Volcan [English translation]

You kissed like no one could imagine,

like a calm sea,

like a rough sea.

And you were always staying to see the dawn,

and to be my drug to forget.

I know that long time ago you warned me:

“Darling, be very careful, darling, ‘cause it will hurt you.

You shouldn’t love me, I am a sin.

There are days in my past that will return.”

I, who was a storm, I, who was a tornado,

I, who was a volcano, I am an extinguished volcano,

‘cause you flew away from my nest,

‘cause you flew away from me.

I, who was a storm, I, who was a tornado,

I, who was a volcano, I am an extinguished volcano...

You kissed like no one could imagine,

like a calm sea,

like a tidal wave.

And you were always staying to see the dawn,

and to be my drug to forget.

You made the days turn into the nights,

sometimes it was your body, sometimes something more,

and I was a poor man, but by your side,

I felt that I was lucky like no one else.

I, who was a storm, I, who was a tornado,

I, who was a volcano, I am an extinguished volcano,

‘cause you flew away from my nest,

‘cause you flew away from me…
