De este lado de la noche

On This Side of the Night

De este lado de la noche

Lives in the dark halfVive en la mitad obscura
The black half of manLa mitad negra del hombre
Knows that his life is his ownSabe que su vida es suya
Arrow that cuts through the windFlecha que corta el viento

Carries a lit torchLleva una antorcha encendida
That lights up a hole in his chestQue alumbra un hueco de su pecho
A light that shapes the worldLuz que dibuja el mundo
The lanterns of the eyesLas linternas de los ojos

A flower in the gardenUna flor el jardín
And thirst facing the seaY la sed frente al mar
Tattletale heartCorazón delator
That I can no longer hold backQue ya no puedo detener

It broke through the wallTraspasó la pared
The garden and the flowerEl jardín y la flor
Tattletale heartCorazón delator
You won't know of my desireNo sabrás de mi deseo

The spirit in the skullEl espíritu en el cráneo
Stirs restlessly and speaks to himSe agita inquieto y le habla
Of an ancient and certain fearDe un temor antiguo y cierto
For love, the sacrificePor amor el sacrificio

The words of doubtLas palabras de la duda
Are fear and are deathSon el miedo y son la muerte
Knows that his life is his ownSabe que su vida es suya
Arrow that cuts through the windFlecha que corta el viento

Look at how many people are aloneMira cuanta gente sola
On this side of the nightDe este lado de la noche
Tattletale heart, you won't know of my desire.Corazón delator no sabrás de mi deseo.
