Sucede que a veces [English translation]

It happens sometimes

life kills, and love

puts silicone in the locks of your home

Or they serve you a redundancy notice

And you are banished from Eden

into strange lands.

Sometimes it happens

you leave a bar, and the light

burns the skin of this vampire who loves you

Your forehead is covered with a fine brown dust

You yawn and little holes are burned

in your wings

But it happens also,

without knowing how or when

something causes your hair to rise

and rescues you from shipwreck

And it's always Friday, summer siesta

Verbena in the village, wreaths of May

Storms which cut off the TV

Telephones that burn

announcing your voice

Today I have dinner with you, today revolution

Kings who lose their crowns

See you among the crowd

Embraces which light up the pre-dawn sky

on the southern beaches

Sometimes it happens

life kills, and you find yourself

alone in this non-recyclable heart

decrepit oil tankers sink

and suspicions that cause myopia

in knife throwers.

Sometimes it happens life kills and winter

pulls out his revolver, aims at your ribs,

photograph albums terrify you and the mirror,

the car smells of pine and the sea of petrol.

But it happens also,

without knowing how or when

something causes your hair to rise

and rescues you from shipwreck

And it's always Friday, summer siesta

Verbena in the village, wreaths of May

Storms which cut off the TV

Telephones that burn

announcing your voice

Today I have dinner with you, today revolution

Kings who lose their crowns

See you among the crowd

Embraces which light up the pre-dawn sky

on the southern beaches

It happens sometimes, life kills

And it is always Friday. summer siesta

Today I have dinner with you, today revolution.
