Lyrics

Desde la plaza de armas de un lugar cualquiera,
te escribo una carta para que túsepas
lo que ya sabías, aunque no lo dijeras.
Espero que llegue a tus manos y, que no la devuelvas.
Que pagues el rescate que abajo te indico.
Yo tampoco me explico, por quéno acudíantes a ti.
Pero nadie puede salvarme, nadie sabe lo que sabes,
y tampoco entregarían lo que vale mi rescate.
No hay dinero, ni castillos, ni avales, ni talonarios,
no hay en este mundo, -aunque parezca absurdo-,
ni en planetas por descubrir, lo que aquíte pido.
Y no te obligo a nada que no quieras.
Las fuerzas me fallan, mis piernas no responden;
te conocen, pero no llegan a ti.
Decidípor eso mismo, un mecanismo de defensa.
Y presa como estámi alma, con la calma suficiente,
ser más fuerte, y enfrentarme cuanto antes a la verdad,
sin dudar un segundo, lo asumo, sólo túpuedes pagar el rescate.
Devuélveme el amor que me arrebataste,
o entrégaselo, lo mismo me da, al abajo firmante;
pues no hay en este mundo, -aunque parezca absurdo-,
ni en planetas por descubrir, lo que aquíte pido.
Y no te obligo a nada que no quieras.
Las fuerzas me fallan, mis piernas no responden;
te conocen, pero no llegan a ti.
Y no te obligo a nada que no quieras.
Las fuerzas me fallan, mis piernas no responden;
te conocen, pero no llegan a ti.
(gracias a Iván por esta letra)

Lyrics translation

From the plaza de armas of any place,
I'm writing you a letter so you can cough
what you already knew, even if you didn't say it.
I hope it gets into your hands and you don't give it back.
Pay the ransom I'm telling you below.
I don't explain why you don't come to you either.
But no one can save me, no one knows what you know,
and they wouldn't deliver what my ransom is worth, either.
There is no money, no castles, no guarantees, no vouchers,
there is no in this world, -- though it may seem absurd-,
not on planets to be discovered, what I ask here.
And I'm not forcing you to do anything you don't want.
Forces fail me, my legs do not respond;
they know you, but they don't get to you.
For that reason, a defence mechanism.
And prey as is my soul, with enough calm,
be stronger, and face the truth as soon as possible,
without hesitation for a second, I assume, you can only pay the ransom.
Give me back the love you took from me,
or give it to him, the same goes for me, to the undersigned;
for there is none in this world, - though it may seem absurd-,
not on planets to be discovered, what I ask here.
And I'm not forcing you to do anything you don't want.
Forces fail me, my legs do not respond;
they know you, but they don't get to you.
And I'm not forcing you to do anything you don't want.
Forces fail me, my legs do not respond;
they know you, but they don't get to you.
(thanks to Ivan for this letter)
