Lyrics

Si volviera el amor,
Si tuviera un hermano, un amigo, un sueño en la mano,
Moriria ese dolor
De buscar el calor en el cruel laberinto
de este vaso de alcohol,
De estas calles sin sol
Si tuviera ilusiones
Si existieran razones, locuras, mentiras, pasiones
No habria necesidad
De pasarme por horas bebiendo cantimploras
De esta vil soledad
De esta eterna ansiedad
Coro:
Si pudiera borrarme
Esos viejos recuerdos
Que como viles cuervos
Arrancan ya mis ojos
Dejando mis despojos
Entre historias hirientes
Igual de indeferentes
Si te hubieras quedado
si me hubieras pedido que quemara el sonido
de ese viejo pasado
no estaria aqui metido ahogando mis entrañas
arañando el olvido
inconcluso y perdido
Cuando tenga la suerte
De encontrarme a la muerte
Yo le voy a ofrecer
Todo el tiempo vivido
Y este vaso henchido por un distante instante
Un instante de olvido
Si volviera el amor
Si tuviera un hermano un amigo
Un sueño en la mano
Moriria ese dolor
De buscar el calor en el cruel laberinto
De este baso de alcohol
De estas calles sin sol

Lyrics translation

If Love came back,
If I had a brother, a friend, a dream in my hand,
That pain would die
From looking for heat in the cruel maze
from this glass of alcohol,
From these Sunless streets
If I had illusions
If there were reasons, insanity, lies, passions
There would be no need
To spend hours drinking canteens
From this vile loneliness
Of this eternal anxiety
Choir:
If I could erase myself
Those old memories
That like Vile Crows
Rip my eyes out
Leaving my spoils
Between hurtful stories
Equally indifferent
If you'd stayed
if you'd asked me to burn the sound
from that old past
I wouldn't be in here choking my guts out.
scratching oblivion
unfinished and lost
When I'm lucky
To find me to death
I'll offer you
All the time lived
And this glass filled for a distant instant
A moment of oblivion
If Love came back
If I had a brother a friend
A dream in the hand
That pain would die
From looking for heat in the cruel maze
Of this alcohol base
From these Sunless streets
