Lyrics

Detrás de los latidos secos que deja el reloj,
detrás de esa sonrisa a media asta y sin color,
detrás de los amigos y del humo a contraluz,
detrás de los espejos y las sombras estás tú.
Detrás de las pisadas de los que vienen y van,
detrás de un calendario que adelanta marcha atrás,
detrás de cada foto, de su cara y de su cruz,
detrás de la prisión de mis nocturnos estás tú.
Y por más que me digo mil veces
que debo seguir y vivir,
y por más que reniego tu nombre
no puedo librarme de ti…
Porque estás en las canciones,
en las costuras de mi cuerpo, en los colores,
en otros labios y otros besos, en poemas
que me recuerdan que no estás,
en los silencios que de noche gritan en mi soledad.
En las mañanas,
siempre desnuda de tu olor,
en las ventanas cerradas a este corazón,
en estas alas que ya no vuelan hacia el sur…
detrás de todo,
detrás no hay nada más que tú.
Detrás de cada esquina de esta fría y gran ciudad,
detrás de ese teléfono que se olvidó de hablar,
detrás de las tormentas, de la calma y la quietud,
detrás de otros gestos y otras voces estás tú.
Detrás de cada abrazo que hace despertar mi piel,
detrás de cada carta que escribí y que quemé,
detrás del negro cielo, el blanco invierno, el mar azul, detrás de cada día y cada noche ahí estás tú.
Y por más que me digo mil veces
que debo seguir y vivir,
y por más que reniego tu nombre
no puedo librarme de ti…
Porque estás en las canciones…

Lyrics translation

Behind the dry beats that leaves the clock,
behind that half-mast smile and no color,
behind friends and backlight smoke,
behind the mirrors and the shadows is you.
Behind the footsteps of those who come and go,
behind a calendar that advances reverse,
behind each photo, his face and his cross,
behind the prison of my Nocturnes is you.
And as much as I tell myself a thousand times
that I must follow and live,
and as much as I deny your name
I can't get rid of you…
Because you're in the songs,
in the seams of my body, in the colors,
on other lips and other kisses, in poems
that remind me you're not,
in the silences that cry at night in my solitude.
In the mornings,
always naked from your scent,
in the windows closed to this heart,
on these wings that no longer fly to the South…
behind everything,
there's nothing behind it but you.
Behind every corner of this cold, big city,
behind that phone he forgot to talk,
behind the storms, the calm and stillness,
behind other gestures and other voices is you.
Behind every hug that makes my skin wake up,
behind every letter I wrote and burned,
behind the Black Sky, the white winter, the blue sea, behind every day and every night there you are.
And as much as I tell myself a thousand times
that I must follow and live,
and as much as I deny your name
I can't get rid of you…
Because you're in the songs…
