On the Edge of the Soul

A La Orilla Del Alma

On the edge of the soulA la orilla del alma
I leaned out, I leaned outme asomé, me asomé
Looking for a boaten busca de una barca
that sailed away without returning.que partió sin volver.
In the boat was a childEn la barca iba un niño
it was me, it was yesterday.era yo, era ayer.
On the edge of the soulEn la orilla del alma
only an old man I found.sólo un viejo encontré.

On the edge of the soulA la orilla del alma
I leaned out, I sailedme asomé, navegué
and I traded my guitary cambié mi guitarra
for a woman's body.por un cuerpo de mujer.
I traded my mother for wineCambié mi madre por vino
for an unmade bed.por un lecho sin hacer.
And in the sea of your eyesY en le mar de tus ojos
I shipwrecked, I shipwrecked.naufragué, naufragué.

On the edge of the soulA la orilla del alma
no one leans outnadie se asoma
until they seehasta no ver llegada
their last hour approaching.su última hora.
And sitting on the edgeY sentado en la orilla
only an old man I foundsólo un viejo encontré
who traded his guitarque cambió su guitarra
for a woman's body.por un cuerpo de mujer.

On the edge of the soulA la orilla del alma
no one leans outnadie se asoma
until they seehasta no ver llegada
their last hour approaching.su última hora.
