A contraluz Lyrics English Translation by Fito y Fitipaldis
An old photo in my wallet
That got worn out from looking at it so much
I am the dragon who always cries for his princess
Who closed her eyes to imagine:
That you were there, me always in silhouette
It only lasted an instant, but I could see you
If it ends badly, I can get used to it
I know it was a disaster, but it did me good
I know that what costs nothing isn’t worth the trouble
Everything is so empty, so vulgar
Only this photo was saved, you left your mark
I’ll close my eyes to remember:
That you were there, me always in silhouette
It only lasted an instant, but I could see you
If it ends badly, I can get used to it
I know it was a disaster, but it did me good
The lie that sprouted from a promise
An ill-timed moment of feeling good
If someone asks me now
What it was I had to do
I learned where to put the commas, that’s what I had to learn
That you were there, me always in silhouette
It only lasted an instant, but I could see you
If it ends badly, I can get used to it
I know it was a disaster, but it did me good
That you were there, me always in silhouette
It only lasted an instant, but I could see you
If it ends badly, I can get used to it
I know it was a disaster, but it did me good
