Verde, aún es tiempo de regresar al verde
Green, it's still time to return to the green
La muerte te puede encontrar en un bello lugar
Death can find you in a beautiful place
Los peces no quieren llevar por sus caminos
The fish don't want to take you on their paths
Espadas de luz se clavan en tu cuerpo
Swords of light pierce your body
Vida, tú que eres verde no me hagas tragar tu caliz
Life, you who are green, don't make me drink your chalice
O es que quieres que encuentre la muerte
Or do you want me to find death?
Ir allá contigo estar como aparte de ti
To go there with you feels like being apart from you
Manaties cocodrilos, me tragan, me procesan, me hacen de ti
Manatees and crocodiles, they swallow me, process me, make me of you
Este no es un día muy normal
This is not a very normal day
Lo mejor sería no pensar
The best thing would be not to think
De este lado algo puede occurrir
Something might happen on this side
Y no sé si voy a resistir
And I don't know if I'll be able to hold on
