Al Alba

At Dawn

Al Alba

If I told you, my loveSi te dijera, amor mío
That I fear the early morningQue temo a la madrugada
I don't know what stars these areNo sé qué estrellas son estas
That hurt like threatsQue hieren como amenazas
Nor do I know what the Moon bleedsNi sé qué sangra la Luna
At the edge of its scytheAl filo de su guadaña

I sense that after the nightPresiento que tras la noche
Will come the longest nightVendrá la noche más larga

I want you not to leave meQuiero que no me abandones
My love, at dawnAmor mío, al alba
At dawn, at dawnAl alba, al alba
At dawn, at dawnAl alba, al alba

The children we never hadLos hijos que no tuvimos
Hide in the sewersSe esconden en las cloacas
They eat the last flowersComen las últimas flores
It seems as if they guessedParece que adivinaran
That the approaching dayQue el día que se avecina
Comes with delayed hungerViene con hambre atrasada

I sense that after the nightPresiento que tras la noche
Will come the longest nightVendrá la noche más larga

I want you not to leave meQuiero que no me abandones
My love, at dawnAmor mío, al alba
At dawn, at dawnAl alba, al alba
At dawn, at dawnAl alba, al alba

Thousands of silent vulturesMiles de buitres callados
Are spreading their wingsVan extendiendo sus alas
Doesn't it break you, my love¿No te destroza, amor mío
This silent dance?Esta silenciosa danza?
Accursed dance of the dead!¡Maldito baile de muertos!
Morning gunpowderPólvora de la mañana

I sense that after the nightPresiento que tras la noche
Will come the longest nightVendrá la noche más larga

I want you not to leave meQuiero que no me abandones
My love, at dawnAmor mío, al alba
At dawn, at dawnAl alba, al alba
At dawn, at dawnAl alba, al alba

At dawn, at dawnAl alba, al alba
At dawn, at dawnAl alba, al alba

At dawn, at dawnAl alba, al alba
At dawn, at dawnAl alba, al alba
