El Faro

The Lighthouse

El Faro

I'm a lighthouseSoy un faro
And I open upY me abro
12 times per minute12 veces por minuto
That's what that concreteEso dijo aquella mole
With a light bulb saidDe cemento con bombilla

It's nighttimeEs de noche
But there are sunsPero hay soles
In the distance in the darkA lo lejos en lo oscuro
Many cars usually comeSuelen venir muchos coches
With sadness turned onCon la tristeza encendida

And this cliffY este acantilado
Is almost an endEs casi un final
For that boyPara aquel muchacho
Who doesn't know how to start overQue no sabe volver a empezar

But the lighthouse wasn't there in vainPero el faro no estaba alli en vano
And it knew how to illuminate in timeY supo alumbrar a tiempo
With its beam the skyCon su rafaga el firmamento

BoyMuchacho
Don't let yourself fall like a ragNo te dejes caer como un trapo
It's a lie that you reach heaven by dyingEs mentira que muriendo se llega al cielo
And even less by dying downhillY menos muriendo cuesta abajo
Heaven is for the livingEl cielo es para los vivos
And you only get there by livingY solo se llega viviendo
Boy oh boyMuchacho muchacho

I'm a lighthouseSoy un faro
And my handY mi mano
Throws lifelinesLanza lineas de la vida
Not just for the boatY no solo para el barco
But also looking for your smileTambién busco tú sonrisa

Because there are nightsPorque hay noches
That are envelopesQue son sobres
From letters with edgesDe las cartas con cornizas
It's okay for chaos to eruptEsta bien que estalle el desorden
But always upwardsPero siempre hacia arriba

The cliffEl acantilado
Is not the beginning of an endNo es le principio de un final
If you started to love yourself, boySi empezaras a qrerte muchacho
It could seem like a pedestalPodria parecer un pedeztal

And the lighthouseY es q el faro
Wasn't there in vainNo estaba alli en vano
And it knew how to illuminate in timeY supo alumbrar a tiempo
With its beam the skyCon su rafaga el firmamento

BoyMuchacho
Don't let yourself fall like a ragNo te dejes caer como un trapo
It's a lie that you reach heaven by dyingEs mentira que muriendo se llega al cielo
And even less by dying downhillY menos muriendo cuesta abajo
Heaven is for the livingEl cielo es para los vivos
And you only get there by livingY solo se llega viviendo
Boy oh boyMuchacho muchacho

Don't let yourself fall like a ragNo te dejes caer como un trapo
It's a lie that you reach heaven by dyingEs mentira que muriendo se llega al cielo
And even less by dying downhillY menos muriendo cuesta abajo
Heaven is for the livingEl cielo es para los vivos
And you only get there by livingY solo se llega viviendo
Boy oh boyMuchacho muchacho
