El porqué de tus silencios [English translation]

The reason for your silences

What do you want to hide?

The reason for so much time

Without talking.

God save you from making up (things)

From lying or from keeping quiet when you sing.

Like a defenceless bird

Beneath the storm.

You still find foundations,

In the cruel ruin,

Of your memory when you remember,

The reason for your silences.

(Chorus:)

And the traces of your feet,

In the sand facing the sea,

Erased by the to and fro of the waters.

The end is the beginning

No one waits for you anymore, you don't know if you're going Out or coming in.

They're family matters,

That can't be dealt with.

People don't change,

Genes don't deceive,

And your darts never hit

The centre of the the dartboard's bull's-eye.

(Chorus)

How difficult it is to be able to put, everyday,

A little light in your veins.

(Chorus)
