Translation of the song lyrics Más Arriba - Najwa

Más Arriba (original)

Crees que con ese elevator
Amortiguarás la caída
Crees que con ese elevator
Amortiguarás la caída
Y llegaron los tullidos
A robar tus ilusiones
A quitarte los balones
Disfrazados de matones
Empezaron cimentando
Y seguieron construyendo
Pa' alejarse de este mundo
Aunque estén huyendo
Empezaron cimentando
Y seguieron construyendo
Pa' alejarse de este mundo
Aunque estén huyendo
Más arriba
Aunque estén huyendo
Más arriba, más arriba, más arriba
Crees que con ese elevator
Amortiguarás la caída
Crees que con ese elevator
Amortiguarás la caída
Así poder estar a salvo
En un cielo improvisado
Pa' evitar que nos arrollen
Todos los desheredados
Que llegaron en pateras
Pa' vendernos las playeras
Pa' limpiar las cristaleras
Y pa' hacernos de niñeras
Que llegaron en pateras
Pa' vendernos las playeras
Pa' limpiar las cristaleras
Y pa' hacernos de niñeras
Aunque estén huyendo
Más arriba, más arriba, más arriba
Crees que con ese elevator
Amortiguarás la caída
Crees que con ese elevator
Amortiguarás la caída
Crees que con ese elevator
Amortigua-amortigua
Crees que con ese elevator
Amortigua-amortigua
(Más arriba)
Eso es lo que yo decía
Esa es la epifanía
Sigue la dicotomía
Mientras compras alegría
Tú que sabes que en un día alguien borrará
Todo rastro de porquería
Solo espero para entonces seguir viva
Habermelo robado todo
Y entregarme
A la policía
Más arriba
Más arriba, más arriba, más arriba
A la policía
Más arriba
(Más arriba, más arriba, más arriba)
Crees que con ese elevator
Amortiguarás la caída
Crees que con ese elevator
Amortiguarás la caída
Crees que con ese elevator
Amortiguarás la caída
Crees que con ese elevator
Amortiguarás la caída
(Más arriba, más arriba, más arriba)
Amortigua-amortigua
(Más arriba, más arriba, más arriba)
Amortigua-amortigua
(Más arriba, más arriba, más arriba)
Amortigua-amortigua
(Más arriba, más arriba, más arriba)
Amortigua-amortigua

Más Arriba (translation)

Do you believe that elevator, austere and pale,
Will cradle your fall as feathers cradle snow?
Do you believe that elevator, austere and pale,
Will cradle your fall as feathers cradle snow?
Then came the palsied hosts,
To pilfer every dream you secreted in velvet chests,
To filch away your painted spheres—
Clad as wolves, masquerading in borrowed rage,
They began with the keystone, setting stone in midnight mortar,
And spanned the air with arches, brick by brick,
To abscond beyond the reach of earth’s din,
Though every stone whispered of flight and flight,
They began with the keystone, setting stone in midnight mortar,
And spanned the air with arches, brick by brick,
To abscond beyond the reach of earth’s din,
Though every stone whispered of flight and flight,
Higher still, in the ether’s pale cathedral,
Though every stone whispered of flight and flight,
Farther, higher, swelling to the stratosphere,
Do you believe that elevator, austere and pale,
Will cradle your fall as feathers cradle snow?
Do you believe that elevator, austere and pale,
Will cradle your fall as feathers cradle snow?
Thus you dream of sanctuary—
In a sky cobbled together from longing and haste,
To keep at bay the chariot wheels
Of all the world’s disinherited daughters,
Arriving on rust-caked hulls—
To barter us shirts spun from their afternoons,
To polish our crystalline barriers,
And to cradle our children in the hush before dawn,
Arriving on rust-caked hulls—
To barter us shirts spun from their afternoons,
To polish our crystalline barriers,
And to cradle our children in the hush before dawn,
Though every stone whispered of flight and flight,
Farther, higher, swelling to the stratosphere,
Do you believe that elevator, austere and pale,
Will cradle your fall as feathers cradle snow?
Do you believe that elevator, austere and pale,
Will cradle your fall as feathers cradle snow?
Do you believe that elevator,
Softens—softens the plummet’s ache?
Do you believe that elevator,
Softens—softens the plummet’s ache?
(Farther, higher, swelling to the stratosphere)
That was the warning I once uttered,
That is the sudden blaze of truth,
The rift persists—unhealed,
While you purchase your fragments of gladness,
You, who know a day will come when hands erase
All vestiges of this filth,
I can only pray that I endure until then,
Having stolen away all that was not chained,
And offering myself—
To the constable’s midnight arms,
Higher still, in the ether’s pale cathedral,
Farther, higher, swelling to the stratosphere,
To the constable’s midnight arms,
Higher still, in the ether’s pale cathedral,
(Farther, higher, swelling to the stratosphere)
Do you believe that elevator, austere and pale,
Will cradle your fall as feathers cradle snow?
Do you believe that elevator, austere and pale,
Will cradle your fall as feathers cradle snow?
Do you believe that elevator, austere and pale,
Will cradle your fall as feathers cradle snow?
Do you believe that elevator, austere and pale,
Will cradle your fall as feathers cradle snow?
(Farther, higher, swelling to the stratosphere)
Softens—softens the plummet’s ache?
(Farther, higher, swelling to the stratosphere)
Softens—softens the plummet’s ache?
(Farther, higher, swelling to the stratosphere)
Softens—softens the plummet’s ache?
(Farther, higher, swelling to the stratosphere)
Softens—softens the plummet’s ache?
