Lluevo

I write to show you what I feel
The fire that only exists inside
The hunger that serves as my food
The flower among the ruins of my temple

And I wish I knew how to stop time
The anguish of being just this moment
I don't know if it's vanity or remorse
Hiding in the songs I invent

But I swear that beneath this verse there's only fog
And beneath it only a trembling heart
And beneath it there's only wind, dust, time, and hunger

And a strange spell of love and blood
And I don't know if I'm tired of begging
Waiting for destiny to feel like talking
Or maybe I just don't want to negotiate anymore
And with the stones on the road, I'll build my home

But for now, I open my eyes and it's dawn
I give love to the heart that offers it to me
And since nothing is certain in this dark present
I hasten happiness when it appears

What does it matter if the devil is not on my side?
If God is not on my side either
If I have the ashes of my art
And a heart that shines while burning

What will it matter to me (what will matter to me)
What comes next (what comes next)
If I finally understood (if I finally understood)
That flying is like letting yourself fall

When you're not here (when you're not here)
Everything goes backwards (everything goes backwards)
From your mouth I learned (from your mouth I learned)
That flying is like letting yourself fall

I bless the life I lead
Prisoner of every kiss I taste
I never forget what I owe
If you are the thirst, I rain

I bless the life I lead
Prisoner of every kiss I taste
I never forget what I owe
If you are the flower, I rain

And now I just want life to be beautiful
Weed and crown, kissing Aphrodite
May the flowers in my mosque never lack light
Love and health for my skinny one

And if you want, I'll give you my hatred too
And my eyes too, and my hands too
While I fall, everything is fine
If for heaven I'm just a hostage

What will matter to me (what will matter to me)
What comes next (what comes next)
If I finally understood (if I finally understood)
That flying is like letting yourself fall

When you're not here (when you're not here)
Everything goes backwards (everything goes backwards)
From your mouth I learned (from your mouth I learned)
That flying is like letting yourself fall
I bless the life I lead
Prisoner of every kiss I taste
I never forget what I owe
If you are the thirst, I rain

I bless the life I lead
Prisoner of every kiss I taste
I never forget what I owe
If you are the flower, I rain
