El tiempo vuelve a pasar
Time passes again
Pero no hay primavera en Anhedonia
But there’s no spring in Anhedonia
El tiempo vuelve a llorar
Time cries again
Pero no hay primavera en Anhedonia
But there’s no spring in Anhedonia
Y aunque las luces son suaves
And even though the lights are soft
Y el cine está aquí
And the cinema is here
No hay nada que hacer de noche, no pasa nada
There’s nothing to do at night, nothing happens
Nada más que el tren
Nothing but the train
Un ángel vuela en París
An angel flies in Paris
Y un chico nace casi en Anhedonia
And a boy is born almost in Anhedonia
Está tan lejos de aquí
It's so far from here
Porque ella sólo vive en Anhedonia
Because she only lives in Anhedonia
Ella hizo un pacto de sangre
She made a blood pact
A pesar de mí
Despite me
No tengo que hacer, no dejas, no tengo nada
I have nothing to do, you don't let me, I have nothing
Nada más que a mí
Nothing but me
Aah
Aah
Sangre en la calle, calle
Blood on the street, street
Aah
Aah
No hay que vivir así
You shouldn't have to live like this
Porque antes que tu madre
Because before your mother
Mucho antes que el dolor
Long before the pain
El amor cambia tu sangre
Love changes your blood
Porque la noche es tan suave
Because the night is so gentle
Y el tiempo feliz
And the time is joyful
No tengo que hacer maletas, no siento nada
I don't have to pack my bags, I feel nothing
