Estrellitas y duendes [English translation]

I'll live on in your memory

as a simple shower

of little stars and leprechauns,

I'll wander around your abdomen

chewing on every hope of yours.

You'll live in my dreams,

like indelible ink,

like a steel stain.

It's impossible to forget the language

of when two people make love.

I got burnt on your cheeks,

like the sun in the afternoon;

my body is being torn apart,

and I can't live a second to tell you

that, without you, I'll die.

I stopped on your pupils, my darling,

and I can't close my eyes anymore.

I threw myself into the depths,

and I'm now drowning on the sea

of your departure, of your departure...

(Ohh... Ohh...)

I'll walk around unknowingly,

I'll leave steps around your body

like footfalls on iron,

I'll eat what's left over in your heart.

And I'll be a deserted sea,

a silent phrase,

the elegy of a kiss,

a planet of jealousy

sculpting a song.

I got burnt on your cheeks,

like the sun in the afternoon;

my body is being torn apart,

and I can't live a second to tell you

that, without you, I'll die.

I stopped on your pupils, my darling,

and I can't close my eyes anymore.

I threw myself into the depths,

and I'm now drowning on the sea

of your departure, of your departure...
