Riazor [English translation]

At midnight, at the cliff edge

I turn up late and you're already waiting

Facing the waves imagining

How it would be to take the plonge.

Today over a million years ago

We swam on the beaches of Riazor.1

Boiling August, stormy September.

Two months before they appeared

Those stains of oil slick

Between your heart and my head.

What has happened to you, to that song

To the long lost hours in your room?

Who said that they wouldn't lose control

When they went on the path of destruction?

Today that sea wind is blowing again

It clouds my mind and my view

I prefer jumping at once without looking

And I want you to come after me,

And I want you to come after me.

Always smoking like crazy

Searching for life on other planets

Obsessed with going further

To get the perfect feeling.

How did only I realise

That in October the worst would come?

Boiling August, stormy September.

I can still see in slow motion

Those oil slick days2

Between your heart and my head.

What has happened to you, to that song

To the long lost hours in your room?

Who said that they wouldn't lose control

When they went on the path of destruction?

1. Seems to be a place in Coruña, Spain2. Oil slick doesn't sound as good as 'black tide' but that's meaningless in English :/
