Como un ángel [Concrete Angel] [English translation]

She's been living thus for over three years;

She thought that she'd always be happy...

Behind her smile, she hides a dark world;

The terrible hell that he's putting her through, oh oh...

When he started, she forgave him;

After all, love is meant to be the refuge of pain

And, just like that, it happened time after time...

Put some make up on, don't let people see you like this...

[Chorus:]

Behind a face devoid of light, there's a tormented soul:

These are wounds that shall never heal.

And escaping from reality through her dreams

She flies away like an angel...

That afternoon wasn't one of the worst times,

But when she looked into those eyes, she understood:

Her child didn't deserve to live like that...

"I want you to grow up very far away from all this."

[Chorus:]

Behind a face devoid of light, there's a tormented soul:

These are wounds that shall never heal.

And escaping from reality through her dreams

She flies away like an angel...

A few months ago, she happened to walk by that same place

And, from behind the window, she saw a man starting at her:

The same man who one day, knew how to hurt her,

Is nowadays only a shadow from the past.

[Chorus:]

Behind a face devoid of light, there's a tormented soul:

These are wounds that shall never heal.

And escaping from reality through her dreams

She flies away like an angel...
