Desapareixíem Lentament

We Were Slowly Disappearing

I walked into the party
The host introduced me to the guests
I shouted: I’ve come to start fresh
I settled down on a couch

From the window, I could see the park where some teens were bored
I thought: Where do they sleep? What will they see when they wake up?
As we were slowly disappearing

I bought myself a trumpet, we practiced every night
It was nice to play, but I preferred to fight with the neighbors
Ah! Look, a big fly buzzing, escaping over the skylight
I wrote her a song, so what?
As we were slowly disappearing

I climbed a tree hoping to see the Llobregat
The branches were creaking and I almost fell
The young girls from the town stared at me from afar, laughing
Ah! Life could be tough
As we were slowly disappearing

I found a woman, we rented an apartment near Gavà
What we were, her and I, all that time, I’m afraid I can’t explain
I never told her what the most twisted part of my brain was thinking
A cool breeze, the empty beach
As we were slowly disappearing

The magician's assistant lifted the veil and there we were, freezing
The audience, understandably, pissed off, demanded their money back
The producer clutched his wallet and said: Patience, my friends!
The magic words work
But this is slowly disappearing

The guy from the theater called for calm, saying
Relax, nothing is that short or clean
The magic words work
But this is slowly disappearing
