Vis a Vis

Face to Face

Vis a Vis

And how nice it is to seeY qué bonito mirar
The shadows cast by the barsLa sombra que hacen las rejas
While I lean in to hearMientras meto las orejas
The rhythm of your stepsEn el centro de tu andar

If the world’s upside downSi el mundo está del revés
We’ll need to find some sanityHabrá que buscar cordura
And a touch of madnessY una pizca de locura
To love you even morePara saber quererte más

Yesterday I wrote you a letterAyer te escribí una carta
Today I’m writing this songHoy te escribo esta canción
Tomorrow we have a dateMañana tenemos cita
Where love gets robbed of timeDonde le roban tiempo al amor

We’ll fly without movingVolaremos sin movernos
And wherever we need to signY donde haya que firmar
I’ll make a little cutMe haré una pequeña herida
With blood that spans the seaCon sangre que abarca el mar

To put it in writingPara dejar por escrito
That I won’t back downQue no voy a abandonar
And add blood to the cryY ponerle sangre al grito
Of those who love without being able to loveDe los que aman sin poder amar

To put it in writingPara dejar por escrito
That I won’t back downQue no voy a abandonar
And add blood to the cryY ponerle sangre al grito
Of those who love without being able to loveDe los que aman sin poder amar

This voice can’t be silencedEsta voz no hay quien la calle
Neither by the wall nor the glassNi la pared ni el cristal
Out there, you’re missedFuera se te echa de menos
Freedom’s crying outAnda llorando la libertad

And then we’ll let goY después nos dejaremos
If we want to let goSi nos queremos dejar
But we never let them goA ellos nunca les dejamos
Their chains are made of saltSus cadenas son de sal

From a salt that dissolvesDe una sal que se deshace
With more tears of saltCon más lágrimas de sal
From your moan and mineDe tu quejido y el mío
In a biweekly face to faceEn vis a vis quincenal
In a biweekly face to faceEn vis a vis quincenal

In a biweekly face to faceEn vis a vis quincenal

To put it in writingPara dejar por escrito
That I won’t back downQue no voy a abandonar
And add blood to the cryY ponerle sangre al grito
Of those who love without being able to loveDe los que aman sin poder amar

To put it in writingPara dejar por escrito
That I won’t back downQue no voy a abandonar
And add blood to the cryY ponerle sangre al grito
Of those who love without being able to loveDe los que aman sin poder amar

Of those who love without being able to loveDe los que aman sin poder amar
