El Reloj Y La Vela
Antonio Orozco
The Clock and The Candle
The Clock and The Candle
How is it that
a clock is like a candle
what do I know,
the coincidence that
the candle burns,
and the clock remains unchanged.
Always seeking
the reason behind things
I will die,
without allowing
two cold hands,
to direct my being.
-Chorus-
I will sing while the candle burns
and I will die even if the sphere turns,
I will sing until the end of the candle
and I will die even if the wax is eternal.
Blurring the shapes
slowly burning,
just like time distorts
your face and your body.
Like time and fire
e is eternal and sincere,
just like the song I sing
scares me and I give to you.
-Chorus-
