El Deshielo

The Thaw

El Deshielo

It's easy to remember, the thaw came in AugustEs fácil recordar, el deshielo llegó en agosto
The month of gathering at the entranceEl mes de recogerme en el portal
We traveled fast, the air in combustionViajábamos deprisa, el aire en combustión
You barely touched me, I started to thawApenas me rozaste, me empecé a descongelar
You talked about your childhood, about your kind neighborHablabas de tu infancia, de tu amable vecina
She went out naked to close the balconySalía desnuda a cerrar el balcón
I talked non-stop, at an unattainable paceYo hablaba sin parar, a un ritmo inalcanzable
Like Marv to Wendy, you stopped listening to me.Como marv a wendy me has dejado de escuchar.

The shell began to melt and fellSe empezó a derretir la coraza y cayó
And my skin became fluorescentY mi piel se volvió fluorescente
How long was I hibernating?¿Durante cuánto tiempo estuve hibernando?
You didn't interrupt me, you were waiting for me.No me interrumpiste, me estabas esperando.
You made me forget the men on earthMe hiciste olvidar los hombres de la tierra
You tasted like all the ice creamsTenías el sabor de todos los helados
We were strangers on rainless daysÉramos extraños en días sin lluvia
Under the Perseids to watch them fallBajo las perseidas para verlas caer

When that endless lethargy endedCuando acabó aquel letargo sin fin
I stayed to live in AugustMe quedé en agosto a vivir
When that endless lethargy endedCuando acabó aquel letargo sin fin
I stayed to live in AugustMe quedé en agosto a vivir
When it endedCuando acabó
