Mar Adentro [English translation]

Don't let the pain come to me here

The sorrow of not seeing you and not being able to caress you

Stand by me, you are in my dreams

I also know that we will find each other again

I wasn't prepared for the truth

Yes I was strong but now I am just of meat and bone

Fragile and homeless, crying you a river

Your face comes to me in the hardest/coldest times

Wandering in a constant trip

I can't find a way home, the sorrow overwhelms me

Your clothes intact in the double room with exact edges

Hoping you'll come back in a while

To hold me close like you used to every night

And kissing me like a brooch you know

The walls have your fragrance

And looking at the hall is what plummets me/makes me collapse

Every part of your name still cries out

And when the sun comes up only loneliness corresponds to me

I just want to hear the tone of your voice again

But now I only feel the abandonment from God

In my indoor sea/inner sea there is a stone of lament

I am trying to let you go

But I am loosing my breath

Don't give up, don't extinguish it!, don't let me down!

Don't let me down, don't let me down, don't let me down!

In my indoor sea/inner sea there is a stone of lament

I am trying to let you go

But I am loosing my breath

Don't give up, don't extinguish it!, don't let me down!

Don't let me down, don't let me down, don't let me down!

Don't let the pain come to me here

The sorrow of not seeing you and not being able to caress you

Stand by me, you are in my dreams

I also know that we will find each other again

Don't leave me

During your return to the beginning

I remember speaking about it, and one time I told you

What my weakness is at this moment, after

After discovering your mistakes with a magnifying glass

The pain of not having left you comes back to me

And at the end of our vacation I turned 50

The most exhausting Aprils, no doubt that your soul left you to eternity

We close that underground door

And since then I can't forget you nor overcome this

To leave the place I can't visit

I get tired of not crying on my birthday and Christmas

No one could replace you darling

I know that it's going bad and at some point

We will find each other again but as my voice breaks down

The memories disappear, the longest years pass by

Short deadlines and dreams hold you close

And that wasn't reality, I ask you to cure/heal me in heaven

I love you Mom

Don't let the pain come to me here

The sorrow of not seeing you and not being able to caress you

Stand by me, you are in my dreams

I also know that we will find each other again

Don't leave me
