Alenar [English translation]

I don't want the sun to rise today

I want the stars to return

So that I can keep you close

To play with your hair.

So that I can keep you close

To play with your hair.

If you play and I sing,

That means that we understand each other

And from now on

We will only move forward.

And from now on

We will only move forward.

In Valencia, there is a street

Full of geraniums and shadows,

Damp and gloom,

Saliva and understanding.

If you want to know its name:

It's Cavallers street.

If you want to know its name:

It's Cavallers street.

At home, I have three doors

Open to all the winds:

One I keep open for you,

The other one I keep open for those who are good

And the third one is for Death,

Which Time will close when my end is due.

Fallen angel,

principle of fire,

opened pomegranate.

Fallen angel,

principle of fire,

opened pomegranate.

This is what you are to me:

Beyond any doubt.

This is what you are to me:

Beyond any doubt.

Goodbye, midnight moon

Goodbye, sun of the high noon

Goodbye to all the stars

Who kept me company.

Goodbye to all those who have listened

To my friendly voice

I have sung on you behalf

Your voice is my own.

I have sung in your name

Your voice is my own.

Goodbye, midnight moon

Goodbye, sun of the high noon.
