Un Reloj Y Una Vela
Antonio Orozco
A Clock and a Candle
What’s the similarity
Between a clock and a candle?
I don’t know,
The coincidence that
The candle burns down,
And the clock doesn’t change.
Always searching
For the reason behind things
I’ll die,
Without allowing
Two cold hands,
To control my being.
Chorus
I’ll sing while the candle burns down
And I’ll die even if the hands keep turning,
I’ll sing until the candle’s gone
And I’ll die even if the wax lasts forever.
Blurring the shapes
Slowly burning,
Just like time distorts
Your face and your body.
Like time and fire
Are eternal and true,
Just like the song I sing
Scares me and I give to you.
Chorus
