Rompiendo mi promesa

De no volverte a ver ni en pintura
Not to see you again, not even in painting
Me he sentado a tu mesa
I have sat at your table
Virgen de la Amargura
Virgin of Bitterness
A jugarme a los dados nuestra suerte
To play dice our luck
A absolverte de todos mis pecados
To absolve you of all my sins
Bendigo la condena
I bless the condemnation
Al sólo de tu bordón que me hace fuerte
Just from your staff that makes me strong
Y beso tus cadenas, y quiero prometerte
And I kiss your chains, and I want to promise you
Ser libres como dos versos tachados
To be free like two crossed out verses
Del dictado de la revolución

Me acuso de morirte sin tu boca

Confieso que desde que te has marchado
I confess that since you left
Solo bailo en las fiestas donde tocan
I only dance at parties where they play
La musica del vals de los ahorcados
The music of the waltz of the hanged
Virgen de la Amarguara
Virgin of the Amarguara
Devuélveme la vida, sin tí todo es usura
Give me back my life, without you everything is usury
Y noches perdidas, facturas, calenturas
And lost nights, bills, fevers
Heridas sin sutura, caídas, congeturas
Wounds without sutures, falls, conjectures
Sacudidas, cerraduras
shakes, locks
Despedidas de locura y callejón
Farewells of madness and alley
La guerra ha terminado
The war is over
Yo vengo a arrodillarme ante tu cama
I come to kneel before your bed
Te rezan mil soldados
A thousand soldiers pray to you
Y el palacio está en llamas
And the palace is on fire
Tu general arría mis banderas

Las fieras entran en la catedral

El rey murió en el campo de batalla

La reina se ha pasado al enemigo

Yo no me cuelgo más que la medalla
I don't hang more than the medal
De no saber contar menos contigo

Devuélveme la vida, sin tí todo es usura

Caídas, congeturas, sacudidas, cerraduras

Te vas y no te vas

Y cuando vienes
And when you come
Rezo para que los trenes

Se equivoquen de estación
