El Lado Oscuro de Las Cosas
Tardé en comprender la verdad de las cosas:
La espina es lo bello de las rosas.
Tardé en comprender que la vida es muy corta
Y que el gusano se convierte en mariposa
Buscando algo que hacer,
Buscando algo en que creer,
Buscando el lado,
El lado oscuro de las cosas
Saber que hay perlas escondidas en ostras,
Saber que hay un rey de las sombras.
Saber que hay tesoros cubiertos de escoria
Y que hay un lugar llamado babilonia
Buscando algo que hacer,
Buscando algo en que creer,
Buscando el lado,
El lado oscuro de las cosas.
Rapté a la bailarina de los siete velos
Y bailo para mí en la torre de los siete suelos.
Si mano y llave se juntasen,
Volveríamos a vernos
Estuve cien años cavando mi fosa
Y aún no tengo el epitafio de la losa.
Podéis aplaudir al final de la obra
O disparar al pianista las pistolas.
Buscando algo que hacer,
Buscando algo en que creer,
Buscando el lado,
El lado oscuro de las cosas
Buscando algo que hacer,
Buscando algo en que creer,
Buscando el lado,
El lado oscuro de las cosas.
Buscando,
Buscando,
Buscando,
Buscando
The Dark Side of Things
It took me a while to understand the truth of things:
The thorn is the beauty of roses.
It took me a while to understand that life is very short
And that the worm turns into a butterfly
Looking for something to do,
Looking for something to believe in,
Looking for the side,
The dark side of things
Knowing that there are hidden pearls in oysters,
Knowing that there is a king of shadows.
Knowing that there are treasures covered in slag
And that there is a place called Babylon
Looking for something to do,
Looking for something to believe in,
Looking for the side,
The dark side of things.
I kidnapped the dancer of the seven veils
And she danced for me in the tower of the seven floors.
If hand and key were to come together,
We would see each other again
I spent a hundred years digging my grave
And still don't have the epitaph for the tombstone.
You can applaud at the end of the play
Or shoot the pianist with guns.
Looking for something to do,
Looking for something to believe in,
Looking for the side,
The dark side of things
Looking for something to do,
Looking for something to believe in,
Looking for the side,
The dark side of things.
Looking,
Looking,
Looking,
Looking
