So Quiet

Tan Silencioso

So Quiet

Llevé tu auto al río era medianocheTook your car to the river it was midnight
La luna tan brillante que no necesitábamos las lucesMoon so bright that we didnʼt need the headlights
Bajé, dejé mi ropa en el capóI got out left my clothing on the hood
Estabas tan quieto, no podía ver, no podía ver dónde estabasYou were so still, couldnʼt see, couldnʼt see where you stood
Y era silencioso, era tan silenciosoAnd it was quiet it was so quiet
Era silencioso, era tan silenciosoIt was quiet it was so quiet

El agua fría pero no podía apagar los fuegosWater cold but it couldnʼt stop the fires
Helicópteros sobre nuestras cabezas marcando el ritmo con los corosHelicopters over head keeping rhythm with the choirs
Veinte mil abandonaron sus hogaresTwenty thousand abandoned their homes
Se reunieron en la iglesia porque no había otro lugar a donde irThey were gathered at the church cuz thereʼs nowhere else to go
Y era silencioso, era tan silenciosoAnd it was quiet it was so quiet
Era silencioso, era tan silencioso, tan silenciosoIt was quiet it was so quiet, so quiet

Todo el tiempo estabas sosteniendo mis manosAll the while you were holding my hands
Me mirabas a los ojos como si supieras que entenderíaYou were looking in my eyes like you knew Iʼd understand
Y el agua en mis pulmones trae la calma como las drogasAnd the water in my lungs brings the safety like the drugs
Como las drogasLike the drugs

Llevé tu auto al río era medianocheTook your car to the river it was midnight
La luna tan brillante que no necesitábamos las lucesMoon so bright that we didnʼt need the headlights
Bajé, dejé mi ropa en el capóI got out left my clothing on the hood
Estábamos tan seguros, hicimos todo lo que pudimosWe were so sure, we did everything we could
Y era silencioso, era tan silenciosoAnd it was quiet it was so quiet
Era silencioso, era tan silenciosoIt was quiet it was so quiet

Todo el tiempo estabas sosteniendo mis manosAll the while you were holding my hands
Me mirabas a los ojos como si supieras que entenderíaYou were looking in my eyes like you knew Iʼd understand
