No tenía idea de cuánto la necesito.
In peaceful times I hold her close and I feed her
Mi corazón empieza a palpitar
cuando creo que mi suposición estaba equivocada.
Pero creo que me llevaré bien [con ella].
Es solo una chica,
es una bomba.

Atena,
todo lo que quiero hacer es complacerla.
My life has been so settled
y es gracias a ella.
Just one word from her
And my troubles are long gone
But I think I'll get along
Es solo una chica,
es una bomba,
es una bomba.
Solo una chica, solo una chica,
solo una chica, solo una chica,
solo una chica, solo una chica,
es solo una chica.

Atena,
mi corazón se sentía como vidrio roto en un baño ácido.
me sentía como una de esas hormigas aplastadas
que se encuentran en un camino loco.
I'd have stopped myself to give her time
She didn't need to ask
¿Era yo un psicópata suicida?
Es solo una chica.
Es una bomba.
Es solo una chica.
Es una bomba.
Consumed
There was a beautiful white horse
I saw on a dream stage
He had a snake the size of a sewer pipe
Livin' in his rib cage

I felt like a pickled priest
Who was being flambed
You've got me requisitioned, rubita,
She's just a girl
Es una bomba
I'm happy
She's a bomb
I'm ecstatic
Just a girl, just a girl
Just a girl, just a girl
Just a girl, just a girl
Just a girl

Look into the face of a child
Measure how long you smiled
Before the mem'ry claimed
How long would children remain
How long could children remain

Athena
You picked me up by my lapels
And screamed "leave her"
I felt like waking up in heaven
On an empty meter
And now you're stuck
With a castrated leader
And I hate the creep
I didn't mean that
She's a bomb
I just said it
She's a bomb
Please She's a bomb

Athena
I had no idea how much I need her
My life has been so settled
And she's the reason
Just one word from her
And my troubles are long gone
Ooh but I get along
She's just a girl
She's a bomb
She's just a girl
She's a bomb

I had no idea how much I need her
In peaceful times I hold her close and I feed her
My heart starts palpitating
When I think my guess was wrong
But I think I'll get along
She's just a girl
She's a bomb

Athena
All I ever want to do is please her
My life has been so settled
And she's the reason
Just one word from her
And my troubles are long gone
But I think I'll get along
She's just a girl
She's a bomb
She's a bomb
Just a girl, just a girl
Just a girl, just a girl
Just a girl, just a girl
She's just a girl

Athena
My heart felt like a shattered glass in an acid bath
I felt like one of those flattened ants
You find on a crazy path
I'd have stopped myself to give her time
She didn't need to ask
Was I a suicidal psychopath
She's just a girl
She's a bomb
She's just a girl
She's a bomb

Up here on the ledge
I'm getting pushed to the edge
People line up behind me to step into my shoes
Up here on the precipice
Me estoy acercando a mi némesis
People fighting each other to jump into my blues

There's a young kid inside me somewhere
Se queda despierto toda la noche, un vampiro que nunca muere,
con la sangre y la luna in his eyes
Escucho su voz cuando estoy de bajón.
Dormir es para tontos que nunca ven el amanecer,
que nunca get to live twice

I was a face in a magazine
cuando todavía jugabas con tu plastilina.
Now you're doggin' my tail, ridin' the slipstream
You can take the fans and the enemies
The little girls who squeeze and tease
Then pass on their social disease
Go get your penicillin

I know you young and dumb
Sé de dónde vienes
pero no adónde vas.
But I been there same as you
te estás quedando sin ideas
And new hats to try on
I know you middle age
Same song, different page
I know what you're goin' through
Cometí los mismos errores que tú.
Todo lo que quieres es algo de esperanza,
y un hombro sobre el que llorar.

There's a stranger inside me somewhere
That shadow behind me, don't even look like me
An echoed apology
He's a wolf in a sheep's disguise
I wake up in places I don't even recognize
Pretender in paradise

It's your turn, step up and take it
If you've got the guts to hang on
You can make
C'mon, c'mon, come on
Ooh take it!

Up here on the ledge
I'm getting pushed to the edge
People line up behind me to step into my shoes
Up here on the precipice
I'm getting close to my nemesis
People fighting each other to jump into my blues

There's a young kid inside me somewhere
He stays up all night, a vampire that never dies
With the blood and the moon in his eyes
I hear his voice when I'm comin' down
Sleep is for fools, who never see the sunrise
Who never get to live twice

I was a face in a magazine
When you were still playin' with your Plasticine
Now you're doggin' my tail, ridin' the slipstream
You can take the fans and the enemies
The little girls who squeeze and tease
Then pass on their social disease
Go get your penicillin

I know you young and dumb
I know where you're comin' from
Don't know where you're goin' to
But I been there same as you
You're running out of ideas
And new hats to try on
I know you middle age
Same song, different page
I know what you're goin' through
Made the same mistakes as you
All you want is some hope
And a shoulder to cry on

There's a stranger inside me somewhere
That shadow behind me, don't even look like me
An echoed apology
He's a wolf in a sheep's disguise
I wake up in places I don't even recognize
Pretender in paradise

It's your turn, step up and take it
If you've got the guts to hang on
You can make
C'mon, c'mon, come on
Ooh take it!

La gente está sufriendo, I'll say it again
La gente está sufriendo, I'll say it again
La gente está sufriendo, I'll say it again
So, remember when you're looking for trouble
That trouble is already busy con hombres más débiles.

La gente tiene hambre, I'll say it again
La gente tiene hambre, I'll say it again
La gente tiene hambre, I'll say it again
So, no abuses de ese cuerpo
It'll snap without assistance, amigos.

I'll sing again until the music enervates
(The song goes on)
The sting of pain will dull and finally fade away
(The song goes on)
Through centuries of history it reverberates
(The song goes on)
On curving comets track the music makes it way

Esta canción es tan larga
que termina donde comienza.

People are lonely, I'll say it again
People are lonely, I'll say it again
People are lonely, I'll say it again
So, don't let them run too far from home
You'll be alone for sure on that you can depend

People are bleeding, I'll say it again
People are bleeding, I'll say it again
People are bleeding, I'll say it again
So put away that switchblade knife
Tighten up the knot that'll help this bloodshed end

Esta canción es tan larga
que termina donde comienza.

People are suffering
I'll say it again and again and again and again
People are hungry
I'll say it again and again and again and again
People are lonely
I'll say it again and again and again and again

I'll say it again and again and again and again
I'll say it again and again and again and again
I'll say it again and again and again and again
I'll say it again and again and again and again

People are suffering, I'll say it again
People are suffering, I'll say it again
People are suffering, I'll say it again
So, remember when you're looking for trouble
That trouble is already busy with weaker men

People are hungry, I'll say it again
People are hungry, I'll say it again
People are hungry, I'll say it again
So, don't you abuse that body
It'll snap without assistance, my friends

I'll sing again until the music enervates
(The song goes on)
The sting of pain will dull and finally fade away
(The song goes on)
Through centuries of history it reverberates
(The song goes on)
On curving comets track the music makes it way

This song is so long
It ends up where it begins

People are lonely, I'll say it again
People are lonely, I'll say it again
People are lonely, I'll say it again
So, don't let them run too far from home
You'll be alone for sure on that you can depend

People are bleeding, I'll say it again
People are bleeding, I'll say it again
People are bleeding, I'll say it again
So put away that switchblade knife
Tighten up the knot that'll help this bloodshed end

This song is so long
It ends up where it begins

People are suffering
I'll say it again and again and again and again
People are hungry
I'll say it again and again and again and again
People are lonely
I'll say it again and again and again and again

I'll say it again and again and again and again
I'll say it again and again and again and again
I'll say it again and again and again and again
I'll say it again and again and again and again

Any tough can fight - few can play
Any fool can fall - few can lay
Any stud can reproduce - few can please
Anyone can pay - few can lease

It's hard – It's very very very very hard - so very hard
It's hard
(It's a hard hard hand to hold
It's a hard land to control)

Any man can claim - few can find
Any girl can blink - few can lie
Anyone can promise - few can raise
Anyone can try - but a few can stay

It's hard – It's very very very very hard - so very hard
It's hard
(It's a hard hard hand to hold
It's a hard land to control)

Cualquier cerebro puede esconderse - few can stand
Cualquier niño puede volar - pocos pueden aterrizar.
Cualquier pandilla puede dispersarse - pocos pueden formarse.
Cualquier niño puede parlotear - pocos pueden informar.

It's hard - It's very very very very hard - so very hard

It's hard
(It's a hard hard hand to hold
It's a hard land to control)

Cualquier alma puede dormir - pocas pueden morir
Cualquier pelele puede llorar - pocos pueden llorar
Todo el mundo se queja - pocos pueden exponer
Cualquiera puede parar - pero pocos pueden esperar.

It's hard - It's very very very very hard - so hard

Anyone can do anything if they hold the right card
So I'm thinking about my life now
I'm thinking very hard
Deal me another hand, Señor, this one's very hard
Deal me another hand, Señor, this one's very hard

Any tough can fight - few can play
Any fool can fall - few can lay

(It's a hard hard hand to hold

Any brain can hide - few can stand
Any kid can fly - few can land
Any gang can scatter - few can form
Any kid can chatter - few can inform

It's hard - It's very very very very hard - so very hard

It's hard
(It's a hard hard hand to hold
It's a hard land to control)

Any soul can sleep - few can die
Any wimp can weep - few can cry
Everyone complains - few can state
Anyone can stop - but few can wait

It's hard - It's very very very very hard - so hard

Anyone can do anything if they hold the right card
So I'm thinking about my life now
I'm thinking very hard
Deal me another hand Lord, this one's very hard
Deal me another hand Lord, this one's very hard

¿Puedes sentirlo?
Mirándote en la oscuridad,
tocándote como una enfermedad,
El miedo is taking control
The beach head is the street
In the gutter lies defeat
El miedo es la clave de tu alma,
que te hace peligrosa,
tan peligrosa para ti misma.

Can you feel it in the shadows?
Watching you, touching you
Can you feel it in the shadows?
Mirándote, tocándote,
convirtiéndote en un perro loco
que aúlla a la luna.
And you're so far out of tune
Better learn how to sing
Fences, we put up defenses
Then we come to our senses
It may keep them out
But it keeps us in
y eso nos hace peligrosos,
todos somos peligrosos para nosotros mismos.

This is the jungle (this is the jungle)
Not illusion (not illusion)
Jungle city (jungle city), in confusion (in confusion)
We are the next step in evolution
The new stone age, revolution
Back to the stone age, constitution
No solution

Can you feel it in the shadows?
Watching you, touching you
Can you feel it as the shadows?
Follow you, swallow you
Can you feel it?
Fear is the key
Can you feel it?
Fear is the key
Can you feel it? (Can you feel it?)
Fear is the key to your soul

Can you feel it?
Watching you in the darkness
Touching you like a sickness
Fear is taking control
The beach head is the street
In the gutter lies defeat
Fear is the key to your soul
That makes you dangerous
So dangerous to yourself

Can you feel it in the shadows?
Watching you, touching you
Can you feel it in the shadows?
Watching you, touching you
Changing you into a mad dog
Howling at the moon
And you're so far out of tune
Better learn how to sing
Fences, we put up defenses
Then we come to our senses
It may keep them out
But it keeps us in
And that makes us dangerous
We're all dangerous to ourselves

This is the jungle (this is the jungle)

I've known no war
And if I ever do I won't know for sure
Who'll be fighting whom
For the soldier's lonely tomb
Now opens as soon as the referee's gun starts to roar
I'll know no war

Galbraith took his pen
To break down a los hombres
del derrotado ejército alemán
On the nineteenth day
Of a spring day in May
Albert Speer was deleted
And as soon as the battle was over
I was born in victorious clover
And I've never been shot at or gassed
Never tortured or stabbed
And I'm sure - I'll never know war

I know I'll never know war
And if I ever do
The glimpse will be short
Fireball in the sky
No front line battle cries
Can be heard as the button is pushed
By a soul that's been bought
I'll know no war

In and out of reach loft
The medals are lost
They belong to a lone broken sailor
His provinces now
Are the bars of the town
sus canciones y sus poemas de fracaso
For his grandchildren can't see la gloria
y sus propios hijos se aburren de la historia,
But for him they'd have burned behind netting
From the brink they were grabbed
And I'm sure
I'll never know war

I've known no war
And if I ever do I won't know for sure
Who'll be fighting whom
For the soldier's lonely tomb
Now opens as soon as the referee's gun starts to roar
I'll know no war

War - I've known no war
I'll never know war
And if I ever know it
The glimpse will be short
Fireball in the sky
No front line battle cries
Can be heard as the button is pushed by a soul that's been bought
And the armies remaining will judge without people or courts
And there's no point pretending that knowing will help us abort
I'll know no war

I've known no war
And if I ever do I won't know for sure
Who'll be fighting whom

For his grandchildren can't see the glory
And his own kids are bored with the story
But for him they'd have burned behind netting
From the brink they were grabbed

I'll never know war

I've known no war

There's a scene
Indelible, it hangs before my eyes
In our teens, incredibly
Together with no ties

That was a life enough for me
Una vida es suficiente para mí.

Throw back your head
Let your body curve
Into the long grass of the bed
Pull me down into your hair
And I'll push and swerve
As we both gasp in the evening air
Yeah

Throw back your head
Ley your body curve
Into the long grass of the bed
Pull me down into your hair
And I'll push and swerve
As we both gasp in the evening air

One at a time
Always ready to fight over the little things
One at a time, she's
Always ready to fight over the little things
She's going crazy and the table starts shakin'
She's been abusin' her body again
Her vision gets hazy and the bottles start breakin'
She's been seeing that man again

If you want her, you can keep her
'Cause I can only handle one at a time
You can take her
I've got someone waitin' in line
And I'd like to
But I can only handle one at a time
One at a time

I found out she's continually cheatin'
She insists, she so innocent
So I stayed out at another late meeting
And she waited up for another argument

If you want her, you can keep her
'Cause I can only handle one at a time
You can take her
I've got someone waitin' in line
And I'd like to
But I can only handle one at a time
One at a time

I'm moving on to something better
There must be something better than this
She's got me so confused
As to who's being used

Call her up right away
You've got her number
And I promise not to answer the phone
You can pick her up in your clapped out Humber
I just hope it can get you home

If you want her, you can keep her
'Cause I can only handle one at a time
You can take her
I've got someone waitin' in line

Las calles del futuro están plagadas de los restos
de los tontos y los llamados "cerebros".
Toda la predicción es suficiente para matar,
pero solo Dios sabe si será así o no.
Nadie sabe por qué …
Some silly creature said we'd never crack
Most would just survive and then bounce back
But the rest are crying, "¿Por qué me tragué esa mierda?"
¿Por qué me lo tragué?

So many rash promises sincerely made
By people who believed that we were being saved
They made us all believe that we were acting white
But the truth is we've forgotten how we used to fight
Nobody knows why we fell so flat
We're impotent and neutered like whining cats
We've found the piper pero hemos perdido las ratas.
But the kids are crying "Why'd you fall for that papá?"
Why did you fall?

Nunca llueve bajo mi paraguas.

Four minutes to midnight on a sunny day
Maybe if we smile the clock'll fade away
Maybe we can force the hands to just reverse
"Maybe" es una , "maybe maybe" es una maldición.
Nadie sabe por qué we fell so flat
Nunca nos han enseñado a luchar o afrontar los hechos.
Simplemente creímos que permaneceríamos intactos.
Pero la historia está preguntando, "Why'd you fall for that?"
Why did you fall?

Why did I fall for that?
Why did I fall for that?
Why did I fall for that?
Why did I fall for that?
Why did I fall for that?
Why did I fall for that?
Why did I fall for that?
Why did I fall for that?
Why did I fall for that?
Why did I fall for that?

The streets of the future littered with remains
Of both the fools and the so-called "brains"
The whole prediction is enough to kill
But only God knows if it won't or it will
Nobody knows why we fell so flat
Some silly creature said we'd never crack
Most would just survive and then bounce back
But the rest are crying, "Why'd I fall for that crap?"
Why did I fall for that?

So many rash promises sincerely made
By people who believed that we were being saved
They made us all believe that we were acting white
But the truth is we've forgotten how we used to fight
Nobody knows why we fell so flat
We're impotent and neutered like whining cats
We've found the piper but we've lost the rats
But the kids are crying "Why'd you fall for that dad?"
Why did you fall?

It never rains under my umbrella

Four minutes to midnight on a sunny day
Maybe if we smile the clock'll fade away
Maybe we can force the hands to just reverse
"Maybe" is a word, "maybe maybe"'s a curse
Nobody knows why we fell so flat
We've never been taught to fight or to face up to facts
We simply believed that we'd remain intact
But history is asking, "Why'd you fall for that?"
Why did you fall?

Why did I fall for that?
Why did I fall for that?
Why did I fall for that?
Why did I fall for that?
Why did I fall for that?
Why did I fall for that?
Why did I fall for that?
Why did I fall for that?
Why did I fall for that?
Why did I fall for that?

Hablas de tus locos asuntos,
hablas de tu vida como si realmente importara.
Llamas la atención bloqueando las escaleras,
alardeando de unas botellas que has roto.

Bueno, conocí a un hombre que vive de verdad,
He really does it all
Pero lo que realmente importa es el corazón que da
He makes your talk seem small

Cuando un hombre es un hombre,
no actúa según un plan.
No tiene que actuar como John Wayne en alguna película de serie B.
Un hombre es un hombre
cuando puede echar una mano,
sin miedo a parecer loco si no puede romper un ladrillo.
Conozco a un hombre que es un hombre.

¿No puedes a veces esbozar una sonrisa?
¿Crees que si pudieras, saldríamos corriendo a contarlo?
Sé que un día tu gran fachada de villano
se derrumbará mientras giran la llave en la puerta de tu celda.

Conozco a un hombre que antes era como tú,
pero abrió su corazón.
Nadie es realmente malo del todo,
He's just otra parte.

Cuando un hombre es un hombre
y bebe hasta emborracharse,
puede caer al suelo, puede llorar, no pediremos el precio.
Un hombre es un hombre.
He can fall he can stand
We won't love him more if he keeps his soul on the ice
Conozco a un hombre que es un hombre.

Cada uno de nosotros está buscando fama.
Es un guapetón,
es un garboso,
es un genio bajo presión.
Conozco a un hombre que podría apretarte las riendas.
Es un padre,
es un hermano,
es un rockero,
es un amante.

Es un hombre, es un hombre.
He doesn't act to a plan
He don't have to get hitched to a train in some muscle beach trick
A man is a man
When he can offer his hand
Not afraid of appearing insane if he can't break a brick
Be a man who's a man

You talk about your crazy affairs
You talk about your life as though it really mattered
You get attention 'cause you block the stairs
Bragging about some bottles you have shattered

Well I met a man who really lives
He really does it all
But what really matters is the heart he gives
He makes your talk seem small

When a man is a man
He doesn't act to a plan
He don't have to perform like John Wayne in some B-feature flick
A man is a man
When he can offer his hand
Not afraid of appearing insane if he can't break a brick
I know a man who's a man

Can't you sometimes crack a smile
Do you think if you did we would run and tell
I know one day your big villain style
Will collapse as they turn the key in the door of your cell

I know a man who was once like you
But he opened his heart
No one is really bad right through
He's just another part

When a man is a man
And he drinks 'til he's canned
He can drop to the floor, he can weep, we won't ask the price
A man is a man
He can fall he can stand
We won't love him more if he keeps his soul on the ice
I know a man who's a man

Every one of us is looking for fame
He's a looker
He's a dresser
He's a genius under pressure
I know a man who could tighten your rein
He's a father
He's a brother
He's a rocker
He's a lover

He's a man he's a man
He doesn't act to a plan
He don't have to get hitched to a train in some muscle beach trick
A man is a man
When he can offer his hand
Not afraid of appearing insane if he can't break a brick
Be a man who's a man

Una vez fue solo inocencia,
ideas descaradas e insolencia
pero nunca te saldrás con la tuya
con las cosas que dices hoy.

Pero puedes intentarlo si quieres.

¿No te avuergüenzas cuando lees las cosas preciosas que dijiste?
Hace muchos muchos años, cuando la vida parecía color rosa,
nadie jamás compartía tu cama,
nada jamás llenaba tu cabeza,
Except yourself and little Ted
And scary dreams that you were dead.
Don't you want to hide your face
When going through your teenage books
y lees the kind of crap you wrote
About "ban the bomb" and city crooks
Think about how long it took
To get over that sudden "Yuk"
When in the mirror you would look
Well now my son you're well in stook

Llora si quieres, llora si quieres.

Didn't you writhe in anger when you saw the man in his big car
¿No conducías un cacharro and a gallon didn't get you far
Should have been a famous star
But that ain't what you really are
You could shout your last hurrah

While they are propping up the bar
Maybe things were better then
Before you led a promised life
Rash commitments and heavy raps and left wing spiel all compromised
You fall in love with other's wives
Drive 'em nuts with empty lies
Angry porque perdiste el premio,
Forgot el color de sus ojos.

Llora si quieres, llora si quieres.

Let your tears flow, Let your past go

Don't you get embarrassed when you think about the way you were
Yesterday the day before when you were young with much to learn
Aren't you glad it's your last term
No more acting lowly worm
Puedes hacer que los tontos se retuerzan
cuando les dices cuánto ganas.
Don't you feel ashamed at all the bitterness you keep inside
Does your ego save your face "I had a go - I really tried"
Now you know your leaders lied
Does it stop you acting snide
Or are you still a boy that cried
Tears now surely long since dried.

Llora si quieres, llora si quieres.

Once it was just innocence
Brash ideas and insolence
But you will never get away
With the things you say today

But you can try if you want

Don't you get embarrassed when you read the precious things you said
Many many years ago when life appeared rosy red
No one ever shared your bed
Nothing ever filled your head
Except yourself and little Ted
And scary dreams that you were dead.
Don't you want to hide your face
When going through your teenage books
And read the kind of crap you wrote
About "ban the bomb" and city crooks
Think about how long it took
To get over that sudden "Yuk"
When in the mirror you would look
Well now my son you're well in stook

Cry if you want, cry if you want

Didn't you writhe in anger when you saw the man in his big car
Didn't you drive a banger and a gallon didn't get you far
Should have been a famous star
But that ain't what you really are
You could shout your last hurrah

While they are propping up the bar
Maybe things were better then
Before you led a promised life
Rash commitments and heavy raps and left wing spiel all compromised
You fall in love with other's wives
Drive 'em nuts with empty lies
Angry 'cause you lost the prize
Forgot the color of their eyes.

Cry if you want, cry if you want

Let your tears flow Let your past go

Don't you get embarrassed when you think about the way you were
Yesterday the day before when you were young with much to learn
Aren't you glad it's your last term
No more acting lowly worm
You can make the suckers squirm
When you tell them how much you earn
Don't you feel ashamed at all the bitterness you keep inside
Does your ego save your face "I had a go - I really tried"
Now you know your leaders lied
Does it stop you acting snide
Or are you still a boy that cried
Tears now surely long since dried.

Cry if you want, cry if you want
