Narices Frías
Juliana Velasquez
Cold Noses
It wasn't December
But it seemed like it
Only the police siren broke the silence
She cried while he laughed on the ground
Saying goodbye, they both touched their cold noses
What irony, what an innocent oath
Promising heaven while standing at the gates of hell
She cried because she wouldn't see him again
And he laughed because losing him was the best for her
He was a professional thief
Punished by life
Who learned in an alley
To dodge stray bullets
She was lost after that tragic day
Losing her whole family at the same time
Accursed traffic accident
On that corner (lost, she sought)
The medicine that would calm all the pain she carried
But in the end, the remedy was worse than the disease
Two sick people looking for a bit of love
But it's hard for a flower to grow from the asphalt
You shouldn't and you can't
Deceive your conscience
Better walk carefully
Because everything has consequences
And time passed, the moment arrived
The heart so fast and the clock so slow
A guard appears from behind
And the shot announces there's no turning back
The poor guard falls to the ground
And they were about to escape
But life gives you surprises
There wasn't just one, there were more
You shouldn't and you can't
Deceive your conscience
Better walk carefully
Because everything has consequences
You shouldn't and you can't
Deceive your conscience
Better walk carefully
Because everything has consequences
(You shouldn't, you can't
Deceive your conscience)
Oh, heaven isn't promised
Standing at the gates of hell, heart, no, no
(You shouldn't, you can't
Deceive your conscience)
Forgive me if I failed you, my love
But destiny isn't written in stone
(You shouldn't, you can't
Deceive your conscience)
Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
Oh, no, you can't deceive your conscience
It wasn't December, but it seemed like it
Only the police siren broke the silence
And I cried while he laughed on the ground
Saying goodbye, we touched our cold noses
