La letra traducida al inglés – The lyrics translated into English

Junté fragmentos de otras historias I pieced together fragments of other stories (I collected bits and pieces from other people’s stories.)

Y no hay presagiosand there aren’t any signs

Si nada mío habla por mi bocaIf nothing mine comes out of my mouth (If you don’t hear me say anything original.)

Entonces no hagas casothen don’t pay attention (then don’t listen to me; just ignore me.)

Sé que estamos un poco enojadosI know that we are a little angry, annoyed

Pero quiero que lo sepasbut I want you to know

Estoy rodeado de bellos instrumentosI’m surrounded by beautiful instruments.

Bebiendo la pereza de soñardrinking the laziness of dreaming (indulging in a bit of dreaming; letting myself dream without inhibitions). A common hobby of many of us in the evenings.

Y es tan beautiful, como lo penséand it’s so beautiful, like I thought it would be (just like I imagined it to be.)

I’m beautiful, estrella de miel, estrella de mielI’m beautiful, honey star honey star (what could be sweeter than a star made of honey?🍯 😉 )

Tan beautiful, mereces lo que sueñasso beautiful, you deserve what you dream (you deserve to achieve your dreams and reach what you desire; you are worthy; you are beautiful, and you deserve all those beautiful things you are dreaming about.)

Suenas temblorosayour voice trembles and flickers like the flame of a candle in the wind. (perhaps, you are not sure about things, or you are not confident in what you are saying. You are afraid.)

Y quisiera estar más cercaI would like to be closer.

La noche me atraviesa – One interpretation could be the night traverses me. (The night passes me by; perhaps, as I’m dreaming, the night passes by, yet I stand still; I don’t feel time passing.) Another possibility is that in this sentence “atravesar” means “interrumpir” or “intervenir”. Therefore, it could mean that the night intervenes and interrupts my thoughts. If we combine this with the previous line from the song, then it might mean that I would like to be closer, but the night prevents me from doing so. 🌙 Either way it’s beautiful. 🙂

Los gatos gimen como mujeres dulcesthe cats moan like sweet women. 🐱

Tengo todo por no querer más nadaI have everything (that I need); I don’t need anything else; I don’t want more of anything; I’m content. What a great line!

Y el foco se detiene en la calma moradaand the spotlight pauses on the purple calm of the sunset (en la calma morada del ocaso uno encuentra el momento perfecto para detenerse y aclarar sus ideas, reflexionar sobre todo). Or perhaps “la calma morada” means something else.

Regreso de soñarI come back from dreaming.

Y es tan beautiful, como lo pensásand it’s so beautiful, just like you thought it would be (just like you imagined it to be).

Comencemos a subirLet’s begin to rise.

Nunca tan alto, tan alto, caí.never so high, so high, I fell.

Beautiful. Mereces lo que sueñas. Tengo todo por no querer más nada.
