Gris [English translation]

I have an unbuttoned, open hope

And a marionette inside a drawer

I have a meeting, a dream, and a farewell

I have a notepad in blank and an eraser

And a major melody, in G minor

I have a summer that waits for you each day

Who has a heart

To paint mine the color of love?

Mine only has one color

And it's gray, because of you

So much love made it fade away

And I, here I am

Standing here waiting;

And it is gray, because of you

In one trace I draw my illusion

And I, and here I am

Making a painting for you all in gray

I have a radiant sun that does not give off heat

An alarm clock, and overwhelming sleepiness

Your shadow wandering along my hall

Who has a heart

To paint mine the color of love?

Mine only has one color

And it's gray, because of you

So much love made it fade away

And I, here I am

Standing here waiting; perhaps I've lost the track of time

And it is gray, because of you

In one trace I draw my illusion

And I, and here I am

Making a painting for you all in gray

I have opened a boxed-in surprised

A new doubt inside the trunk**

I have a story, a dog

Whose name is Balú

I have a can of beer, half-empty, without alcohol,

A fantasy - that maybe this time it won't be one

I have a winter that calms me

And cools me

Who has a heart

To paint mine the color of love?

Mine only has one color

I have a radiant sun that gives off no heat

An alarm clock, overwhelming sleepiness

Your shadow wandering in the hall
