¡Ay, Madrid!

You are the branch without roots
Nor patience for fables
A slow game I can never escape
I've been trapped in Madrid for a thousand lives
On the edge of its pages
How do you ask me to take flight if I'm stuck here?

Oh, Madrid
I left my wings on the metro
And I don't know how to go on
No, I can't go without you
Oh, Madrid
Your face fogs up in the mirror
I miss you as much as myself

The bank jumps and it smells of blood at the Ritz
Today the hand was quick
I'm a vampire biting my tongue seeing you like this
Not even with a kiss there will be a happy ending
You leave me a prisoner of love and anger
My dear, what will become of me?

Oh, Madrid
The beast with dead eyes will pass
It has no end
No, I won't escape without you
Oh, Madrid
I'll steal the flowers from your burial
I miss you so much
Accursed ivory tower

I won't escape
No, I won't escape without you
I miss you so much
Accursed ivory tower
