El Ruiseñor Lyrics English Translation by José Madero
The blow sounded
It echoed on my desk
New wings to fly
The flight ended
Neck broken in two
Oh, nightingale
You can still see it breathing
My skin, the solution, I want to help it
A window cut off the desire to fly
Yeah, that’s me
I’m like the nightingale
A window that became a thief
Put that heel to use
‘Cause that nightingale was left alive
What you hear today
That guy died
Since his childhood
Right away, you can tell
What you hear today
Over and over
The fish touched ground
Where’s that foot?
Something quick
A window cut off the desire to fly
Yeah, that’s me
I’m like the nightingale
A window that became a thief
Put that heel to use
‘Cause that nightingale was left alive
Safe from this cage and fly
Just to crash into this glass
A window served as the final goodbye
For flying with no direction
Like a faithful nightingale
A window broke this neck in two
Where’s the stomp?
Well, it was left alive
It was left alive
