El Lado Oscuro de Las Cosas

The Dark Side of Things

El Lado Oscuro de Las Cosas

It took me a while to understand the truth of things:Tardé en comprender la verdad de las cosas:
The thorn is the beauty of roses.La espina es lo bello de las rosas.
It took me a while to understand that life is very shortTardé en comprender que la vida es muy corta
And that the worm turns into a butterflyY que el gusano se convierte en mariposa
Looking for something to do,Buscando algo que hacer,
Looking for something to believe in,Buscando algo en que creer,
Looking for the side,Buscando el lado,
The dark side of thingsEl lado oscuro de las cosas

Knowing that there are hidden pearls in oysters,Saber que hay perlas escondidas en ostras,
Knowing that there is a king of shadows.Saber que hay un rey de las sombras.
Knowing that there are treasures covered in slagSaber que hay tesoros cubiertos de escoria
And that there is a place called BabylonY que hay un lugar llamado babilonia
Looking for something to do,Buscando algo que hacer,
Looking for something to believe in,Buscando algo en que creer,
Looking for the side,Buscando el lado,
The dark side of things.El lado oscuro de las cosas.

I kidnapped the dancer of the seven veilsRapté a la bailarina de los siete velos
And she danced for me in the tower of the seven floors.Y bailo para mí en la torre de los siete suelos.
If hand and key were to come together,Si mano y llave se juntasen,
We would see each other againVolveríamos a vernos
I spent a hundred years digging my graveEstuve cien años cavando mi fosa
And still don't have the epitaph for the tombstone.Y aún no tengo el epitafio de la losa.
You can applaud at the end of the playPodéis aplaudir al final de la obra
Or shoot the pianist with guns.O disparar al pianista las pistolas.

Looking for something to do,Buscando algo que hacer,
Looking for something to believe in,Buscando algo en que creer,
Looking for the side,Buscando el lado,
The dark side of thingsEl lado oscuro de las cosas
Looking for something to do,Buscando algo que hacer,
Looking for something to believe in,Buscando algo en que creer,
Looking for the side,Buscando el lado,
The dark side of things.El lado oscuro de las cosas.
