Aleluya Nº 1 [English translation]

These are the things that make me forget

Hallelujah, Hallelujah

A tear in the hand

a very near whisper

a story that ends

a skin that doesn't breath

a tore up cloud

a sheded blood

Hallelujah

Fifteen shouts pleading

a land that beats

the smile of a memory

the lie of an I love you

a girl asking

some bodies getting together

Hallelujah

Thousand silences of an oblivion

a lost love

three garlands in the hair

the breath of some kisses

the forgiveness of the sins

some feet nailed

Hallelujah

The reason of madness

a dark moonlight

some eyes in the night

a voice that isn't heard

a flame turning off

a life running out

Hallelujah

These are the things

that make me forget

this absurd world

that doesn't know where to go

Hallelujah, Hallelujah

A mother breastfeeding

I have a thirsty throat

the color of an open time

an always uncertain tomorrow

the sweat in a forehead

the pain of a people

Hallelujah

An ulcer closing

a wound locking himself

some trembling lips

some warm arms

two words in the sand

a tide takes them away

Hallelujah

A clock with thirty hours

the not working sign

a stone in the empty

another stone in the sense

a rain in the soul

a fire in the heart

Hallelujah

Some footsteps without destiny

on fourty thousand ways

a disonant chord

nine hells and Dante

some flowers in my grave

always, never, never, never

Hallelujah

These are the things

that make me forget

this absurd world

that doesn't know where to go

Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
