El Duelo [English translation]

How do you cheer yourself up when you dance to defy time?

How do you forget what´s happening if you´re moving?

How do you laugh and lie to me? How do you lose yourself?

How do you get up off the floor? How do you travel through grief?

I couldn´t do it anymore

And I gave exotic nights

To my neurotic ideas

To be able to find you.

There´s no consolation for grief

other than resignation,

It´s either pain or oblivion

and I am this emptiness.

And she left me and she left me and she took it away.

And she left me and she left me and she took it away.

And she left me and she left me and she took it away.

And she left me and she left me and she took it away.

How do you cheer yourself up when you dance to defy time?

How do you forget what´s happening if you´re moving?

How do you laugh and lie to me? How do you lose yourself?

How do you get up off the floor? How do you travel through grief?

I couldn´t do it anymore

And I gave exotic nights

To my neurotic ideas

To be able to find you.

There´s no consolation for grief

other than resignation,

It´s either pain or oblivion

and I am this emptiness.

And in our most secret acts

We stop ourselves to think,

I was dead for a time,

I like coming back to life.

How do you cheer yourself up when you dance to defy time?

How do you forget what´s happening if you´re moving?

How do you laugh and lie to me? How do you lose yourself?

How do you get up off the floor? How do you travel through grief?
