Con Un Beso Por Fusil

With a Kiss as a Rifle

Con Un Beso Por Fusil

I can't think of another wayNo se me ocurre otra manera
To continue in a state of warDe seguir en pie de guerra
Than to take shelter in your armsQue cobijarme entre tus brazos
Practicing lying on the groundPracticando el cuerpo a tierra
And camouflage myself with your fleshY camuflarme con tu carne
In its most uncivil passionEn su pasión más incivil
To face the packPara hacer frente a la jauría
When it escapes from the foldCuando escape del redil

I can't think of another wayNo se me ocurre otra manera
To continue in the trenchDe seguir en la trinchera
With a kiss as a rifleCon un beso por fusil
With a kiss as a rifleCon un beso por fusil

I can't think of another wayNo se me ocurre otra manera
To continue, I don't know whereDe seguir no sé hacia dónde
Than to go after the smoke that pointsQue ir tras el humo que señala
To the fire your body hidesEl fuego que tu cuerpo esconde
To find the fleeting lightPara encontrar la luz fugaz
Of some April lightningDe algún relámpago de abril
That reveals to me a chiaroscuroQue me descubra un claroscuro
A silhouette, some profileUna silueta algún perfil

I can't think of another wayNo se me ocurre otra manera
To continue in the trenchDe seguir en la trinchera
With a kiss as a rifleCon un beso por fusil
With a kiss as a rifleCon un beso por fusil

I can't think of another wayNo se me ocurre otra manera
To overcome eternal doubtDe vencer la eterna duda
Than to submit to the finite truthQue someterme a la verdad finita
Of your naked skinDe tu piel desnuda
More powerful than the tyrannyMás poderosa que la tiranía
Of any reptileDe cualquier reptil
Perched on the garbageEncaramado a las basuras
Of its ivory towerDe su torre de marfil

I can't think of another wayNo se me ocurre otra manera
To continue in the trenchDe seguir en la trinchera
With a kiss as a rifleCon un beso por fusil
With a kiss as a rifleCon un beso por fusil
