| El universo se me derrumbó
| The universe collapsed on me
|
| Por un instante demasiado largo
| For a moment too long
|
| Pensé que lo mejor era el letargo
| I thought the best was lethargy
|
| De los cipreses de Van Gogh
| Of Van Gogh's Cypresses
|
| Y me tomé un buen trago de Cointreau
| And I had a nice shot of Cointreau
|
| Para endulzar aquel bocado amargo
| To sweeten that bitter bite
|
| Pero de pronto sucedió
| But suddenly it happened
|
| Que la memoria como por encargo
| That memory as custom
|
| Se puso en marcha y disparó
| He got going and shot
|
| Alguna ráfaga de sol
| some burst of sun
|
| 'Don't give up, 'cause somewhere there’s a place'
| 'Don't give up, 'cause somewhere there's a place'
|
| Decía la dulce voz de Kate
| Said the sweet voice of Kate
|
| Calmando mi desesperación
| Calming my despair
|
| Amigo, te debo esta canción
| Dude I owe you this song
|
| Te debo esta canción…
| I owe you this song...
|
| Dear Peter I owe you this song…
| Dear Peter I owe you this song…
|
| Y casi como una revelación
| And almost like a revelation
|
| Lo que antes era obscuro se hizo claro
| What was previously dark became clear
|
| La voz de Kate lucía como un faro
| Kate's voice shone like a beacon
|
| En el umbral de mi apagón
| On the threshold of my blackout
|
| Se apoderó de mi la decisión
| The decision took hold of me
|
| De combatir de frente el desamparo
| To fight helplessness head-on
|
| Y proclamar la revelión de no seguir pasando por el lado
| And proclaim the revelation of not passing by the side
|
| De la maldita maratón
| of the damn marathon
|
| Que solo lleva a la traición
| That only leads to betrayal
|
| 'Don't give up 'cause somewhere there’s a place'
| 'Don't give up 'cause somewhere there's a place'
|
| Decía la dulce voz de Kate
| Said the sweet voice of Kate
|
| Calmando mi desesperación
| Calming my despair
|
| Amigo, te debo esta canción
| Dude I owe you this song
|
| Te debo esta canción…
| I owe you this song...
|
| Dear Peter I owe you this song…
| Dear Peter I owe you this song…
|
| La voz que me animaba en tu canción
| The voice that encouraged me in your song
|
| Se convirtió en mi pan de cada día
| It became my daily bread
|
| Fue el único alimento que comía
| It was the only food I ate
|
| Para vencer mi rendición
| To overcome my surrender
|
| Pero escondido tras aquella voz
| But hidden behind that voice
|
| Amigo tú eras quien me repetía
| Friend you were the one who repeated me
|
| Vivir es resistir la coz interna de tu propia cobardía
| To live is to resist the inner coz of your own cowardice
|
| Que, con la dama de la hoz
| What, with the lady with the sickle
|
| Es tu enemiga más feroz
| She is your fiercest enemy
|
| 'Don't give up you know were we belong'
| 'Don't give up you know we were behind'
|
| Resiste que aun queda el corazón
| Resist that the heart still remains
|
| Amigo, te debo esta canción
| Dude I owe you this song
|
| Dear Peter I owe you this song
| Dear Peter I owe you this song
|
| Te debo esta canción
| I owe you this song
|
| Dear Peter I owe you this song
| Dear Peter I owe you this song
|
| Dear Peter I owe you this song
| Dear Peter I owe you this song
|
| Dear Peter I owe you this song
| Dear Peter I owe you this song
|
| I owe you this song
| I owe you this song
|
| I owe you this song
| I owe you this song
|
| Te debo esta canción
| I owe you this song
|
| I owe you this song
| I owe you this song
|
| Dear Peter I owe you this song
| Dear Peter I owe you this song
|
| I owe you this song… | I owe you this song… |
