barely maintaining composure
barely lasts
just as long as the body lasts
the body
holds on from the inside
it goes with you senselessly
it accompanies me
picking up things from the ground
the stuff others
didn't want
ah ah ah ah...
I find pieces of life,
pieces of story,
pieces of plastic,
cans and memories (latas y recuerdos),
pieces in bodies, bodies in pieces
oh body, little body of mine
what a beating I've given you
all these years I've been
wandering lost
you've stolen my heart
and thrown it in a ditch
you've stolen my heart
and thrown it in a ditch
and now look
look at this body, little body of mine
what a beating I've given you
all these years I've been
wandering lost
oh body, little body of mine
what a little beating (cañita) I've given you
all these years I've been
wandering lost
and now the words
give you away
what you're carrying inside
even if they come disguised as otherwise
ha - you can't fool me anymore
so I'm leaving
because after all,
making my own decision
is almost the only true freedom
I have left
so I'm leaving
because after all
why stay
if making my own decision
is almost the only true freedom
I have left
