Monserrate

Monserrate

Monserrate

Jump from the Sun without a safety netSalto desde el Sol sin red
Like an act of love, an act of faithComo un acto de amor, un acto de fe
To your brutal affection I surrender without knowingA tu afecto brutal me entrego sin saber
I fall into the temptation to burnCaigo en tentación de arder
In the inner bonfire that you let seeEn la hoguera interior que le dejas ver
Only to those who know how to love the cold of your skinSolo a quien sepa amar el frío de tu piel
Give me a gray afternoon, a crack that lets the pain escape from meDame una tarde gris, una grieta que deje huir el dolor en mí
Then a sky that burns with happinessLuego un cielo que queme de felicidad
Keep a color from the south, a trace of blue sky, just a ray of lightGuarda un color del sur, un rezago de cielo azul, solo un haz de luz
That slides on the roofs to the windowQue resbale en los techos hasta el ventanal
It's already night and Monserrate is a ghost that doesn't sleepYa es de noche y Monserrate es un fantasma que no duerme
That sees everything, that can't speakQue todo lo ve, que no puede hablar
Everything is silent, everything feelsTodo calla, todo siente

Almost heaven, almost an angel that returns me to earthCasi el cielo, casi un ángel que a la tierra me devuelve
To the sanity of my loneliness, to the emptiness that doesn't lieA la sensatez de mi soledad, al vacío que no miente
It's my heart the trainEs mi corazón el tren
That deafens your voice, that is going to break youQue ensordece tu voz, que te va a romper
Under the weight of so many dreams at onceBajo el peso de tantos sueños a la vez
Give me a reason to beDame una razón de ser
A truce to the fear of seeing us fallUna tregua al temor de vernos caer
To the instinct of hurting each other unintentionallyAl instinto de hacernos daño sin querer
Let me see you like this, dripping the pain in you, so serene at lastDéjame verte así, escurriendo el dolor en ti, tan serena al fin
In the calm that remains after the stormEn la calma que queda tras el vendaval
I have a moment left to escape from the crowd, before the landslideTengo un instante aún para huir de la multitud, antes del alud
Of the fog that the hill begins to spillDe la niebla que el cerro empieza a derramar

It's already night and Monserrate is a ghost that doesn't sleepYa es de noche y Monserrate es un fantasma que no duerme
That sees everything, that can't speakQue todo lo ve, que no puede hablar
Everything is silent, everything feelsTodo calla, todo siente
Almost heaven, almost an angel that returns me to earthCasi el cielo, casi un ángel que a la tierra me devuelve
To the sanity of my loneliness, to the emptiness that doesn't lieA la sensatez de mi soledad, al vacío que no miente
And even though it sees everything, it can't screamY aunque todo ve no puede gritar
So present and so absentTan presente y tan ausente
Don't you feel the pain of seeing everything the same?¿No te duele ver que todo va igual?
Same mistake with different peopleMismo error con otra gente
Don't let the dawn blind usNo dejes que nos ciegue la aurora
That in your womb the dawn is already awakeningQue entre tu vientre la aurora ya se despierta
Oh, it awakens, oh!Oh, se despierta, oh!
