Sea Views

Vistas Al Mar

She turned the sky aroundElla le dio la vuelta al cielo
He had just arrivedÉl acababa de llegar
A ceasefire was necessaryFue necesario un alto al fuego
To have sea viewsPara tener vistas al mar
And they covered theirselvesY se pusieron a cubierto
Like the safety of a homeComo un seguro del hogar

But who wants to play dead¿Pero quién quiere hacerse el muerto
When the reverse side of the mirror is a shore in the midwinter?Cuando el reverso del espejo es una playa en pleno invierno?
A goodbye without warning?¿Un adiós sin avistar?

He saw her pass by, he tempted fateLa vio pasar, tentó a la suerte
He wanted to burn, he shouted her name unintentionallyQuiso arder, gritó su nombre sin querer
And that was the last timeY fue la última vez
Who knows if the one who leaves is the winner¿Quién sabe si quien gana es quien se va
And the one who doesn't lose is the one who wanted to stay?Y quien no pierde es quien sí se quiso quedar?
They'll never know nowYa nunca lo sabrán

And the side affectionsY los afectos secundarios
A paper cliffUn precipicio de papel
A waltz with the rivalUn baile con el adversario
How to be part of it without being a judge?¿Cómo ser parte y no ser juez?
A double take careUn cuídate por duplicado
Or La Cibeles without MadridO La Cibeles sin Madrid

Head-on collision, cardiac arrestChoque frontal, paro cardíaco
When the obverse of the mirror is silence in the midst of a fireCuando el anverso del espejo es un silencio en pleno incendio
Any month but AprilCualquier mes menos abril

He saw her pass by, he tempted fateLa vio pasar, tentó a la suerte
He wanted to burn, he shouted her name unintentionallyQuiso arder, gritó su nombre sin querer
And that was the last timeY fue la última vez
Who knows if the one who leaves is the winner¿Quién sabe si quien gana es quien se va
And the one who doesn't lose is the one who wanted to stay?Y quien no pierde es quien sí se quiso quedar?
They'll never know nowYa nunca lo sabrán

He saw her pass by, he tempted fateLa vio pasar, tentó a la suerte
He wanted to burn, he shouted her name unintentionallyQuiso arder, gritó su nombre sin querer
And that was the last timeY fue la última vez
Who knows if the one who leaves is the winner¿Quién sabe si quien gana es quien se va
And the one who doesn't lose is the one who wanted to stay?Y quien no pierde es quien sí se quiso quedar?
They'll never know nowYa nunca lo sabrán
