Below, I translated the lyrics of the song El Humo Que Respiro... by Los Amigos Invisibles from Spanish to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Si te dijera, amor mío,
If I told you, my love,
Que temoa a la madrugada,
That I fear the dawn,
No sé qué estrellas son estas
I don't know what stars these are
Que hieren como amenazas,
that hurt like threats,
Ni sé qué sangra la luna
I don't even know what the moon bleeds
Al filo de su guadaña.
On the edge of her scythe.
Presiento que tras la noche
I feel that after the night
Vendrá la noche más larga,
The longest night will come
Quiero que no me abandones
I want you not to abandon me
Amor mío, al alba.
My love, at dawn.
Los hijos que no tuvimos
The children we didn't have
Se esconden en las cloacas,
They hide in the sewers,
Comen las últimas flores,
They eat the last flowers,
Parece que adivinaran
It seems that they guessed
Que el día que se avecina
That the day that is coming
Viene con hambre atrasada.
He comes hungry late.
Presiento que tras la noche
I feel that after the night
Miles de buitres callados
Thousands of silent vultures
Van extendiendo sus alas,
They spread their wings
No te destroza, amor mío,
It does not destroy you, my love,
Esta silenciosa danza,
This silent dance
Maldito baile de muertos,
Damn dance of the dead
Pólvora de la mañana.
Morning gunpowder
Presiento que tras la noche
I feel that after the night
Did you know?
