Ojos Tristes

Sad Eyes
[Zatu]
A day like any other begins, as everything seems the same
Today the commercial places don't open
They look in every trash can, searching for signs
They say he hates people and talks to animals
He makes songs with scraps, prevents time from stopping him
Today he patrols the bars again
I couldn't see you but everyone says you came
And brought back those sad eyes
They say he craves silence
That he moves slowly among fools
Who go in search of their birdseed
He's dirty and smells of pest
He left the bar running in a mistake and headed east
He knows there's no sun that rises like this
Wherever he is
He knows it's normal to be reprimanded
And sees that the rules are simple
He tries not to break them but avoids them by tiptoeing
Immersed in his nightmare
He talks crap about the world that hits him in the ribs
A bruise draws Africa on his stomach and he's not better
He thinks of the child he sponsored and yells
Winter comes to Seville
The cold enters the clock freezing the hands
Welcome to eternal time
And his sad eyes, crying on top of the notebook.

Your eyes give you away... your typo
That plays the timbales in your tin heart
Your face gives you away... no doubt you were going backwards
You will march at great speed through this river of silver. (2x)

There's a tear on an eyelid looking for a way out
And thinks of his cheeks as an avenue
He feels like a King Midas, walks at the end of the line
He doesn't look at the ground, he looks at his Adidas sneakers
He thinks... the label no longer shines
His heart neither, it also turned to clay
He's so tame now, you can pet him like a dog
He's not going to do anything, they put an iron muzzle on him
He barely lifts his head from the ground
He can barely make him look at the sky
I couldn't see you but everyone says you did
And you put those sad eyes back
The lack of expression on your face
Shows that your heart stops
So why did you come, crazy one?
Weren't you a Maharaja?
Should have given your cards to someone else to shuffle
(Your face gives you away)
Even your shadow doesn't talk to you anymore
Ended up following your advice to the letter
I don't even remember why you came
I only remember those sad eyes from you.
