The page contains the lyrics and English translation of the song "Cera Perdida" by Luis Eduardo Aute.
Lyrics
Parece ser que fuimos amasados
Con barro y una exhalación de amor
Que la criatura que hemos heredado
Fue la obra magna del Gran Escultor
Que al no poder mirarse en un espejo
Porque su máscara nunca existió
Quiso encarnar su esencia sin reflejo
Moldeando el alma que nos infundió
Pero seguimos ciegos
Queriendo ser moldes de yeso
Y muertos que imitan la vida
Apenas un gélido beso
A un resto de cera perdida
De cera perdida
De cera perdida
Perdida
Pero esa forma humana del deseo
Que no creyó que su alma era inmortal
Se conformó con ser sólo un trofeo
Y alzó su estatua sobre un pedestal
Y aún consciente de que en el vaciado
El bronce es solamente una aleación
Prefiere ser un mineral helado
Sin más virtud que la repetición
Y así seguimos ciegos
Queriendo ser moldes de yeso
Y muertos que imitan la vida
Apenas un gélido beso
A un resto de cera perdida
De cera perdida
De cera perdida
Perdida
Lyrics translation
Looks like we were kneaded.
With mud and an exhalation of love
That the creature we have inherited
It was the magna work of the great sculptor
That by not being able to look in a mirror
Because his mask never existed
He wanted to embody his essence without reflection
Molding the soul that infused us
But we're still blind
Wanting to be plaster molds
And dead imitating life
Just a frosty kiss
To a remnant of lost wax
Of lost wax
Of lost wax
Loss
But that human form of desire
Who did not believe that his soul was immortal
He was content to be just a trophy
And he lifted up his statue upon a pedestal
And still aware that in the emptying
Bronze is only an alloy
Prefer to be a frozen mineral
No more virtue than repetition
And so we remain blind
Wanting to be plaster molds
And dead imitating life
Just a frosty kiss
To a remnant of lost wax
Of lost wax
Of lost wax
Loss
