Lyrics
Miguel
їde qu color es la temperatura?
їa cuntos grados funde, la ternura,
la piel?
Miguel.
їCmo se miden las eternas dudas?
їCmo se cantan las canciones mudas
Miguel?
Ya ves,
cuntas preguntas quedan en el aire;
cuntas respuestas que no sabe nadie…
y ya no ests para contestarme.
Miguel…
duele tu ausencia como no saba
que iba a dolerme tanto desde el da aquel…
que por andar mirando las estrellas,
la mas brillante te llev con ella,
gira, girando en su carrusel.
Se me derrumba el alma entre los versos,
se hace pedazos contra los recuerdos,
como si fuera entera de papel.
II Miguel…
їQu peso tiene la melancola?
їA qu distancia queda la alegra
de ser?
Miguel…
їPor qu la luz que siempre ms alumbra
es la que brilla, pero no deslumbra
Miguel?
Ya ves,
sigo en tinieblas sin poder zafarme,
con tantas cosas para preguntarte
y ya no ests para contestarme.
Miguel,
si me parece verte todava,
a pleno sol, en pleno mediodia,
Miguel,
Siempre de frente izando la bandera
de tu verdad por dura que ella fuera
en esta absurda torre de Babel.
Ya que la muerte me pas de largo
canto en la tuya el canto ms amargo
que es mi manera de llorar Miguel.
Lyrics translation
Michael
what color is the temperature?
at every degree melts, tenderness,
the skin?
Michael.
how are eternal doubts measured?
how are silent songs sung
Miguel?
You see,
questions remain in the air;
questions no one knows…
and you're not answering me anymore.
Michael…
it hurts your absence like you don't know
that I was going to hurt so much since the da that…
that by looking at the stars,
the brightest takes you with her,
he's spinning, spinning on his Carousel.
My soul collapses between the verses,
it breaks up against memories,
like it's all made of paper.
II Miguel…
what weight does melancholy have?
how far away is joy
to be?
Michael…
why the light that always shines
it's the one that shines, but it doesn't dazzle
Miguel?
You see,
I'm still in the dark, I can't get out.,
with so many things to ask you
and you're not answering me anymore.
Michael,
if I seem to see you yet,
in full sun, in full noon,
Michael,
Always front raising the flag
of your truth no matter how hard she was
in this absurd Tower Of Babel.
Since Death me no longer
singing in yours the most bitter song
which is my way of crying Miguel.
