Lago En El Cielo Lyrics in English Gustavo Cerati

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Lago En El Cielo by Gustavo Cerati from Spanish to English.
Verse 1
A lake in the sky
I want to be gentle
To avoid your hardness
Verse 1
I extinguish your fire
Turn on my water
Verse 1
There might not be certainties
Chorus 1
Let's go slowly
To find ourselves
Chorus 1
Time is sand in my hands
I know by your marks
How much you have loved
Chorus 1
More than what you promised
Verse 2
Today I hurried you
I was so sensitive
Verse 2
They are mirages that increase the thirst
If I moved ahead don't mind me
Sometimes I can't handle the loneliness
Chorus 2
Let's go slowly
To find ourselves
Chorus 2
Time is sand in my hands
I know by your marks
How much you have left
Chorus 2
To forget what you did
To feel something that you never felt
Bridge
You are the most dreamed-of landscape
And you shook the most solid sorrows
And you answered every time that I have called you
Chorus 3
Let's go slowly
To find ourselves
Chorus 3
Time is sand in my hands
A lake in the sky
It's my gift
Chorus 3
To forget what you did
Something that you never felt
Something that you never felt

SONG MEANING

Imagine a crystal-clear lake suspended in the sky, a place where hurt can dissolve and new feelings can sparkle. In Lago En El Cielo Gustavo Cerati paints that dreamscape with poetic contrasts: water cools fire, softness meets hardness, and time slips away like sand through open fingers. The singer invites his partner to go slowly so they can truly find each other, leaving behind the mirages of past pain and the loneliness that sometimes rushes him forward.

Cerati’s gift of “a lake in the sky” is a metaphor for healing love. It is a refuge where old mistakes sink to the bottom and sensations never felt before rise to the surface. By recognizing the marks of how deeply the other has loved and lost, he offers a gentle promise: together they can shake off even the most solid sadness and answer every call for connection. The song is a tender, atmospheric celebration of taking things at the right pace, trusting vulnerability, and creating a brand-new emotional landscape where both can finally breathe easy.
