La Bola de Cristal
Manel
The Crystal Ball
Look,
The sun rises in the cities where we could have lived
And a light full of peace floods all the kitchens.
I act calm, and you seem so calm.
And I shout: "take off the disguise and reveal who you are!
I don't believe that you are the life we are missing".
Look,
Everything has gone according to plan, what an example of harmony,
This is believing in what one wants and investing wisely the days,
If you take note, I think we have a good book of aphorisms.
And I shout: "observing your hands, I've seen your trick!
You're not really the life we have lost".
Look,
Party hats, streamers, come on baby, what socks,
We are all here, yes, but look closely, how I look at you, how you look at me.
Come on, let's face it, on good days we are almost invincible!
And I shout: "this is a pathetic amateur theater!
And not the life that slips away from us every moment".
Look
How the nerves couldn't, the words we were looking for.
We say them and they're not scary, we say them out loud:
"my love, I will always be here, my love, how could you doubt it?"
And I shout: "I know what you're up to and I've lost interest!
That the life we have lost simply doesn't exist".
