A Veces, a Veces

Sometimes it grabs you at night,
and just in case, you leave the light on,
and the next day you can't even get up in the morning,
all day in bed not understanding why.
So many thoughts surround you;
they're deep inside your chest;
you spend hours and weeks crying to your pillow
without stopping to think.
He called his mother and father, hadn't spoken to them since Tuesday,
and told them that the heart sometimes can
and sometimes can't, and cut them off halfway before they could answer.
Sometimes, sometimes life saddens you,
they're things that happen and disappear,
and at night when you go to sleep
you dream about them and the next day they're gone.
Sometimes it grabs you at night and just in case, you leave the light on,
face your pain,
don't let yourself be intimidated like the one who started this song.
Who killed himself in the early morning
at the time when others go to work;
and before pulling the trigger, he wrote his will
this is what I tell you, his last song.
Sometimes it grabs you at night and it's cold
and you're afraid of your shadow and the noises and
you know it's your head that doesn't stop
thinking about what was lost one day and won't come back.
CHORUS
And the next day in the morning
a scared neighbor came in
the police searched and in a pocket found
it was a lottery ticket.
He won it that same day (what an idiot)
at the time when others go to work;
Sometimes pain wins and your heart breaks
CHORUS
