra ni de lo que fue

Is not even a shadow of what it was


Si lo haz dejado qué haces aquí

If you've left, what are you doing here

Cómo rosa rota en la basura

Like a broken rose in the trash

Por qué me miras así

Why do you look at me like that

A quién le quieres mentir

Whom are you trying to lie to

Tienes los ojos llenos de agonía

You have eyes full of agony


Te daré, cobijo te daré, calor

I will give you shelter, I will give you warmth

Por ti mi pajarillo herido

For you, my wounded little bird

Pintaré de rosa la melancolía

I will paint melancholy in pink

Por favor no digas que estás bien

Please don't say that you're okay


Barco a la deriva que

Ship adrift that

Se hunde un poco cada día

Sinks a little every day

Barco a la deriva que

Ship adrift that

No quiere ver el faro que le guía

Doesn't want to see the lighthouse that guides it


Si en plena lava bajo el volcán

If under the volcano's lava

Siguen brotando las más bellas flores

The most beautiful flowers keep blooming

Por qué no quieres cortar

Why don't you want to cut

Los hilos de la espiral

The threads of the spiral

Que van metiéndote vidrio en las venas

That are injecting glass into your veins


No, ya no, te voy abandonar

No, I won't abandon you

Saldrás de aquí mi cervatillo herido

You'll leave here, my wounded little deer

No podré dormir mientras estés hundida

I won't be able to sleep while you're sinking

Por favor no digas que estás bien

Please don't say that you're okay


Barco a la deriva que

Ship adrift that

Se hunde un poco cada día

Sinks a little every day

Barco a la deriva que

Ship adrift that

No quiere ver el faro que le guía

Doesn't want to see the lighthouse that guides it


Barco a la deriva que

Ship adrift that

Se hunde un poco cada día

Sinks a little every day

Barco a la deriva que

Ship adrift that

No quiere ver el faro no

Doesn't want to see the lighthouse, no


Barco a la deriva que

Ship adrift that

Se hunde un poco cada día

Sinks a little every day

Barco a la deriva que

Ship adrift that

No quiere ver el faro no no no no

Doesn't want to see the lighthouse, no, no, no, no
