Pedantería

Pedantry

Pedantería

If you were to give meSi me dieras
Just one of those nightsUna sola de esas noches
That you have extra and give away in lifeQue te sobran y regalas en la vida

That world of arrivals and departuresEse mundo de llegadas y partidas
The medals you callLas medallas que tu llamas
Your woundsTus heridas

If you were to give me just one of thoseSi me dieras una sola de aquellas
That matter to me and dress in grayQue me importan y visten de gris
A night that is extra in your lifeUna noche que sobra en tu vida
A chance to make you happyUna chance de hacerte feliz

And it occurs to me that I can beY se me antoja que yo puedo ser
Your final point, the last timeTu punto final, la última vez
Such certainty of mineQue seguridad la mía
More than faith, pedantryMás que fe, pedantería

It occurs to meSe me ocurre
Other lives that passed through your lifeQuedarían desteñidas
Would be fadedOtras vidas que pasaron por tu vida

That were not loveQue no fueron el amor
But desireSino el deseo
To debut and discoverDe estrenar y descubrir
A new bodyUn cuerpo nuevo

Nonsense, nothing new is peopleTonterías, nada nuevo es la gente
It's the mind, the imaginationEs la mente la imaginación
Condemned to die every nightCondenada a morir cada noche
If it doesn't understand the miracle of the SunSi no entiende el milagro del Sol

And it occurs to me that I can beY se me antoja que yo puedo ser
Your final point, the last timeTu punto final, la última vez
Such certainty of mineQue seguridad la mía
More than faith, pedantryMás que fe, pedantería
