Solo [English translation]

Because red was unattainable to me

That deceived me all the time.

I'm here

The slow heart of the fragile devil.

So, the sun's waiting for you to lower your head

and the toreador to hit.

So, the waiting on me. Motionless silence.

And now I'm alone,

'Cause I won't get out of here and I won't come back.

I'll sink, I'll raise up,

I'll search Alì.

Harder than the wind and the evil that's here.

Than the eye moistened. Sweat and tears,

The heart stopped.

It's six,

the crowd is gone,

and others like me will see this sun.

I'm here, the blue will accord the useless honour.

More lonely than the wind and the evil that's here,

I'll be racing in the arena, I'll stay there.

I'll sink, I'll die, I'll search Alì.

Harder than the wind and the evil that's here,

I'll be racing in the arena, I'll stay there.
