Cubierto con velos
Covered with veils
Mirándote a través
Looking at you through
Espejos quebrados
Broken mirrors
No hay mas que cielos nublados
There are only cloudy skies
Como puede un hombre muerto
How can a dead man
Sembrar semillas en un huerto
Sow seeds in a garden
Y no ensuciarse el oberol
And not soil his overalls
Y no quemarse con el sol
And not get burned by the sun
Tu cuerpo desnudo
Your naked body
Pensándote otra vez
Thinking of you once more
En sueños mojados
In wet dreams
No existen deseos frustrados
Frustrated desires don't exist
Un tren que no intento llegar
A train that never tried to arrive
Mil sirenas que se ahogaron en el mar
A thousand sirens that drowned in the sea
Ensuciaron su oberol
Soiling their overalls
Se quemaron con el sol
They burned under the sun
Robando maizales
Stealing cornfields
Un cuervo está feliz...
A crow is happy...
Atado a un gobierno que
Tied to a government that
Promete castigos eternos
Promises eternal punishments
En la calle muere un perro
On the street a dog dies
Pero nadie va a su entierro
But no one attends its funeral
Le robaron su oberol
They stole its overalls
Lo quemaron con el sol.
They burned it under the sun.
Cubierto con tierra
Covered with earth
Un cuerpo es tan normal
A body is so ordinary
Alimentando gusanos que
Feeding worms that
Soñaron ser seres humanos
Dreamed of being human beings
Como puede un hombre muerto
How can a dead man
Sembrar semillas en un huerto
Sow seeds in a garden
Y no ensuciarse el oberol
And not soil the overalls
Y no quemarse con el sol
And not get burned by the sun
