Lyrics
All am a una mujer terrilblellorando por el humo siempreternode aquella
ciudad acorraladapor smbolos de invierno.
All aprend a quitar con piel el fro
y echar luego mi cuerpo a la llovizna,
en manos de la niebla dura y blanca,
en calles del enigma.
Eso no est muerto,
no me lo mataron
ni con la distancia
ni con el vil soldado.
All entre los cerros, tuve amigos
que entre bombas de humo eran hermanos.
All yo tuve ms de cuatro cosas
que siempre he deseado.
All nuestra cancin se hizo pequea
entre la multitud desesperada:
un poderoso canto de la tierra
era quien ms cantaba.
Eso no est muerto,
no me lo mataron
ni con la distancia
ni con el vil soldado.
Hasta all me segui, como una sombra,
el rosto del que ya no se veia,
y en el odo me susurr la muerte
que ya aparecera.
All yo tuve un odio, una vergenza:
nios mendigos de la madrugada,
y el deseo de cambiar cada cuerda
por un saco de balas.
Eso no est muerto,
no me lo mataron
ni con la distancia
ni con el vil soldado.
Lyrics translation
All am to a woman screaming through the smoke forever of that
city cornered by winter symbols.
All learn to remove with fur the fro
and then throw my body into the rain,
in the hands of the hard white fog,
in Riddle streets.
That's not dead.,
they didn't kill me.
nor with the distance
not even with the vile soldier.
All between the hills, I had friends
that between smoke bombs were brothers.
All I had more than four things
that I've always wanted.
All our cancin became small
among the desperate crowd:
a powerful song of the Earth
he was the one who sang.
That's not dead.,
they didn't kill me.
nor with the distance
not even with the vile soldier.
Even all followed me, like a shadow,
the face you no longer saw,
and in the odo I whisper death
let him show up.
All I had a hatred, a vergenza:
children beggars of the early morning,
and the desire to change each string
for a bag of bullets.
That's not dead.,
they didn't kill me.
nor with the distance
not even with the vile soldier.
