Today I sit down to write with cautionHoy me pongo a escribir con pie de plomo
So I don’t repeat myselfPara no repetirme
'Cause behind my desk there's an executionerPues detrás de mi mesa hay un verdugo
Who keeps me in lineQue me pone firme

If I write the word seagullSi escribo la palabra gaviota
Or the sound of rain in the gardenO el rumor de la lluvia en el jardín
If I write swallowSi escribo golondrina
Or welcome the fallO recibo el otoño
The executioner attacks me mercilesslyEl verdugo me ataca sin piedad

ChorusEstribillo

You've already sung thatEso ya lo has cantao
You've already sung thatEso ya lo has cantao
ThatEso
ThatEso
You've already sung thatEso ya lo has cantao

If the main character says I love youSi el protagonista dice te quiero
While the breeze blowsMientras sopla la brisa
Walking on a carpet of dry leavesPaseando una alfombra de hojas secas
While he caresses itMientras la acaricia

If the main character turns the cornerSi el protagonista dobla la esquina
Or if a sparrow crosses the gray skyO si cruza un gorrión el cielo gris
If the afternoon diesSi se muere la tarde
Or if the moon shinesO si brilla la luna
The executioner attacks me mercilesslyEl verdugo me ataca sin piedad

ChorusEstribillo

If a sailboat sails the baySi navega un velero la bahía
And she, in loveY ella, enamorada
Waves as she passes by, from the sandLe saluda al pasar, desde la arena
Of a white beachDe una playa blanca

If I write the word butterflySi escribo la palabra mariposa
I wonder what I didn’t writeMe pregunto a que cosa no escribí
And if I write doveY si escribo paloma
I think of a friendMe acuerdo de una amiga
And the executioner pounces on meY el verdugo se lanza sobre mí

ChorusEstribillo
