Espinos de Seda

Silk Thorns

Espinos de Seda

Thousands of dead questions in an inkpotMiles de preguntas muertas en un tintero
A mind dried out from dreaming up big doses of sleeplessnessUna mente disecada de tanto idear grandes dosis corruptivas de desveló
Milling about without a tissue andMillantar sin un pañuelo y
A bed without a homeUna cama sin hogar

He touches his face from all those wasted hoursEl se toca la cara de horas muertas
That wait that drives you crazy from so much andEsa espera que desespera de tanto tanto y
So much waitingTanto esperar
I have a thousand shitty ideas so desertedTengo mil ideas de mierda tan desiertas
The door's half open andLa puerta y entre abierta y
A little bed without a homeUna camita sin hogar

(Why did you come to be born among so many thorns, love?)(Por qué viniste a nacer entre tanto espino amor)

Because you let me prayPorque dejaste rezar
Your illusion inside meTu ilusión en mi interior
(Swaying, swaying(Bamboleando bamboleandose
Swaying, swaying, this is my heart)Bamboleando bamboleando esta mi corazón)

I was a mechano in your armsFui un mecano en tus brazos
A chromatic harmonyUna armonía cromática
Half clown and jokesterMedio bufón y payasico
In your unfriendly gazeEn tu mirada antipática
I was the limping centipede in your stepsFui el cien pies que cojea en tus pasos
A ring of drool on your fine pillowCerco de babas en tu fina almohada
An important photo of a big fuck-upFoto importante de un gran carajazo
A note and a postscript of a huge screw-upNota y posdata de una gran cagada

(Why did you come to be born among so many thorns, love?)(Por qué viniste a nacer entre tanto espino amor)

Because you let me prayPorque dejaste rezar
Your illusion inside meTu ilusión en mi interior
(Swaying, swaying(Bamboleando bamboleandose
Swaying, swaying, this is my heart)Bamboleando bamboleando esta mi corazón)

My eyes are shedding tears on a paper diaryMis ojos se deshojan en un diario de papel
Wait or despair andEspera o desespera y
Waiting in solitudeEsperando en soledad
We had a thousand things thatTeníamos mil cosas que
Were left undoneQuedaron por hacer
I remember we thoughtRecuerdo que pensamos
Of love and eternityEn amor y eternidad

(Why did you come to be born among so many thorns, love?)(Por qué viniste a nacer entre tanto espino amor)

Because you let me prayPorque dejaste rezar
Your illusion inside meTu ilusión en mi interior
(Swaying, swaying(Bamboleando bamboleandose
Swaying, swaying, this is my heart)Bamboleando bamboleando esta mi corazón)
