Miro al techo que hoy ha vuelto a gotear
I look at the ceiling that has leaked again today
Hacía tiempo que no llovía así
It's been a while since it rained like this
Y cada gota golpeando contra los cacharros de metal
And every drop hitting against the metal pots
Me hace pensar unas veces en sangre y otras veces en ti
It makes me think sometimes of blood and other times of you
Lo que en realidad viene a ser lo mismo
Which actually amounts to the same thing
Lo que, por crueldad, ahora viene a dar igual
Which, out of cruelty, now doesn't matter
O puede ser un ángel que una vez perdió la fe y fue
Or it may be an angel who once lost faith and was
Expulsado, y que ha venido a agonizar justo encima de mi
Expelled, and who has come to die right above me
Hogar y estas gotas sean sus lágrimas
Home and these drops be your tears
O puede que sea hora de entrar ya en razón
Or maybe it's time to come to your senses now
Y llegar a comprender que dentro de este horror no hay
And come to understand that within this horror there is no
Literatura, no, y eso tú lo sabes bien a fuerza de caer una
Literature, no, and you know that well by dint of falling a
Y otra vez en una trampa mortal que en el tiempo dura ya
And again in a mortal trap that lasts in time
Ocho años y medio. Seré muy breve: Te quiero, y esto duele
Eight and a half years. I will be very brief: I love you, and this hurts
Y vino un pájaro a posarse en mi ventana
And a bird came to perch on my window
Tenía una ala rota, su plumaje era gris y azul
It had a broken wing, its plumage was gray and blue
Y al acercar mi mano y comprobar que no, no echaba a volar
And when I put my hand closer and verified that no, it didn't start to fly
Supe de inmediato que lo enviabas tú
I knew immediately that you sent it
Lo tomé entre mis garras y lo dejé morir
I took him in my clutches and let him die
Y cuando lo hizo aún llovía aquí
And when he did it it was still raining here
Y la sangre al gotear entre zarpas de animal presagió mi
And the blood dripping between animal paws foreshadowed my
Suerte, como una ave que voló de Madrid hacia Gijón aun herida de muerte
Luck, like a bird that flew from Madrid to Gijón still mortally wounded
Rescribiendo la espiral de prometer hacerlo bien
Rewriting the spiral of promising to do well
De cometer un nuevo error, de no saber pedir perdón o pedirlo
Of making a new mistake, of not knowing how to apologize or ask for it
Demasiadas veces
too many times
Y aunque ahora escupo una oración helado de terror ningún Dios
And although now I spit out a prayer frozen with terror no God
Responde aún
still respond
Soy yo el que no ve o es que todavía no se hizo la luz?
Am I the one who doesn't see or is it that the light hasn't come yet?
Seré muy breve: Te extraño, y esto duele
I will be very brief: I miss you, and this hurts
Trato de encontrar una salida
I try to find a way out
Pero no recuerdo ni por dónde hemos entrado aquí
But I don't even remember where we came in here
Y contemplo junto a mí el cadáver del que fui
And I contemplate next to me the corpse of which I was
Según tú, en una ocasión
According to you, on one occasion
Y es la mancha de humedad la de la herida mortal
And it is the stain of moisture that is the mortal wound
Impregnada en el colchón
Impregnated in the mattress
Y ahora que te oigo llorar en lugar de ir hacia ti
And now that I hear you cry instead of coming to you
Me vuelvo a anestesiar y me limito a subir el volumen
I anesthetize myself again and just turn up the volume
Del televisor
from the television
O me concentro en recordar, para no pensar en ti
Or I concentrate on remembering, so as not to think about you
Que tendría que llamar que alguien venga a reparar
I would have to call someone to come repair
La gotera de una puta vez, que ya cansé de recoger litros de
The fucking leak, I'm already tired of collecting liters of
Agua gris, gris como un metal
Gray water, gray like metal
Que un día relució y que ahora es suciedad
That one day it shined and that now it is dirt
Qué se hace para amar lo que quise despreciar ya una
What do you do to love what you already wanted to despise?
Y mil veces?
And a thousand times?
Seré bien breve: Te he perdido, y esto duele
I will be very brief: I have lost you, and this hurts
