Lyrics of Respirar - Miguel Bose

Respirar (original)

Sé de animales que habitan aguas profundas
y que devoran lo que su canto seduce.
Reinos perdidos en tiempos lejanos
en los que a nada ningún destino conduce.
Bosques inmensos esconden criaturas
que aúllan y que cabalgan enormes serpientes.
Múltiples soles convergen y en su cuadratura
toda memoria se pierde.
Y todo está a un solo paso de aquí.
Y vivo en mí.
Sin aliento, suspendido,
y no sé, qué me niega de repente
la palabra, el aire, el sueño, hasta la vida.
Y no me deja respirar, y,
y no me deja respirar, y,
Uh.
Uh.
Humo de incienso especiado, dulce e intenso,
perfuma cuentos de mil y una noche.
Mientras la liebre se afana y amaga entre arbustos
puede lo que a otra liebre le importe.
Monstruos de crestas feroces surcando mares
y alzando olas de espuma gigantes.
Luchan contra legiones dragones de fuego
y armadas de ciento-un leviatanes.
Y todo está a un solo paso de aquí.
Y todo está a un solo paso de aquí.
Y vivo en mí.
Sin aliento, suspendido,
y no sé, qué me niega de repente
la palabra, el aire, el sueño, hasta la vida.
Y no me deja respirar, y,
y no me deja respirar, y,
y heme aquí como ausente como ido,
y no sé, qué me inhibe el pensamiento
el movimiento por muy fuerte tira el viento.
Y no me deja respirar, y,
y no me deja respirar, y,
Tú.
Y no me deja respirar, y,
y no me deja respirar, y,
Tú.
Y no me deja respirar, y,
Y no me deja respirar, y,
y no me deja respirar, y,
Tú.
Y no me deja respirar, y…

(translation)

I know of animals that live in deep waters
and that devour what their song seduces.
Kingdoms lost in distant times
in which no destination leads to anything.
Immense forests hide creatures
who howl and who ride enormous serpents.
Multiple suns converge and square
all memory is lost.
And everything is just one step away from here.
And I live in me.
Breathless, suspended,
and I don't know, what suddenly denies me
the word, the air, the dream, even life.
And it won't let me breathe, and,
and it doesn't let me breathe, and,
uh.
uh.
Spicy incense smoke, sweet and intense,
perfumes tales of a thousand and one nights.
While the hare toils and feints in the bushes
he can what another hare cares.
Fierce crested monsters sailing seas
and raising giant waves of foam.
They fight against legions of fire dragons
and armies of a hundred-one leviathans.
And everything is just one step away from here.
And everything is just one step away from here.
And I live in me.
Breathless, suspended,
and I don't know, what suddenly denies me
the word, the air, the dream, even life.
And it won't let me breathe, and,
and it doesn't let me breathe, and,
and here I am as absent as gone,
and I don't know, what inhibits my thinking
the movement no matter how strong the wind pulls.
And it won't let me breathe, and,
and it doesn't let me breathe, and,
You.
And it won't let me breathe, and,
and it doesn't let me breathe, and,
You.
And it won't let me breathe, and,
And it won't let me breathe, and,
and it doesn't let me breathe, and,
You.
And it doesn't let me breathe, and...
