Afiches

Cruel on the poster,Cruel en el cartel,
The propaganda commands cruel on the poster.La propaganda manda cruel en el cartel.
And in the fetish of a paper posterY en el fetiche de un afiche de papel
Illusions are sold, hearts are raffled.Se vende la ilusion, se rifa el corazón.

And there you appearY apareces tu
Selling the last shred of youthVendiendo el último jiron de juventud
Loading me with the cross again.Cargandome otra vez la cruz.
Cruel on the posterCruel en el cartel
You laugh, heart...Te ries corazón...
Makes you want to shoot yourself in a corner.Dan ganas de balearse en un rincon.

Now the night gives way to the gateYa da la noche a la cancel
Its skin of dark circlesSu piel de ojera
Now the air wets its brushYa moja el aire su pincel
And with it makes the spring.Y hace con el la primavera.
But what! if your things are therePero que! si estan tus cosas
But you are notPero tu no estas
Because you are something for everyone alreadyPorque eres algo para todos ya
Like a nude in a shop window.Como un desnudo de vidriera.
I fought by your side for you, my god,Luche a tu lado para ti, por dios,
And I lost you...Y te perdi...

I gave you a home,Yo te di un hogar,
I was always poor but I gave you a home.Siempre fui pobre pero yo te di un hogar.
The smiles of fighting wore me outSe me gastaron las sonrisas de luchar
Fighting for youLuchando para ti
Bleeding for you.Sangrando para ti.

Then the truthLuego la verdad
Which is to rub sand on the palateQue es restregarse con arena el paladar,
And drown without being able to screamY ahogarse sin poder gritar
That I gave you a home.Que yo te di un hogar.
It was love's fault,Fue culpa del amor,
Makes you want to shoot yourself in a corner.Dan ganas de balearse en un rincon.

Now the night gives way to the gateYa da la noche a la cancel
Its skin of dark circlesSu piel de ojera
Now the air wets its brushYa moja el aire su pincel
And with it makes the spring.Y hace con el la primavera.
But what! if your things are therePero que! si estan tus cosas
But you are notPero tu no estas
Because you are something for everyone alreadyPorque eres algo para todos ya
Like a nude in a shop window.Como un desnudo de vidriera.
I fought by your side for you, my god,Luche a tu lado para ti, por dios,
And I lost you...Y te perdi...
