Lila

I hope to hear your steps echoing on the avenueEspero escuchar tus pasos resonando en la avenida
see you come out of the bonfire like a Joan of Arcverte salir de la hoguera como una Juana de Arco
I know you sleep with old men who will die tomorrowsé que duermes con viejos que van a morir mañana
but I light the incense of lies with my pale fingersmas prendo el incienso de la mentira con mis dedos pálidos
and bid farewell to your men with a pious gospel.y le digo adiós a tus hombres con un piadoso gospel.

It's not fair!, I look at you and wither¡No es justo!, te miro y me marchito
what kind of person am I?¿qué clase de sujeto soy?

I reread the Bible like a fanatic moleReleo la Biblia como un topo fanático
there I get tangled in cables of divine words.ahí me enredo entre cables de palabras divinas.

And God doesn't hear meY Dios no me oye
God doesn't change you.Dios no te cambia.

I think I'll buy the revolver of justiceCreo que compraré el revólver de la justicia
from the Angel of shadows.al Ángel de las sombras.

Poor Lila without a songPobre Lila sin canción
she didn't want the hymn of my faith;no quiso el himno de mi fe;
poor sawdust girl.pobre niña de aserrín.

In the streets everyone chews your nameEn las calles todos mastican tu nombre
everyone in the bars knows when you dye your hairen los bares saben cuándo te tiñes el pelo
the sky smells like your perfumeel firmamento huele a tu perfume
God has a kiss of yours on his lips.Dios tiene un beso tuyo en los labios.

It's not fair!, I look at you and get depressed¡No es justo!, te miro y me deprimo
what kind of person am I?¿qué clase de sujeto soy?

I take you out drunk...Te saco ebria...
like a daughter of the fire of her soul.como una hija del incendio de su alma.

And the brotherhood has ordered me to pursue youY la hermandad me ha ordenado perseguirte
the brotherhood has ordered me to rescue youla hermandad me ha ordenado rescatarte
the brotherhood has ordered me to convert you, to free you.la hermandad me ha ordenado convertirte, liberarte.

Poor Lila without a songPobre Lila sin canción
she didn't want the hymn of my faith;no quiso el himno de mi fe;
poor sawdust girl.pobre niña de aserrín.
