Todo el mundo en la ciudad
Everyone in the city
Es un suicida
Is a suicide
Es un suicida
Is a suicide
Y es la verdad
And that's the truth
Todo el mundo en la ciudad
Everyone in the city
Es un suicida
Is a suicide
Tiene una herida
Carries a wound
Es la verdad
That's the truth
Quisiera ver ese mar al amanecer
I wish to see that sea at dawn
Preciso tiempo para crecer
I need time to grow
Quisiera ver ese mar y veo esta pared
I wish I could see that sea, but I see this wall
Yo ya no sé qué hacer
I no longer know what to do
Todo gato en la ciudad
Every cat in the city
Tiene mil vidas
Has a thousand lives
Tiene mil vidas
Has a thousand lives
Y es la verdad
And that's the truth
Todo el mundo sabe bien
Everyone knows well
Que no hay salida
That there's no way out
Somos suicidas
We are suicidal
Y es la verdad
And that's the truth
Pero si vas hacia el mar al amanecer
But if you head to the sea at dawn
Quizás extrañes a la pared
Maybe you'll miss the wall
Somos estatuas de sal, queremos volver
We are statues of salt, we want to return
Yo ya no miro atrás, ya no queda mucho más
I no longer look back, there’s not much left
Ahora no pregunto más: ¿a dónde está la estrada?
Now I don’t ask anymore: where is the road?
Ahora ya no espero más aquella madrugada
Now I don’t wait anymore for that early morning
