Algo Nos Pasará

Something Will Happen to Us

Algo Nos Pasará

We've stayed seatedNos hemos quedado sentados
On the floor of the small atticEn el suelo del pequeño desván
Without meaning to, you look at meSin querer tú me miras
And something runs down my spineY algo recorre mi espina dorsal
There's a broken bike, an old sofaHay una bici rota, un viejo sofá
Tired toys and a postcard with an 'I love you' written at the endJuguetes cansados y una postal con un te quiero escrito al final

You tell me you have a book that reflects what you believe to beMe cuentas que tienes un libro que refleja lo que tú crees ser
There are books that have mirrors instead of pages of white paperHay libros que tienen espejos en vez de páginas de blanco papel
There are cigarettes and some teaHay cigarrillos y algo de té
There are cookies that taste like honey leftQuedan galletas que saben a miel
The same song by The Kinks againLa misma canción de Los Kinks otra vez

Something will happen to usAlgo nos pasará
There's no turning backNo habrá vuelta atrás
It's better for me to goMejor que me vaya
Something will happen to us if it hasn't alreadyAlgo nos pasará si no ha pasado ya
And we do nothing, nothingY no hacemos nada, nada
Nothing and we do nothing something will happen to usNada y no hacemos nada algo nos pasará

Through the round window we peek out to see the cityPor la ventana redonda nos asomamos para ver la ciudad
From here you look tinyDesde aquí se os ve diminutos
It doesn't seem like you can do any harmNo parece que podéis hacer mal
The night lends us the shadows of yesterday, this twilight suits us so wellLa noche nos presta las sombras de ayer, esta penumbra nos sienta tan bien
I can speak now without looking down at my feetYa puedo hablar sin mirarme a los pies
