Un Zombie A La Intemperie Lyrics in English Alejandro Sanz

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Un Zombie A La Intemperie by Alejandro Sanz from Spanish to English.
I was the confidant of your drawer
I was the one that whispered
To that dragon
I got an explorer license
I built some wings
I looked for a balcony
I took off happy to the east
It looks so sky blue
The farther away I am, the happier
I dropped my guard so much, the temptation that
I ended up confusing madness
With courage
Sleeping out in the open
With no roofs or walls
Alone in solitude and without you, just me
Chorus 1
For you, I came back for you
But I didn't see you
Chorus 1
If you're not here, I'm just a zombie out in the open
You, I went to look for you
Now the dragon laughs at me
I'm not good at exploring
Without you I'm just a zombie
Without you, to die for you
But I didn't see you
Chorus 1
If you're not here, I'm just a zombie out in the open
Without you, I went to look for you
Now the dragon laughs at me
I'm not good at exploring
Without you I'm just a zombie
Verse 1
Don't worry anymore, there's no reason
What you say doesn't matter to me
Only your voice
Verse 1
Mirrors always want to be more than God
While we look together
Salvation
Verse 1
I know, I know, I've messed up again
I know, I know that I don't deserve another chance
And when you close that door what you find is your heavenly magic
It makes me so happy to see you
Seeing you
Is all that makes me happy
Verse 1
And nobody should fix it
Chorus 2
For you, I came back for you
But I didn't see you
Chorus 2
If you're not here, I'm just a zombie out in the open
Without you I went to look for you
And now the dragon laughs at me
I'm not good at exploring
Without you I'm just a zombie
I came back and in coming back I lost
But not because of you
It's not you
It's that I'm a zombie even if I comb my hair
Chorus 2
Without you I went to look for you
Now the dragon laughs at me
I'm not good at exploring
Without you I'm just a zombie
I'm just a zombie
I'm just a zombie
I'm just a zombie

SONG MEANING

Un Zombie a la Intemperie paints the picture of a fearless dreamer who, after losing his partner, discovers that courage without love quickly turns into emptiness. He once felt like a heroic explorer, whispering to dragons, building wings, and leaping from balconies toward an endless blue sky. Yet the farther he flew from his lover, the more he confused madness for bravery. When reality hits, he is left exposed to the elements—no roof, no walls, only loneliness—realizing that without her he is just a zombie roaming in the open air.

The “dragon” is the mocking voice of doubt telling him he is nothing on his own, while the repeated line “sin ti soy sólo un zombie” underscores how love is his life force. Even after admitting his mistakes and unworthiness of a second chance, simply seeing her sparks a glimmer of happiness. Ultimately, the song is a bittersweet confession: bold adventures and grand gestures mean little if the heart that inspired them is gone. Alejandro Sanz blends poetic imagery with raw emotion, turning unrequited love into an anthem for anyone who has ever felt alive only in the presence of someone else.
