Noche y soledad
Night and solitude
Como siempre en este bar
As always in this bar
Con los pies allá abajo en el polvo
With my feet down there in the dust
Y la mente niebla y nada más
And my mind is fog and nothing more
En cada color te veo a ti
In every color, I see you
Las curvas de tu piel
The curves of your skin
En todas las salas de los aeropuertos
In all the airport lounges
Todos los puertos sin playa y sin sol
All the ports without beach and sun
Solo contigo vibro, ya ves
Only with you do I vibrate, you see
Cosa de equilibrio
A matter of balance
Cuando te vas me cortas las alas
When you leave, you cut my wings
Y caigo lejos de ti, lejos de ti
And I fall far from you, far from you
Tan lejos de tí
So far from you
Con los demás no puede ser
With the others, it can't be
Lo de volverte a ver
The thought of seeing you again
No tengo lágrimas para mi cuerpo
I have no tears for my body
Las he dejado en el arroyo
I've left them in the stream
Me estorban los demás
The others get in my way
Los que hablan fuerte, hablan por hablar
Those who talk loud, talk just to talk
Y te veo siempre en los escaparates
And I see you always in the shop windows
Y entre las botellas de Southern Comfort
And among the bottles of Southern Comfort
Sólo contigo vibro, ya ves
Only with you do I vibe, you see
Cosa de equilibrio
A matter of balance
Cuando te vas me cortas las alas
When you leave, you cut my wings
Y caigo lejos de ti, lejos de ti
And I fall far from you, far from you
Tan lejos de ti
So far from you
Un nuevo trago y después
A new drink and then
Quiero dormir
I want to sleep
Intentando estar de nuevo a tu lado
Trying to be by your side again
Como antes me abrazabas
Like you used to hold me
Los demás me molestan
Others annoy me
Los que hablan fuerte, hablan por hablar
Those who speak loud, just talk to talk
Y te veo siempre en los escaparates
And I always see you in the shop windows
Y entre las botellas de Southern Comfort
And among the bottles of Southern Comfort
Solo contigo vibro, ya ves
Only with you do I vibe, you see
Cosa de equilibrio
A matter of balance
Cuando te vas me cortas las alas
When you leave, you cut my wings
Y caigo lejos de ti, lejos de ti
And I fall far from you, far from you
Tan lejos de tí
So far from you
