The Angel

El Angel

I can walk your belly, free from lovePuedo caminar tu vientre libertario del amor
I can undo your world with my cardboard handspuedo desandar tu mundo con mis manos de cartón
And the wind that surrounds your silence and your songy el viento que rodea tu silencio y tu canción
Is a wind of hopees viento de esperanza
An American cry of pain, just painun americano grito de dolor, tan solo de dolor

Today I lie down in your nobility, with my crystal swordHoy me acuesto en tu nobleza, con mi espada de cristal
Today I hide in the ancients, metal heartshoy me oculto en los antiguos, corazones de metal
And in the mornings I go back to seek my solitudey en las mañanas vuelvo a buscar mi soledad
In relentless chantsen cantos implacables
A tide of sky within, I must fly, I just must flymarea de cielo adentro he de volar, tan solo he de volar

The angel, the pure angel of your walkEl ángel, el ángel puro de tu andar
Knows how to die, knows how to singsabe morir, sabe cantar
Turns into the moon with the saltse vuelve luna con la sal
It's springtime out at seaes primavera en altamar
And you will depart in freedomy has de partir en libertad

I bleed out in the nostalgia of a distant sunsetMe desangro en la nostalgia de un lejano atardecer
Your hope caresses me, inviting me to be rebornme acaricia tu esperanza, que me invita a renacer
And a song of sand brings me back to childhoody una canción de arena me devuelve a la niñez
And I reach my backyardy llego hasta mi patio
A dirt path inside to walk, just to walksendero de tierra adentro a caminar, tan solo a caminar

The agony isn't so sweet, of these paper yearsNo es tan dulce la agonía, de estos años de papel
The sadness isn't so white, that my brush spillsno es tan blanca la tristeza, que derrama mi pincel
From wise writings, your words I will drinkde sabias escrituras tu vocablo beberé
Captive of this markcautivo de esta huella
A chest caress inside, I must be born, I just must be borncaricia de pecho adentro he de nacer, tan solo he de nacer

The angel, the pure angel of your walkEl ángel, el ángel puro de tu andar
Knows how to die, knows how to singsabe morir, sabe cantar
Turns into the moon with the saltse vuelve luna con la sal
It's springtime out at seaes primavera en altamar
And you will depart in freedomy has de partir en libertad
