EL FINAL DE AGOSTO Lyrics English Translation by Enol
We were young once
In the light of a little streetlamp
And a badly pitched tent
I was drinking
We talked about pretty girls
About impossible wonder goals
About the present and the past
About what a bummer it is to die
I think about the dread of the end of August when the nights start getting cold and I see in your eyes that you have to leave
Press yourself against my chest while we wait for the end
I’m alone but you’re alone
While being with someone else
Lie to yourself and say it’s his fault
Like you do with everything
I’m walking around like an angry bull pissed off at time
Because it speeds up when I want it to go slow
I’ve ended up with my soul stripped bare again and water up to my neck
Now that we’re both moving I walk at night the path that connected your house and mine
To live together again with that feeling
How clumsy of me, undressing another skin
Unhappy charmer, my role ate me up and I gave away love that doesn’t come cheap
I think about the dread of the end of August when the nights start getting cold and I see in your eyes that you have to leave
Press yourself against my chest while we wait for the end
I’m alone but you’re alone
While being with someone else
Lie to yourself and say it’s his fault
Like you do with everything
I’m walking around like an angry bull pissed off at time
Because it speeds up when I want it to go slow
I’ve ended up with my soul stripped bare again and water up to my neck
I’m in up to my neck
And water up to my neck
