Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Tabu by Gustavo Cerati from Spanish to English.
Cerca del nuevo fin
Near the new end
Tabú, fuego y dolor
Taboo, fire, and pain
La selva se abrió a mis pies
The jungle opened at my feet
Y por ti, tuve el valor
And for you, I had the courage
Al ánimo de brillar
To the spirit of shining
La luz se adelantó
The light moved forward
Trepando montañas fui
Climbing mountains I went
Y perdí la tentación
And I lost the temptation
Lo hice por ti
I did it for you
Tuve el valor
I had the courage
Corrí hasta alcanzarte
I ran to reach you
Y vencí la sórdida sed
And I overcame the sordid thirst
En la alquimia salvaje
In the wild alchemy
De tus labios oro rubí
Of your lips, gold ruby
Lo hice por ti
I did it for you
Tuve el valor
I had the courage
