Todas tus preocupaciones
ahora parecen
tan lejanas.
All your fears
I fear I once shared
Ahora sé
que hay un futuro
para todos nosotros.
No hace mucho
estaba muy asustado.

Parecías tan triste
podía ver
a través de tu sonrisa retorcida
que estabas muy insegura,
siempre confundida.
Con tus pálidos ojos azules,
mirabas hacia abajo
desde tu torre de marfil,
Through the haze
All broken and bruised

Entonces, de la nada,
el amor llegó corriendo,
del cielo salió el sol,
Out of left field
llegó un día de suerte,
de la nada, no [había] más dolor.

No me importa
que solo sea
una moda pasajera.
Las frases desechables
suenan sinceras.
Si fuese tú,
me quedaría
por un rato.
Si fueses yo,
¿saldrías con estilo?

Oh here it comes again
That old ennui
I hope it won't stay long
Well it's every man to his own thing
And every singer to his song
If you're feeling low
And all upset
Nothing's going right
You just make a wish
Como en un cuento de hadas
Y te hechizaré
If it takes all night
Hay muchas cosas
Que yo podría decir
To try and comfort you
But I know the words you'd like to hear
Are simply "I love you"

Sometimes I'm up
Sometimes I'm down
A topsy-turvy life
But only searching
For the truth
And I'll find it
If it takes all night

Well I myself
My main concern
Is what I can afford
So si la música be my mistress
Then at least she's Madame Claude... d'accord

Ah. ¡Más champán!
To lose this pain
Would be very nice
So I'll help myself to one more drink
And I'll find myself,
aunque lleve toda la noche.

Well this is such
A sad affair
I've opened up my heart
So many times
But now it's closed
Oh my dear
Every salted tear
It wrings

Bitter, sweet applause
But when the show's in full swing
Every once in a while
High stepping chorus lines
Mean I'm forgetting
Mein lullaby, liebchen
How rich in contrast
Love can be

Sometimes I'm quite amused
To see it twist and turn
To taste, both sweet and dry
These vintage years!
Lovers you consume, my friend
As others their wine

No, no es
el fin del mundo
Gestrandet an leben und kunst
Und das spiel geht weiter
Wie man weiss
Noch viele schonste, wiedersehen

Y ahora, as you turn to leave
You try to force a smile,
como para compensar,
Then you break down and cry

Aquí el suelo es estéril
Aquí nada crece
Más que cruces
No saben lo que hacen
Tú - tu perdón cae
Como el rocío

Nailed upon a wooden frame
Twisted yet unbroken
Open mounted a silent choir
Understood, unspoken
Never was there heard a sound
Until the heavens opened

Now the tide is turning
To other-worldly yearning
Though the sun's eclipse seems final
Surely he will rise again

You. The hero
So many times
You've loved
And didn't linger
Now my finger
Points at you
Another loser
You. An island
On your own
Complete
In every detail
Monumental
A precious jewel
Or just a fool

Innovator
It's in your mind
And blood
I watch it simmer
I see you're courting
More despair
No hope?
Not a glimmer
But now you're nothing
But second hand
In glove
With second rate
Now you're flirting
With heroin
Or is it cocaine?

Casanova,
¿así te llamas?
¿O vives allí?
I know my place
Is here with you
Esta noche
But not together

(Texas) Oh that's where I
Belong
It seems to me
(Texas) Estrella solitaria
Shine on
El gran país
(Texas) With open skies
And you
For company
(Texas) Oh prairie rose
How happy
I should be

Hey, hey. You can take it from me
Hey, hey. I'll be coming, ya verás.
Hey, hey. Oh what a state to be in
Hey, hey. Me estás tentando.

(Texas) I will compose
In fancy rhyme
Or just plain prose
(Texas) A song of praise
To you
Prairie rose
(Texas) Though I'm not sure
I can explain
Your strange allure
(Texas) Oh, prairie rose
Una corona de espinas
Una flor perfumada

Hey hey, I'd better leave right away
Hey hey, I can hear you calling me

Hey, hey, prairie rose
