Cross-road lovers

Fate crossed lovers meet

on opposing sides of the Milky Way,

Who are you to decide

they are not fated to be?

They walk in the path

drawn by the stars,

bare feet in the scorching sun

the burning scars

will be a remembrance.

Who broke the starway to Heaven?

I may just bungee jump 

straight to Hell

to take you out,

I may cross fate,

swimm across the Styx river

to get you now. 

Who broke the stairway to Heaven?

Would you meet me there?

In the cross-roads of the Universe,

pass the Magellanic Cloud,

where angels still sing aloud?

I may build an spaceship

or fly in the wings of a wingless Sputnik

and find you in the fated cross-road

where the moon and the sun meet,

we shall eclipse each other.

Los silencios

130 silencios

hablan a gritos

de violencia

en las calles de Paris

45 esperanzas

naufragan a la

costa de Libia,

3000 cantan las sirenas

Una muchacha llora

lágrimas en sangre

al desamor

bajo las piedras

que son su lápida

Y el mundo gira,

los silencios tienen flores

y las esperanzas rocas

y la muchacha que llora

llora fría y sola. 

Eso es amor

Si sonríes cuando me miras,

me encuentras en la distancia

y lloras cuando me voy...

Cariño,

tengo una noticia

Eso es amor

Si me llevas en el pensamiento,

me sueñas estando despierto,

y me extrañas cuando no estoy...

Mi vida,

tengo una noticia

Eso es amor

Es así de sencillo,

no necesita aditivos,

feliz estando conmigo

y triste estando sin mí...

Cuando me sueñas,

me piensas,

cuando me extrañas,

me encuentras,

cuando me miras

me ves...

En una marea de gente

soy el único haz de luz perenne,

cariño,

eso es amor.

Merry-go-round

When I close my eyes

I picture a home,

is a little faraway

and a little torn down.

When I open the door

a radio is playing on the background

and a man is dancing to the sound

of an old old love song.

He takes my hand

and walks me to the dance floor,

he wonders aloud

Do I remember this song?

It's the song of our love...

We waltz to the sound,

to the song of my soul!

And I go round and round,

turn around,

on the merry go round!

With my eyes still closed

it seems like I'm turning around

like a child in disguise

playing to be grown-up

But when I open my eyes

I'm walking forward in time,

in this merry go round

you called life

you are walking backwards!

With my eyes still closed

I hear children

playing in the front porch,

I don't need to open my eyes

to picture your toothless smile.

You are rocking me back and forth

forth and back in the memory swing,

there's a swing to your step

when you sway me around and around

We waltz to the sound,

to the song of my soul!

And I go round and round,

turn around,

on the merry go round!

With my eyes still closed

it seems like I'm turning around

like a child in disguise

playing to be grown-up

But when I open my eyes

I'm walking forward in time,

in this merry go round

you called life

you are walking backwards!

The sweet dreams lullaby

becomes silent,

I wake up to the sound

of your absence.

I waltz to the sound,

to the song of my soul!

And I go round and round,

turn around,

on the merry go round

you called life,

but when I open my eyes

I'm not running a perfect circle

where I'll meet you again,

I'm dancing forward in a spiral,

the highway to the end.

I go round and round,

and turn around,

on this merry go round,

you are a picture

in my background,

and some times,

on lonely days

an old stereo tape

still plays

our love song

and I waltz round a round,

turn around,

with your phantom

on this merry go round!

On the opposing side

We walk on the opposing sides

of one same street,

We are parallel lines

that shall never meet,

I want to reach out my hand

and touch your wavering heart

but you take a step back

and I lose my chance.

I try to call out your name,

to ask you to stay,

"Don't move away,

I'm coming your way",

you smile at me

from the opposing street

Did you hear it?

We stand on opposing sides

of one pedestrian crossing,

Are you waiting for me?

But the light turns green

and you just walk pass me,

and we are now once more

opposing lines 

of a single railway. 

Orbiting around each other

but never ever meeting,

Can I satisfy myself

by walking the same rail

unable to reach you?

What does it take

for you to turn around

and look my way?

You don't have to move,

I will walk to you,

You just have to wait.

I will touch your soul

a sunflower a day,

for you are the sun

I revolve around.

If you take my message

you don't have to come,

just wait a bit,

I will run to you.

From opposing sides

of one same street

if I reach out to you

Will you wait for me?

The Red Lights of Shanghái

Walking down the riverside,

Yangtzé is full of pride,

I leave the red lights behind,

wave farewell to Shanghái.

I left my heart in a golden cage,

a single man bears the key,

he owns this time and age,

he is a king,

the bearer of gold and outrage.

He walked me down the stage,

rose me up to his realm,

dressed me up on silk and jade

and walked me down the aisle of his pretend.

I'm a simple lady,

I don't wish for much,

open up your heart

and I will gift you mine back.

I'm leaving Shanghái,

the red lights behind,

I know that your love

is just a lie...

So I'm leaving Shanghái

and my heart behind

You put a crown upon my head,

and in gold chained my wrists,

you locked up my heart

and left it to starve for dreams

I'm a simple lady

I don't wish for diamonds,

if you say you love me

I'll give up my heart for you

I'm leaving Shanghái,

the red lights behind,

your love for me

was just a lie...

So I'm leaving Shanghái

Like a trophy on your stand

you paid for me, you dressed me up,

you bought my body, I gifted my heart,

I have nothing left but pride and hurt

I'm a simple lady,

I don't wish for gold,

if you tell me "I love you"

I'll love you in return

I'm leaving Shanghái

the red lights behind,

your loving words

were but a lie...

So I'm leaving Shanghái,

the red lights and you behind,

you showed me around,

a trophy of your hunt,

I loved you in return,

I lived a dream,

a fantasy,

among the red lights

of Yangtzé's riverside.

But I woke up

and so...

I'm leaving Shanghái

and the red lights behind.

A woman from planet Earth

You never loved me

the way a human being

should love another.

You dressed me up in wonder,

said I was a goddess, not your lover,

you built me an altar full of flowers

and worshiped the illusion of perfection.

You let me dance among the stars,

said my red carped was Mars,

you were the moon, my satellite,

I was the Northern Star on your sky.

'Till you opened your eyes

to discover nothing else

than a woman born in planet Earth

I fell down from Heaven,

a shooting star you wished upon,

but when you reached out

you saw I was nothing but a rock,

a woman born in planet Earth

You thought I flew,

I had wings,

but I walk too,

the same as you,

I'm but a human being

I'm no goddess

and you couldn't love me,

this woman born in planet Earth

You fell for a fantasy,

got down to your knees

and worshiped my feet,

but you can't stand up

and walk hand in hand

with this woman who's me

I never asked 

to dance among the stars

to walk the red carpet in Mars,

for you to be my satellite,

to be the guide in your night sky

I only wished to be loved,

but you could never love

this humble woman from planet Earth

I still think I'm dressed up in wonder,

but if you can't stand my faults,

the scars and voids inside my soul,

it's time to call it over.

I'll jump from my altar

to the earthly ground,

fall down from your heaven,

cut my wings and cry out loud

I'm just a woman from planet Earth

You couldn't love me,

I walk away,

I may not fly

but there's no fault in my steps,

I'm a beautiful woman

born on planet Earth.

The plus nine time

Streetlamps light the night,

they may seem pretty from afar,

but seen upfront they are just

artificial.

In this artificial land,

you stand among them all,

you... the only natural one.

When did you enter my world?

Like a gentle spring breeze

you swap my heart. 

You are standing there,

just beside me 

but miles away.

I don't have the courage

to reach out my hand

to you,

to you

to you...

I love you,

I love you,

I love only you,

-sings my heart

You are beautiful,

you are beautiful,

you are the most beautiful,

- can't you feel it all?

It's the plus nine time,

we are standing side by side,

you are smiling silly

to a joke playing in your mind

Night time whispers in my ear

that now it's the right time,

I reach out for my courage

but I open my eyes and you are gone

I never made a move

You were standing there,

just beside me 

but miles away.

I call out your name,

you turn around

and look me in the eye

I try to find the words

but they are stuck in my throat,

I end up saying goodbye

and you smile.

And you walk away

And again

I'm on my own.

I don't have the courage

to reach out my hand

to you,

to you

to you...

I love you,

I love you,

I love only you,

-sings my heart

You are beautiful,

you are beautiful,

you are the most beautiful,

- can't you feel it all?

Your back against the streetlamps

seems lonely,

It's Valentine's 

and I'm not by your side.

I've been a butterfly

dancing from flower to flower,

paper flowers,

scentless flowers,

false flowers in my garden,

but to the one true rose

that blossoms in my heart

I seem unable to

find the courage to have.

Something ignites in my soul,

it's the plus nine hour,

Nighttime whispers in my ear

that now it's the right time

And suddenly I wake up

and reach out to my courage

and I run to you,

run to you,

run to you...

I love you,

I love you,

I love only you,

-sings my heart

You are beautiful,

you are beautiful,

you are the most beautiful,

- can't you feel it all?

The clock strikes twelve,

Valentine day is over,

your shadow beneath the streetlamp

embraces another man's shadow,

the fantasy is broken.

It's the plus nine time,

you may be by my side,

but you are miles away.

I was a coward,

I was too late,

too late,

too late...

to shower

my one true flower.

Street lamps light the night,

they may seem pretty from afar,

but seen upfront they are just

artificial.

My artificial heart

is stopping now,

you were the only one,

my one true flower.
