Déjate caer
Let yourself fall
Déjate caer
Let yourself fall
La tierra es al revés
The earth is upside down
La sangre es amarilla
The blood is yellow
Déjate caer
Let yourself fall
El viento ya no sopla
The wind no longer blows
La boca bien cerrada
Keep your mouth tightly closed
Amárrate los pies
Tie your feet
Piensa en tu madre
Think of your mother
Y déjate caer
And let yourself fall
Mira al cielo ceder
Look to the sky yielding
Y a la tierra después
And to the earth next
Vuelve a creer
Believe again
La sangre es amarilla
The blood is yellow
Déjate caer
Let yourself fall
Las olas ya no mojan
The waves no longer wet
La ira de las rocas
The wrath of the rocks
Amárrame otra vez
Tie me up again
Un beso a mi madre
A kiss to my mother
Y déjame caer
And let me fall
Mira al cielo ceder
Look at the sky giving in
Y a la tierra después
And to the earth after
Vuelve a creer
Come back to believe
La sangre es amarilla
The blood is yellow
Déjate caer
Let yourself fall
Consuélame otra vez
Comfort me once more
Porque no pienso volver
Because I don't plan to return
El suelo tiene sed
The ground is thirsty
La vida es imprecisa
Life is uncertain
Déjate caer
Let yourself fall
Las horas no demoran
The hours don't linger
A mi alma desertora
For my runaway soul
Explícalo muy bien
Explain it very well
Se abre la tierra
The earth opens up
Cielo está a mis pies
Heaven is at my feet
