Se vende [English translation]

We left so many dreams at the edge of the mattress

We left melodies along with the emotion

We fought so many duels behind that wall

I have the fringe of a sigh and a goodbye attached to me

Nobody calls here now, not one voice is heard

The furniture and the silence clutter the livingroom

I oppress the caresses and the pleas

And I write on a sign that I hang on the balcony...

For sale...a new soul, never been used, for sale

I give up my tin soldiers

I burn my ships in your pot belly stove1

furnished with pain.

Sell...the cloud of your soul that I invented

I surrender my conquests and my forts

The doubts go to the green bin2

And the soul goes sewn in to our farewells

The words and the TV get mixed up

The neighbors denounce the dreadful silence.

They picked up the trash 3for the last time,

I tear off the crystal reflections of God,

Your flames are put out and I burn myself

I can't find a way out of the inside of your love

Our names have been erased from the mailbox

And I write on the sign that I hung on the balcony...

For sale...a new soul, never used, for sale

I give up my tin soldiers

I burn my ships in your pot belly stove,

I give you my helm.

Sell... the cloud of your soul that I invented

The dreams, the promises, the unresolved

The doubts go to the green bin

And the soul goes sewn in to the pants.

Why don't you sweep up what's left of your heart

Why don't you keep what is most valuable

And make me a copy of the key to the gate

I'll leave a gap for you in my memory to come

I'll put you on a list that has no end

I will set aside the times that you want me

I'm here to take care of the site of love for you

For sale...a new soul, never used, for sale

I give up my tin soldiers

I burn my ships in your pot belly stove,

I give you the quilt.

Sell...the cloud of your soul that I had invented

The dreams, the promises, the unresolved

The doubts go to the green bin

And the soul goes sewn in to my pain
