El Alacrán

The Scorpion

El Alacrán

Sometimes I feel like your gazeA veces siento que tu mirada
is sharp as a daggeres afilada como un puñal
maybe you're just distrustfulserá tal vez que eres desconfiada
maybe you're itching to killserá que traes ganas de matar

You climbed up the ravineSubiste a lo alto de la quebrada
to throw my memory into the seapara tirar mi recuerdo al mar
I couldn't be who you expectedno supe ser el que tu esperabas
I'm just the one who managed to arriveyo solo soy el que supo llegar

And I saw you face to face / and I saw you shineY te ví de frente / y te ví brillar
when we suddenly feltcuando sentimos de repente
the sting of the scorpionel aguijón del alacrán

They say you shouldn't go out at nightDicen que no hay que salir de noche
that the city has become deadlyque la ciudad se volvió mortal
but the death that touches mepero la muerte que a mi me toque
will be from the scorpion's stingque sea al piquete del alacrán

And it will come face to face / if you see it comingY vendra de frente / si la ves venir
maybe if you live boldly...sólo tal vez si vives fuerte...
you have the option to choosetienes opción de elegir

You know how to choose who you dance withYa sabes bien elegir que bailas
Even in love, you know how to chooseHasta en amor sabes elegir
someday you will choose who's in chargealgun dia vas a elegir quíen manda
but death chooses youpero la muerte te elige a tí

And it will come face to face / if you see it comingY vendra de frente / si la ves venir
maybe if you're luckysólo tal vez si tienes suerte
you have the option to choosetienes opción para elegir
