La caja del diablo
Los Planetas
The devil's box
I always think I've been deceived,
that something so small can't affect the brain like this.
But now I feel
an intense sensation
between the ears.
And from now on everything is different.
I locked the devil
in this box
and fell asleep.
When I wake up,
I see her sitting smiling on my bed.
She looks sweetly,
and kisses and hugs me.
Soon I feel like something is stealing my soul.
With effort I manage
to separate her lips from mine.
I manage to break away spitting blood.
The touch of her skin burns my flesh.
She looks from the bed
innocent and scared.
Her skin shining almost scaly
and I discover a demonic gleam in her gaze,
I clearly see in her the face of my sister.
I turn back to the box and feel
a shiver seeing it uncovered.
When I look back
she's not there
there's nothing left,
just a laughter that chills my soul.
Something very difficult to explain in words.
