Herida Mortal

Mortal Wound

Herida Mortal

Give me a mortal woundHazme una herida mortal
Make me fall with your most lethal weaponHazme caer con tu arma más letal
Just give me a mortal woundTan solo hazme una herida mortal
I tell you, don't let me escapeTe digo no me dejes escapar

If you have known me wellSi me has conocido bien
Surely you have already seenDe seguro que ya has visto
That I have avoided commitmentQue le huido al compromiso
And marriage tooY al matrimonio también
It's not that I can't be faithfulNo es que no pueda ser fiel
But I have been distractedPero he sido distraído
That's why my love I ask of youPor eso mi amor te pido
To shoot your best arrowQue lances tu mejor flecha
And maybe I will learnY así puede ser que aprenda
To see what I have never seenA ver lo que nunca he visto

To see, to see, to seeA ver, a ver, a ver
They have thrown at meQue me han tirado
Even with flip-flopsHasta con la chancletas
The bullets don't hit meLas balas no me dan
They seem to shoot blanksParecen tirar con salva
The flirtiest skirtsLas faldas más coquetas
Don't even make me wantQue ya ni ganas me dan
Maybe I see a treasure in youSerá que veo en ti un tesoro
If you see it dark, give it your all, give it your allSi lo ves negra ponle todo, ponle todo
They must pull their feet out of the mudHan de sacar los pies del lodo
So that only my eyes are yoursQue solo tuyos sean mis ojos

And just give me a mortal woundY solo hazme una herida mortal
Make me fall with your most lethal weaponHazme caer con tu arma más letal
Just give me a mortal woundTan solo hazme una herida mortal
I tell you, don't let me escapeTe digo no me dejes escapar

She had a beautiful faceElla era de bella cara
Had a stunning bodyTenía zendo cuerpazo
But besides the gymPero aparte del gimnasio
She didn't talk about anything elseNo hablaba de más nada
I met another mulattoConocí a otra mulata
Who has good intentionsQue está de buena intención
But seeking attentionPero buscando atención
She climbed on the platform, noSe montaba en tribuna, no
And none of them killed meY no me mató ninguna
Like you kill meAsí como tú me matas

Like this, like this, like this, like thisAsí, así, así, así
In so many years before meeting youEn tantos años antes de vivirte
I built a dovecoteMe hice un palomar
But they bought me sacksPero me compraron sacos
Of grains and birdseedDe granos y de alpiste
To let them flyPara echarlas a volar
You'll see I see a treasure in youVerás que veo en ti un tesoro
If you see it dark, give it your all, give it your allSi lo ves negra ponle todo, ponle todo
Before pulling your feet out of the mudAntes de sacar los pies del lodo
So that only my eyes are yoursQue solo tuyos sean mis ojos

And just give me a mortal woundY solo hazme una herida mortal
Make me fall with your most lethal weaponHazme caer con tu arma más letal
Just give me a mortal woundTan solo hazme una herida mortal
I tell you, don't let me escapeTe digo no me dejes escapar

Give me a mortal woundHazme una herida mortal
(A mortal wound, a mortal wound)(Una herida mortal, una herida mortal)
Make me fall with your most lethal weaponHazme caer con tu arma más letal
Just give me a mortal woundTan solo hazme una herida mortal
(A mortal wound, a mortal wound)(Una herida mortal, una herida mortal)

I tell you no, don't let me escapeTe digo no, no me dejes escapar
No, no, noNo, no, no
A mortal wound, a mortal woundUna herida mortal, una herida mortal
