Vuelve [English translation]

I'm cold, just like a salt statue

Inside a crystal mausoleum

Dry to the bone from crying

And just as dead as dead could be

Tiberius in his box

I'm all in ruins like the Parthenon

Alone, just like Columbus ended up

Pale just like the Mona Lisa

As bitter as a lemon

Wrinkled just like an accordion

I'm like the Sphinx when it lost its nose

Like Alexander the great without

His sword and without his dart

Like a poor Christian

During the Roman Empire

I'm searching for something I can answer

Because I'm weary of thinking

About how is it that the seconds go by

As I survive this Great Flood

Without much effort, the explanation

Appeared inside an old drawer

And in less than a single fraction

The heart,

It comes back to life, wearing green

Come back, come back

Come back, come back

Because my life is going down the drain

Because my feet have calluses

From standing

Because I don't know how to tell you

That I miss you

And I have been like this

For more than a year

Come back, come back

Come back, come back

Because my boat is

Sinking in the mud

Because angst has bitten

Even my elbows

Because my world is empty and

Boring

Because I'm dying to have you

Here, with me
