Lyrics
La estrella principal
rodópor la escalera
entre disparos de flash
en un reflejo fugaz
de los ochenta.
La entrada triunfal
y a la salida te llevan
a la parte de atrás
como las chicas
del servicio de limpieza.
Cuando te ven llorar
lágrimas al borde de tu boca
para justificar
lágrimas a punta de pistola.
En el backstage… hasta quedarte a solas
¿A que velocidad escapa
lo que damos por perdido,
lo que creíamos caído del cielo?
La estrella principal
ahuyenta los destinos compartidos
y estádispuesta a planear a ras del suelo
para justificar
lágrimas al borde de tu boca,
para disimular
lágrimas a punta de pistola.
Lyrics translation
The main star
rodopor the ladder
between flash shots
in a fleeting reflection
from the Eighties.
The triumphal entrance
and on the way out they take you
to the back
like the girls
from the cleaning service.
When they see you crying
tears at the edge of your mouth
to justify
tears at gunpoint.
Backstage ... until you're alone
How fast does it escape
what we take for granted,
what we thought fell from the sky?
The main star
drive away shared destinations
and she's willing to plan flush with the ground
to justify
tears at the edge of your mouth,
to conceal
tears at gunpoint.
