lyrics

Cerca, más cerca
En otro planeta
Mi cabeza es un telescopio
Se va alejando para definir
Y asi magnificar el infinito de tu miedo

Tu fugaz, yo detrás
Tu quizás, yo jamás
Tu hablar, yo callar
Tu mirar, yo observar

Lejos, en otro planeta
Mi garganta es un telescopio
Se va enfocando para detallar
El tiempo circular que siempre se nos va
Y no se vé

Muero en otra estrella
Mis dos piernas
Son un telescopio
Con un conjuro voy a inventar
Nuestra propia ciudad donde no existen los espejos

Tu fugaz, yo detrás
Tu quizás, yo jamás
Tu hablar, yo callar
Tu mirar, yo observar

-

Near, even more near
In another planet
My head is a telescope
It moves away to define
And therefore magnify the infinite of your fear

You rush, me behind
You maybe, me never
You talk, I shut up
You look, I observe

Far away, in another planet
My throat is a telescope
It starts to get in focus to detail
The circular time that always escapes us
And you can’t see

I die in another star
My two legs are a telescope
With a spell I’ll invent
Our own city where mirrors don’t exist

You rush, me behind
You maybe, me never
You talk, I shut up
You look, I observe
