Ojo de Culebra [English translation]

Your body is encumbered by chains

Chains from all time,

Idiot snake eye, your façade

In which you hide your pain

Relieve me of the cursed word

The shadow of your thoughts, your

Lips, you reach into my thoughts in

every spare moment with your kiss my painkiller*...

I fall, I fall like the snake

I throw it, I throw it with all this bitterness

I fall, I fall to these falsities

So I wash myself of the pain

Give me your lips, you're resounding word, the wind of November that drags your skin

Give me your hand en your arm that I move,

Sow me on the ground wherever you wish

Listen to my mother

Listen to my sister

Listen to this child of strangers (x2)
