lyrics

Light and Shadows


I used to survive the cruelty of light,
with dignity and even splendor.
But now the shadows wrap me in her halo,
They draw me with their charm.
They whisper sweet lies to me.

Compassionate halo,
pious before the decrepitude of the flesh.

what a deep sadness,
that of the children of the sun!
Its light, its loving light,
that once caressed my face
driving intrigues about ambitious and crazy dreams,
Today burns my face, it hurts me.
With the deepest contempt it hurts me,
without even noticing how much it hurts me.

And among the delirious flames of the imminent sunset,
Like furtive songs, your words reach me.
enchanting me, surrounding me,
and they make me believe with naive desires,
that maybe you even love me.

And I'm speechless
'Cause I'm still stuck
in a time full of infamies.
And in his sea of memories, of bad memories,
that poison the air I breathe with their deep sadness.
And this absurd fixation towards Nothingness.

Español :

Luz y sombras

Solía sobrevivir a la crueldad de la luz,
con dignidad y hasta con esplendor.
Pero ahora las sombras me envuelven en su halo,
me dibujan con su encanto.
Me susurran dulces mentiras.

Compasivo halo,
piadoso ante la decrepitud de la carne.

Qué tristeza más profunda la de los hijos del sol!
Su luz, su amante luz,
que antaño acariciaba mi rostro
impulsando intrigas sobre sueños ambiciosos y locos,
hoy quema mi rostro, lo lástima.
Con el desprecio más profundo me hiere,
sin siquiera notar cuánto me hiere.

Y entre las delirantes llamas del inminente ocaso,
como furtivos cantos, me llegan tus palabras.
Me hechizan, me envuelven,
y me hacen creer con ansias ingenuas,
que quizás hasta me quieras.

Y me quedo sin palabras,
porque aún me encuentro atrapada
en un tiempo lleno de infamias.
Y en su mar de recuerdos, de malos recuerdos,
que envenenan el aire que respiro con su profunda tristeza.
y ésta fijación absurda hacia la Nada.
