La Casa de Al Lado

There is no time, no hour, no clock
There is no before, nor after, nor maybe
There is no far, no old, no never
In that forgotten invalidity

If everyone starts to think
Life is longer every time
I bet my life once again
Here there is no during or after

Stop repeating it to me
Us and them, you and I
Let no one stand in my place
Let no one measure my heart

The street begins to feel uncomfortable
The dance of the year is over
The cars take care of carrying
The remains of the broken heart

Here, here there is no tango, no trick or deceit
Here there is no harm that lasts a hundred years
Finally good weather even though there's no money
I'm crying, I'm getting used to it

Here on this block a thousand live
We nail time on a sign
We are like clock wizards
None seem to age

My grandfather told me the other day
My grandfather told me that maybe
His grandfather may know how to answer
If time is longer every time

The year goes by, it flies by
There's no one left who can catch it
And I'm watching, sitting in the field
How the year flies by

Time doesn't pass, years don't pass
Inventing things, with things from the past
The house next door waits for no one
It remembers, it remembers dreaming

The year goes by, it flies by
Time doesn't pass, years don't pass
And I'm watching, and I'm watching
And I'm watching, and I'm watching
