Foreign Scenes

Cenas Ajenas

As a kid I heard,De niño escuche,
If you don't see anything.Si no veis nada.
Go back,Volved hacia atrás,
Take some distance.Tomad distancia.

Lights turn on again in the houses,Prenden otra vez las luces en las casas,
The underwear of this strange night.La ropa interior de esta noche extraña.
I started looking,Me dio por buscar,
Next to my sister,Junto a mi hermana,
Families in shadows,Familias en sombras,
Taking out the axe.Sacando el hacha.

Today I made,Hoy he vuelto a hacer,
A trench at the window.Trinchera en la ventana.
To decipher,Para descifrar,
Their firefly niches.Sus nichos de luciérnagas.

What are we going to do to interpret,Que vamos a hacer para interpretar,
The message in Morse,El mensaje en morse,
That their houses send.Que lanzan sus casas.
What are we going to do to not carry,Que vamos a hacer para no cargar,
The same crosses,Con las mismas cruces,
And fall into their traps.Y caer en sus trampas.

There's an older guy,Hay un tipo mayor,
In striped pajamas.Con el pijama a rayas.
Who has been taken hostage,Al que han hecho rehén,
By the shrews.Las musarañas.
His TV acting as a bonfire,Su televisor haciendo de candela,
And his attention presiding over the table.Y de su atención y preside la mesa.

What are we going to do to not hang,Que vamos a hacer para no colgar,
Family photos and plasma screens.Fotos de familia y pantallas de plasma.
What are we going to do to not chat,Que vamos a hacer para no charlar,
About when we were great,De cuando éramos grandes,
And it was all for nothing.Y no sirvió para nada.

The woman sees me and lowers the blinds,La mujer me ve y baja la persiana,
They've caught me again stealing their souls.Ya me han vuelto a ver robándole sus almas.

What are we going to do to decipher,Que vamos a hacer para descifrar,
The hidden Morse message,El mensaje en morse,
In their houses.Oculto en sus casas.
What are we going to do to not carry,Que vamos a hacer para no cargar,
The same crosses and fall into their traps.Con las mismas cruces y caer en sus trampas.
Our own traps.Nuestras propias trarnpas.
