Me llaman el desaparecido
They call me the missing
Cuando llega ya se ha ido
By the time he arrives, he's gone
Volando vengo, volando voy
Flying I come, flying I'm going
De prisa de prisa a rumbo perdido
Hurrying haste to lost course
Cuando me buscan nunca estoy
When they look for me I'm never
Cuando me encuentran yo no soy
When they find me I'm not
Él que está enfrente porque ya
He's across the street because he's already
Me fui corriendo más allá
I ran past
Me dicen el desaparecido
They call me the missing
Fantasma que nunca está
Ghost who's never here
Me dicen el desagradecido
They call me the ungrateful
Pero esa no es la verdad
But that's not the truth
Yo llevo en el cuerpo un dolor
I carry a pain in my body
Que no me deja respirar
That won't let me breathe
Llevo en el cuerpo una condena
I carry a conviction in my body
Que siempre me echa a caminar
That always throws me for a walk
Me dicen el desaparecido
They call me the missing
Que cuando llega ya se ha ido
That by the time he arrives he's gone
Volando vengo, volando voy
Flying I come, flying I'm going
De prisa de prisa a rumbo perdido
Hurrying haste to lost course
Me dicen el desaparecido
They call me the missing
Fantasma que nunca está
Ghost who's never here
Me dicen el desagradecido
They call me the ungrateful
Pero esa no es la verdad
But that's not the truth
Yo llevo en el cuerpo un motor
I carry an engine in my body
Que nunca deja de rolar
Who never stops playing
Yo llevo en el alma un camino
I carry in my soul a path
Destinado a nunca llegar
Destined to never get there
Cuando me buscan nunca estoy
When they look for me I'm never
Cuando me encuentran yo no soy
When they find me I'm not
Él que está en frente porque ya
He who is in front because already
Me fui corriendo más allá
I ran past
Me llaman el desaparecido
They call me the missing
Cuando llega ya se ha ido
By the time he arrives, he's gone
Volando vengo, volando voy
Flying I come, flying I'm going
De prisa de prisa a rumbo perdido
Hurrying haste to lost course
