Afiches

Cruel on the posterCruel en el cartel
The ad hits hard, cruel on the posterLa propaganda manda cruel en el cartel
And in the fetish of a paper adY en el fetiche de un afiche de papel
Illusions are soldSe vende la ilusión
Hearts are raffled offSe rifa el corazón
And here you comeY apareces tú
Selling the last shred of youthVendiendo el último jirón de juventud
Loading me up with the cross againCargándome otra vez la cruz
Cruel on the poster, you laugh, my heart!¡Cruel en el cartel, te ríes, corazón!
Makes you want to blow your brains out in a corner!¡Dan ganas de balearse en un rincón!

Night falls at the gateYa da la noche a la cancel
Her skin's got dark circlesSu piel de ojera
Her brush moistens the airYa moja el aire su pincel
And with it, she brings springY hace con él la primavera
But what?¿Pero qué?
Your things are here but you’re notSi están tus cosas pero tú no estás
Because you’re something for everyone, yeahPorque eres algo para todos, ya
Like a mannequin in a shop windowComo un desnudo de vidriera
I fought by your side, for you¡Luché a tu lado, para ti
For God’s sake, and I lost you!Por Dios, y te perdí!

I gave you a homeYo te di un hogar
I was always broke, but I gave you a home!¡Siempre fui pobre, pero yo te di un hogar!
I ran out of smiles from fightingSe me gastaron las sonrisas de luchar
Fighting for youLuchando para ti
Bleeding for youSangrando para ti
Then the truthLuego la verdad
Is rubbing your palate with sandQue es restregarse con arena el paladar
And drowning without being able to screamY ahogarse sin poder gritar
I gave you a homeYo te di un hogar
It was love's fault!¡Fue culpa del amor!
Makes you want to blow your brains out in a corner!¡Dan ganas de balearse en un rincón!
