El Centro de Mis Ojos

The Center of My Eyes

El Centro de Mis Ojos

One morning of wild delirium I woke upUna mañana de delirio salvaje desperté
With the fever of the migratory birdCon la fiebre del ave migratoria
I felt my forehead burningNoté mi frente arder
I left my house, I left a kind lifeDejé mi casa, dejé una vida amable
I've seen things that I haven't told anyoneHe visto cosas que no he contado a nadie

I've seen the greatest love, the one a mother gives youHe visto el amor más grande, el que te dá una madre
And I saw the strongest pain, the face of deathY vi el dolor más fuerte, la cara de la muerte

The center of my eyesEl centro de mis ojos
Is the center of an earthquakeEs el centro de un terremoto
We'll do it little by littleLo haremos poco a poco
Even though the world has gone crazyAúnque el mundo se ha vuelto loco
And you can see it in my eyesY podrás verlo en mis ojos

I jumped from the highest rock into the seaHe saltado de la roca más alta hacia el mar
And naked I entered the waterY desnuda entré en el água
I baptized myself againMe he vuelto a bautizar
The good things that I've been rememberingLas cosas buenas que he ido recordando
My songs, I give them to youMis canciones, yo te las regalo

The center of my eyesEl centro de mis ojos
Is the center of an earthquakeEs el centro de un terremoto
We'll do it little by littleLo haremos poco a poco
Even though the world has gone crazyAúnque el mundo se ha vuelto loco
You can see it in my eyesTú podrás verlo en mis ojos

I was born in a burnt landYo nací en una tierra quemada
I was a girl with a sad gazeFui una niña de triste mirada
Don't be afraid, I know it seems strangeNo tengas miedo, sé que resulta extraño
We are seeing with closed eyesEstamos viendo con los ojos cerrados

The center of my eyesEl centro de mis ojos
Is the center of an earthquakeEs el centro de un terremoto
We'll do it little by littleLo haremos poco a poco
Even though the world has gone crazyAúnque el mundo se ha vuelto loco
You can see it in my eyesTú podrás verlo en mis ojos
