Cómo mata el viento norte [English translation]

How the north wind kills

when August is in the day

and space makes our bodies glow, oh!

A beggar shows off jewellery

to the blind at the corner

and a puppy from the Lord fascinates us, oh!

Talk to me only about clouds and the sun

I don't want to know anything

about the misery of today's world.

Today is a good day

there's some peace

the earth is our sister

the others are the murderers.

How the north wind kills

when August is in the day

and space makes our bodies glow, oh!

A beggar shows off jewellery

to the blind at the corner

and a puppy from the Lord fascinates us, oh!

Mars does not surrender to the power of the sun

Venus makes us fall in love

The moon knows about its attraction

While we are dying here

our eyes closed

we don't see anything more than our nose

How the north wind kills

when August is in the day

and space makes our bodies glow.

Lady Night, be my cradle

be my cradle, be my day,

My little soul dances of joy, oh

of joy, oh

of joy, oh!
