El Suicidio Del Cisne

I plotted the swan's suicide
I manipulated dozens of bodies
I got tired of playing with my killer self
I won every bet and lost.

That's why I remember you no more
like someone who memorizes
the scent of blood.
That's why I want to see you just as you are
with that naked, elegant cynicism.
Oh, Claudia! Oh, Claudia!

I know you wash away fear with soap and marijuana
like a thief and a gypsy I know
that at night you miss me.

That's why I can't find peace, I know
because I kissed the devil of your mouth.
That's why I'm going to look for you
no matter if I break the night,
if I shatter my glass.
Oh, Claudia! Oh, Claudia!

In the peace that comes from not being drugged
or turned into an animal, I want to rest,
to be with you and your death and with your breath
of suicidal honesty.

That's why I can't find peace, I know
because I kissed the devil of your mouth.
That's why I'm going to look for you
no matter if I break the night, if I shatter my glass.
Oh, Claudia! Oh, Claudia!
