Espuma Mística
Mythic Foam
Pequeña caja de busto y luz
Small box of bust and light
Desafiando la mañana
Defying the morning
Antílope en quietud
Silent antelope
Que destruye las murallas
That destroys the walls
Habla con los ojos
Speaking with her eyes
Habla con las manos y con las estrellas
Speaking with her hands and with the stars
Baja hacia la grava
Coming down to the gravel
Sube con el cielo
Ascending with the sky
Juega que la viste al pasar
Pretending you saw her passing by
(Solo la viste al pasar)
(You only saw her passing by)
Amor sin respirar
Love without breathing
Convertido en ojiva
Become an arrow
Pequeña caja de busto y luz
Small box of bust and light
Que se absorbe como un agua
Absorbed like water
Corre con los dedos
Running with her fingers
Rueda con el alma
Rolling with her soul
Sobre la colmena
Over the beehive
Salta los abismos
Jumping over the abyss
Llueve con las gotas
Raining with the drops
Cree que la viste al pasar
Believing you saw her passing by
Es que ella estaba en la pared
She was on the wall
Con su espuma mística
With her mythic foam
Es que ella estaba en la pared
She was on the wall
Con su espuma mística
With her mythic foam
Con su espuma mística
With her mythic foam
Con su espuma mística
With her mythic foam
Canción de no volver
Song of no return
Con su oscuro madre perla
With her dark mother-of-pearl
Olvídate de
Forget about me
Que yo corro como liebre
I run like a hare
Cuelga de la viña
Hanging from the vine
Vino derretido
Molten wine
Mancha con luz plena
Staining with full light
Aspa de molino
Mill blade
Busca tu retina
Searching for your retina
Que cree que la viste al pasar
That believes you saw her passing by
(La viste al pasar, eh)
(You saw her passing by)
Es que ella estaba en la pared
She was on the wall
Con su espuma mística
With her mythic foam
Ella estaba en la pared
She was on the wall
Con su espuma mística
With her mythic foam
Con su espuma mística
With her mythic foam
Con su espuma mística
With her mythic foam
Es que ella estaba en la pared
She was on the wall
Con su espuma mística
With her mythic foam
Ella estaba en la pared
She was on the wall
Con su espuma mística
With her mythic foam
Con su espuma mística
With her mythic foam
Con su espuma mística
With her mythic foam
