All night he's counting sheep'

Until they are lost in the light of day

Play with the nostalgia of seeing them go away

And not knowing if they return to their company

I already knew her, the crazy girl dances alone in that corner

And when she sees me she whistles melodies

She says that if the bad thing hits hard and leaves wounds

The heart transforms the song into its best lair

And although she doesn't want to darken me

She says that she is not good at luck

That the brew under her arm always accompanies her

And it is to shorten the period of her date with death

She walks the planet

She feels that something is missing, that she was not born complete

That no one ever knew how to love her up close

Maybe she has no face and is just a silhouette

She watch her how she dances, nobody wants to watch

When she dribbles through the storm

A drink for the fear of loneliness

A drink for fear of sobriety

no one wants to look

When she dribbles through the storm

When the night draws in she comes out to whisper

Staying so sane can hurt you

What I am going to do? ¿What am I gong to do?

Burning time with my lighter

What I am going to do? ¿What am I gong to do?

I chew the air while I wait for her

I only feel the cold of emptiness in my bed

She is not there

Now she has to wait for me

Counting sheep, counting sheep'

The crazy girl is no longer where she used to be

She sitting on that bench she liked to invent

Stories that she gave me to finish

I want to find her to tell her that I wrote them an ending

But they say that her being is fleeing

That she lost faith and she's sinking

I want to believe that she just left

To quench her thirst and she will be returning

Soon we will be seeing each other, and

I looked for youth on every trip

And she got lost in the loop of that street light, I know

You always have to believe in something

When life is burning you

She watch her how she dances, nobody wants to watch

When she dribbles through the storm

A drink for the fear of loneliness

A drink for fear of sobriety

no one wants to look

When she dribbles through the storm

When the night draws in she comes out to whisper

Staying so sane can hurt you

What I am going to do? ¿What am I gong to do?

Burning time with my lighter

What I am going to do? ¿What am I gong to do?

I chew the air while I wait for her

I only feel the cold of emptiness in my bed

She is not there

Now she has to wait for me

Counting sheep, counting sheep'

What I am going to do? ¿What am I gong to do?

Burning time with my lighter

What I am going to do? ¿What am I gong to do?

I chew the air while I wait for her

I looked for youth on every trip

And she got lost in the loop of that street light, I know

You always have to believe in something

When life is burning you

Wos brings us a story about a mysterious woman, a 'loca' [crazy woman] who dances alone and seems to be running from something. The song starts with the image of her 'contando ovejas' [counting sheep] all night, suggesting she's struggling with insomnia or deep thoughts. She's a bit of a wanderer, always searching for something, maybe even herself, as the lyrics say she feels 'que no nació completa' [that she wasn't born complete].

There's a real sense of loneliness and a coping mechanism in her actions. She 'gambetea entre la tempestad' [dribbles through the storm], moving through life's difficulties, and takes 'un trago por el miedo a la soledad' [a drink for the fear of loneliness] and 'un trago por el miedo a la sobriedad' [a drink for the fear of sobriety]. The narrator is clearly captivated by her, waiting for her, and wondering '¿Qué voy a hacer yo?' [What am I going to do?]. It's a bittersweet tale of a woman trying to outrun her past or her fears, and the person who's left behind, hoping she'll return.
