Si es como dices, ¿qué haces aquí?
If it's as you say, what are you doing here?
Envenenando este mes de abril
Poisoning this month of April
Con ese cuerpo de alambre que
With that wire-like body that
No es sombra ni de lo que fue
Isn't even a shadow of what it was
Si lo has dejado, ¿qué haces aquí?
If you've left it behind, what are you doing here?
Como una rosa rota en la basura
Like a broken rose in the trash
¿Por qué me miras así?, ¿a quién le quieres mentir?
Why do you look at me like that? Who are you trying to deceive?
Tienes los ojos llenos de agonía
Your eyes are filled with agony
Te daré cobijo, te daré
I'll give you shelter, I'll give you
Calor, por ti mi pajarillo herido pintaré
Heat, for you my wounded little bird I will paint
De rosa la melancolía
The melancholy dressed in pink
Por favor, no digas que estás bien
Please, don't say that you're fine
Barco a la deriva que
A drifting ship that
Se hunde un poco cada día
Sinks a little more each day
Barco a la deriva que
A drifting ship that
No quiere ver el faro, no
Doesn't want to see the lighthouse, no
Barco a la deriva que
A drifting ship that
Se hunde un poco cada día
Sinks a little more each day
Barco a la deriva que
A drifting ship that
No puede ver el faro que le guía
Can't see the guiding lighthouse
Si en plena lava bajo el volcán
If in the molten lava beneath the volcano
Siguen brotando las más bellas flores
The most beautiful flowers keep blooming
¿Por qué no puedes cortar los hilos del espiral
Why can't you cut the threads of the spiral
Que van metiéndote vidrio en las venas?
That are embedding glass into your veins?
No, ya no te voy abandonar
No, I won't abandon you anymore
Saldrás de aquí, mi cervatillo herido, no podré
You'll get out of here, my wounded fawn, I can't
Dormir mientras estés hundida
Sleep while you're sinking
Por favor no digas que estás bien
Please don't say that you're okay
Barco a la deriva que
A drifting boat that
Se hunde un poco cada día
Sinks a little more each day
Barco a la deriva que
Drifting boat that
No quiere ver el faro, no
Doesn't want to see the lighthouse, no
Barco a la deriva que
Drifting boat that
Se hunde un poco cada día
Sinks a bit more every day
Barco a la deriva que
Drifting boat that
No puede ver el faro que le guía
Cannot see the guiding lighthouse
(No tengas miedo nunca más)

(Sabes que no te voy abandonar)
(You know I won't abandon you)
(No tengas miedo nunca más)

¡Ay, muchachita! no llores más
Oh, little girl! don't cry anymore
Sabes que no te voy abandonar, jamás (no tengas miedo nunca más)
You know I will never leave you, never (don't be afraid anymore)
(Sabes que no te voy abandonar)
(You know I will never leave you)
(No tengas miedo nunca más)

No tengas miedo
Don't be afraid
Tú sabes cuánto te quiero
You know how much I love you
(No tengas miedo nunca más) tú ves

(Yo no te voy)

(Yo no te voy a abandonar y no te voy)
(I will not abandon you and I won't leave you)
Sabes que en buenas y malas voy estar aquí por ti
You know that in good times and bad, I'll be here for you
Llegó la hora de decidir
The time has come to decide
(Yo no te voy)
(I'm not going to leave you)
(Yo no te voy)
(I'm not going to leave you)
(Yo no te voy a abandonar y no te voy)
(I'm not going to abandon you and I'm not going)
¡Ay!, si te quedas, si te vas
Oh!, if you stay, if you go
Ay, nena, dime, dime ¿dónde estás? Tú ves
Oh, baby, tell me, tell me where you are? You see
Que necesito saber
That I need to know
Qué es lo que vamos hacer, ven, ven
What we're going to do, come, come
