Lyrics of El Espacio - Café Tacvba

El Espacio (original)

De pronto me encontre viajando a gran velocidad
la atmosfera cruse y deje de sentir la gravedad
en instantes me perdi entre tanto astro fugaz…
…Entonces comenze a estallar
todo mi cuerpo era una explosion
luces y carbones brotaban de mi.
Por un momento me olvide de mi
y por un largo rato senti calor
hoy me miro a la orilla del mar.
Yo estaba acostado
mirando el espacio exterior
y estaba pensando
en lo diminuto que era yo.
Y no pienso regresar
aqui es donde debo estar
no me preguntes
no me preguntes porque
no me preguntes porque no lo se.
Estoy resplandeciendo en mi explosion
millones de pedazos me vuelvo yo
me supernovo con rapidez
Por un momento me olvidé de mí
Y por un largo rato sentí calor
Hoy me miro a la orilla del mar
Y estoy acostado
Mirando el espacio exterior
Y estoy pensando en lo diminuto que era yo
Y no pienso regresar
Aquí es donde yo nací
No me preguntes…

(translation)

Suddenly I found myself traveling at high speed
the atmosphere crossed and I stopped feeling gravity
In moments I got lost among so many shooting stars...
…Then I started to burst
my whole body was an explosion
lights and coals sprouted from me.
For a moment I forgot about myself
and for a long time I felt hot
Today I look at myself by the sea.
i was lying down
looking at outer space
and i was thinking
how tiny I was.
And I don't plan to return
this is where i should be
Do not ask me
dont ask me why
don't ask me because I don't know.
I'm glowing in my blast
million pieces I become
I supernova quickly
For a moment I forgot myself
And for a long time I felt hot
Today I look at myself by the sea
and i'm lying down
looking at outer space
And I'm thinking how tiny I was
And I don't plan to return
This is where I was born
Do not ask me…
