De barro

Made of Mud

De barro

I'm looking at my lifeEstoy mirando mi vida
In the glass of a puddleEn el cristal de un charquito
And as I meditateY pasan mientras medito
The lost hours pass byLas horas perdidas
The withered dreamsLos sueños marchitos

And there are your beloved eyesY están tus ojos queridos
In the mirror of mudEn el espejo de barro
Ghosts of my cigaretteFantasmas de mi cigarro
Reproach and forgetfulnessReproche y olvido
Condemnation and forgivenessCondena y perdón

Your distant eyes returnVuelven tus ojos lejanos
With the tears of that dayCon el llanto de aquel día
To think that I placed in your handsPensar que puse en tus manos
A guilt that was mineUna culpa que era mía

To think that I didn't call youPensar que no te llamé
And I was gladY me alegré
When you were sufferingCuando tú estabas penando
To think that I didn't follow youPensar que no te seguí
And I laughedY me reí
When you left cryingCuando te fuiste llorando

And now that my life is not worthY hoy que no vale mi vida
Nor this cigarette buttNi este pucho de cigarro
I just realized that contempt and resentmentRecién sé que son de barro
Are made of mudEl desprecio y el rencor

So, measuring your sorrowAsí, midiendo tu pena
Night after night I consumeNoches y noches consumo
Trying to see in the smokeBuscando ver en el humo
Of the cigarette I smokeDel pucho que fumo
Your serene imageTu imagen serena

And upon finding you lostY al encontrarte perdida
Between cigarette and cigaretteEntre cigarro y cigarro
I know that everything was made of mudSé que todo fue de barro
My life was made of mudDe barro mi vida
My love was made of mudDe barro mi amor

Your distant eyes returnVuelven tus ojos lejanos
