Mariposas Rojas Lyrics English Translation – Delaossa
Little holes all over my body,
From the daggers you left behind.
I’m bleeding red butterflies,
Flapping their wings, searching for light.
Since you left me (Yeah),
The wind just howls even louder,
Storms keep rolling in,
And the current pulls me under.
The emptiness and anxiety came back, I feel lost and alone.
Colors don’t shine the same way now that you’re gone.
I don’t eat, I just sleep, hoping I’ll find you in dreams,
‘Cause I’m living depressed, locked up like a prisoner without your love.
I can’t go to the places we used to, ‘cause they all remind me of you.
I avoid your street every time I walk through.
I ache for all we left unfinished, the dreams we won’t chase.
But I’m happy you’ve moved on, it’s good to see you smile.
But I’ve got little holes all over my body.
My wings caught fire flying too close to the sun.
And now I see us from a distance, like sailboats drifting,
Like all the good memories we once had, you and I.
An empty bed (Ay-ay-ay), a heavy chest,
Full of all the love I had for you, the love I still owe.
I hope that someday (I hope that someday) the sun will rise again,
And someone will pull me from this hell your hair left me in.
But I’ve got little holes all over my body,
From the daggers you left behind.
I’m bleeding red butterflies,
Flapping their wings, searching for light.
Since you left me (Yeah),
The wind just howls even louder,
Storms keep rolling in,
And the current pulls me under.
I’ve cried so much for you,
My eyes have run dry.
I’ve prayed so many times,
Begging God to bring you back to my side.
But I’ve got little holes all over my body,
From the daggers you left behind.
I’m bleeding red butterflies,
Flapping their wings, searching for light.
Since you left me,
The wind just howls even louder,
Storms keep rolling in,
And the current pulls me under.
