Oscuro día [English translation]

Long days

like rivers in one's hands

like tears falling to the sea.

Gloomy day

like a god who can't smell,

like a fish in crystal waters.

People with their life sitting next to them

waiting in benches on the sidewalk,

for the day to change a piece of something,

or at least to illuminate the Big Road.1

Long days,

as long as airport's hallways,

like Sundays in the city.

Gloomy day,

like music in the wind,

like a bird without direction.

Gloomy day,

gloomy day,

gloomy day.

I've been hurt,

daggers of melancholy.

The moon's treason to the sun.

And I've fallen,

in a long and gloomy day,

in my voice's former sadness.

1. Meaning the road of life, as well as it can mean la Gran Vía, one of Madrid's famous avenues.
