Love

El Amor

Love bears the signature of the authorEl amor tiene firma de autor
In lost causesEn las causas pérdidas
Love always begins dreamingEl amor siempre empieza soñando
And ends in insomniaY termina en insomnio
It's a deep act of faithEs un acto profundo de fe
That smells like a lieQue huele a mentira
Love dances to the tune playedEl amor baila al son que le toquen
Be it God or the devilSea Dios o el demonio
Be it God or the devilSea Dios o el demonio

Love is the lost warEl amor es la guerra pérdida
Between sex and laughterEntre el sexo y la risa
It's the key with which you openEs la llave con que abres
The tap of tears in the eyesEl grifo del agua en los ojos
It's the slowest time in the worldEs el tiempo más lento del mundo
When it's in a hurryCuando va de prisa
Love makes its way slowlyEl amor se abre paso despacio
No matter the boltNo importa el cerrojo

Love is the arroganceEl amor es la arrogancia
Of clinging to the impossibleDe aferrarse a lo imposible
It's searching elsewhereEs buscar en otra parte
For what you can't find in yourselfLo que no encuentras en ti

Love is an ungrateful oneEl amor es un ingrato
Who lifts you up for a whileQue te eleva por un rato
And drops you down just becauseY te desploma porque sí
Love is two in oneEl amor es dos en uno
Who in the end are noneQue al final no son ninguno
And get used to lyingY se acostumbran a mentir
Love is the beautyEl amor es la belleza
That feeds on sadnessQue se nutre de tristeza
And in the end always leavesY al final siempre se va

Love is almost always betterEl amor casi siempre es mejor
When it's elsewhereCuando está en otra parte
It looks good in novelsLuce bien en novelas
That sell perfect endingsQue venden finales perfectos
Don't go, love, even though you hurtNo te vayas, amor, que aunque duelas
I don't want to leave youNo quiero dejarte
If you're always a mistakeSi eres siempre un error
Because your flaws are never seenPorque nunca se ven tus defectos

It may be that what I judgePuede ser que lo que juzgo
Is something else, I don't knowSea otra cosa, no lo sé
That my luck has beenQue a mi suerte le ha tocado
The impostor, I don't know eitherEl impostor, tampoco sé

Love is an ungrateful oneEl amor es un ingrato
Who lifts you up for a whileQue te eleva por un rato
And drops you down just becauseY te desploma porque sí
Love is two in oneEl amor es dos en uno
Who in the end are noneQue al final no son ninguno
And get used to lyingY se acostumbran a mentir
Love is the beautyEl amor es la belleza
That feeds on sadnessQue se nutre de tristeza
And in the end always leavesY al final siempre se va

And it doesn't let you say what you want to sayY no te deja decir lo que quieres decir
Without making you know that it spits back upSin hacerte saber que se escupe hacia arriba
It's sitting to watch, passing in front of youEs sentarte a mirar, pasar frente a ti
The mortal parade of the corpse of all your dreamsEl desfile mortal del cadáver de todos tus sueños

Love is an ungrateful oneEl amor es un ingrato
Who lifts you up for a whileQue te eleva por un rato
And drops you down just becauseY te desploma porque sí
Love is two in oneEl amor son dos en uno
Who in the end are noneY al final no son ninguno
And get used to lyingY se acostumbran a mentir
Love is the beautyEl amor es la belleza
That feeds on sadnessQue se nutre de tristeza
And in the end always leavesY al final siempre se va
