¿Estamos exhalando
o inhalando?
¿Estamos dejando la vida
o siguiendo adelante?
¿Estamos exhalando
o inhalando?
¿Estamos inhalando?

We are tiny pieces
Falling now and settling
Like snowflake crystal
Building on the city street

Copos de nieve cayendo,
copos de nieve cayendo,
copos de nieve cayendo,
copos de nieve cayendo…

¿Somos las partes?
¿Somos el todo?
¿Somos los pensamientos?
¿Somos el alma?
Las partes de mí
And this is true
las partes de mí
te pertenecen a ti.

Exhalando,
inhalando.
Exhalando,
inhalando.
Exhalando,
inhalando.

Belong to you
And you
And you
And you...

Are we breathing out
Or breathing in
Are we leaving life
Or moving on
Are we breathing out
Or breathing in
Are we breathing in

We are tiny pieces
Falling now and settling
Like snowflake crystal
Building on the city street

Snowflakes falling
Snowflakes falling
Snowflakes falling
Snowflakes falling

Are we the parts
Are we the whole
Are we the thoughts
Are we the soul
The parts of me
And this is true
The parts of me
Belong to you

Breathing out
Breathing in
Breathing out
Breathing in
Breathing out
Breathin' in

Belong to you
And you
And you
And you...

¿Cómo te atreves you wear robes and reside
¿Cómo te atreves a cubrirte la cabeza para ocultar
tu rostro a Dios?

¿Cómo te atreves a sonreír detrás de tu barba
para ocultar el hecho de que tu corazón es objeto de miedo
And wave your rod

How dare you be the one to assess
Me in this godforsaken mess
You, a man in a purple dress
A man in a purple dress

When you place your frown
Between my God and prayer
However grand your crown
Or dignified your hair
Men above men all prats
In your high hats

You priest, you mullah so high
You pope, you wise rabbi
You're invisible to me
Like vapor from the sea

I lovingly mock you noble lords
We all dress up to grand awards
I do that as well

I dare condemn your fashion sense
At least you're not astride the fence
That wouldn't sell

But I will deliver this address
Your souls conditioned don't impress
You, a man in a purple dress
A man in a purple dress

How dare you wear robes and reside
How dare you cover your head to hide
Your face from God

How dare you smile from behind your beard
To hide the fact that your hearts are feared
And wave your rod

How dare you be the one to assess
Me in this godforsaken mess
You, a man in a purple dress
A man in a purple dress

When you place your frown
Between my God and prayer
However grand your crown
Or dignified your hair
Men above men all prats
In your high hats

You priest, you mullah so high
You pope, you wise rabbi
You're invisible to me
Like vapor from the sea

We all dress up to grand awards

I dare condemn your fashion sense
At least you're not astride the fence
That wouldn't sell

But I will deliver this address
Your souls conditioned don't impress
You, a man in a purple dress
A man in a purple dress

¡No somos lo suficientemente fuertes!
¡No somos lo suficientemente jóvenes!
We're not long enough,
Not cold enough
Emotionally we're not even old enough!

Late at night, we're in a video-game dream,
There is no lover in this numbered scene
We summon every childhood ghost we've seen,
Then suddenly we hear that Mike Post Theme,

Todo está bien (ba-do-ba)
We pray today (ba-ba-ba-do-ba)
Todo está bien (ba-do-ba)
We play today

Late at night, on the underground train,
Through endless suburbs in endless pain,
Then deep in the tunnel under the London rain,
Suddenly we hear Mike Post Again,

Everything is alright (ba-do-ba)
We pray today (ba-ba-ba-do-ba)
Everything is OK (ba-do-ba)
We play today

Vemos esas películas
que hacen llorar a los hombres.
Jóvenes amantes se besan,
luego pelean y mueren.
Empezamos a anhelar, trepamos la vid,
We have to face the truth sometime.

We're not strong enough!
We're not young enough!
We're not long enough,
Not cold enough
Emotionally we're not even old enough!

Well late at night we found our racing team,
We're faced with women and reality games,
Nos sentimos vivos,
nos sentimos nuevos y ciegos,
We're hearing Mike Post in the air this time

Everything is alright (ba-do-ba)
We pray today (ba-ba-ba-do-ba)
Everything is OK (ba-do-ba)
We play today

We watch those films,
That make men cry,
Young lovers kiss,
Then fight, y mueren.
Empezamos a añorar, trepamos a la vida,
tenemos que enfrentar la verdad en algún momento.

En el éter
I hang suspended
I wait for you
And I know you're near
In this high heaven
My world's upended
I feel no passion
I feel no fear

I'm dizzy with love
But you never appear
In the gloom of this room
Of this cell down here

I know this place
Isn't truly real
And that like my love
It expands and sprays
The light will find me
Will bend toward me
Yet I'm marooned
In a billion days

I'm drunk with you
And I can't explain
Who or where I am
Or how I'm in pain

Rocking and rocking me
Rhythm is shocking me
Just like a child in your fist
You are knocking me
Rocking and rocking
Autistic, caged I am
Rocking and rocking
And rocking enraged

I am drunk with you
y no puedo explicar
quién soy o dónde estoy
Or how I'm in pain

In the ether
In the ether

In the ether
I wait for you
Hanging in this mist
That I know's unreal
There is nothing there
There's no you, no me
Even though it's crazy
I still appeal

This is heavenly hell
I appear insane
I have no idea
Who there is to blame

In the ether
I hang suspended
I wait for you
And I know you're near
In this high heaven
My world's upended
I feel no passion
I feel no fear

I'm dizzy with love
But you never appear
In the gloom of this room
Of this cell down here

I know this place
Isn't truly real

You jumped out of an alley
With surprise in tus ojos de viuda negra
I was prepared to be unprepared
Been preparing for lights

Me enamoré de ti
Into a thousand parts I blew
Me enamoré de ti

I was caught in a corner
He recoiled from a broken romance
Taking breath after once undead
I had a firm grip on my pants

Me enamoré de ti
Through a hundred hearts you flew
Me enamoré de ti

Strange that when infatuation calls
We think we've got real love in our life
It pumps like the pressure in a station hall
As the express train thunders on by

I fell right in love with you
As the blood came blowing through
I fell right in love with you

Across the room, I saw your eyes
Black window looking back at me
You held a gun as children cried
You touched some wires, they shattered me

I was blown into a blue
There'd been nothing I could do
I fell right in love with you

I rose up to the station
Smelt your scent by the door
You stood waiting so patient
Just one wait, then no more

I fell right in love with you
There'd been nothing I could do
I fell right in love with you

Across the room, I saw your eyes
Black window looking back at me
You held a gun as children cried
You touched some wires, they shattered me

You jumped out of an alley
With surprise in your black widow's eyes
I was prepared to be unprepared
Been preparing for lights

I fell right in love with you
Into a thousand parts I blew
I fell right in love with you

I was caught in a corner
He recoiled from a broken romance
Taking breath after once undead

To ask if I have loved you
To know if I have served you
To find if I've obeyed you
To know if I've betrayed you

Two thousand years
Two thousand years
Two thousand years

Have I waited

Then find I can't be perfect
Not even a perfect snake
To know that we are hated
You suffer for my sake

Two thousand years

And so I have a chance to love
As you intended
You really lived and died for me
Is the waiting really ended

And when the world began
I'd been asleep forever
I opened one eye
'Twas then it was I
Got the whim to wake

And when the weight of space
Rolled like it was an ocean
One became one
padre e hijo
Watched the sunrise break

And as the ocean warmed
And from this dream we woke
One sang to greet the dawn
One pursed his lips and spoke

Despierta y escucha la música
Despierta y escucha la música tocar
Despierta y escucha la música
Despierta y escucha lo que la gente dice

I heard the heavens sing
Predicting Marty Robbins
I knew I'd find
Music and time
Were the perfect plan

I watched my son sail on
A little ship a-bobbin'
I had to grow
I needed to know
Exactly who I am

And as the ocean warmed
And from this dream we woke
One sang to greet the dawn
One pursed his lips and spoke

Despierta y escucha la música
Despierta y escucha la música tocar
Despierta y escucha la música
Despierta y escucha lo que la gente dice

Wake up and hear the music
Wake up and hear the music play
Wake up and hear the music
Wake up and hear what the people say

It's not enough
Whatever you give

Siempre necesitas
un poco más,
A little more man
A little more seed

No es suficiente,
no es suficiente,
Whatever I give
nunca es suficiente.

I gave you cash
I gave you love
All that I heard
Was "It's Not Enough"

I work so hard
It gets so tough
Whatever I give
Never feels like enough
It's not enough
It's not enough
Whatever I give
It's never enough

When I'm on my knees
I keep taking your stuff
Make sure that you know
It's never enough

You said you'd go as far
As to turn to my friend
Who once warned me of you
Said you'd hasten my end
Because I have lent
Every ounce of my juice
My essence is spent

You'll always want
A little more pink
I'll always need
A little more ink

It's not enough
It's not enough
Whatever I give
It's never enough

However I praise
However I puff
Though you may smile
It won't be enough

Right at the end
When I start to bluff
An' the lift's going down
An' I start acting tough

It's not enough
It's not enough
Whatever I give
It's never enough

I'll find someone else
To finish filling me up
I'll smile and admit
You were never quite enough

Like Brigitte Bardot
In Godard's Les Mepris
I can't love you enough
To make you complete
You appear in my dreams
With some new courtier
You need me there to see
What you need to convey

It's not enough
It's not enough
Whatever I give
It'll never be enough

No hysterical scene
You will never play rough
I'm the one who will scream
But it won't be enough

It's never enough
It's never enough

It's not enough
It's not enough
Whatever I give
It'll never be enough

I'll never hold you
How can I scold you?

I'm young in my camper van
The world feels old and new
I fear the future man
As I take in the view
Don't know where to head now
Give up? Go back?
My friends are all dead now
Or stifled in the sack

Sound round,
Feel the ground
Feel the pulse
que hemos encontrado.

Feel the spin
¿Dónde está el sueño

Ahora estoy en el éter
Look down at time
I see three children
Prepare to walk the line

I see them older
When life is done
I was a loser
At the game they won

Come on let's try
To pick up the peace
You and I
On our hands and knees
Come on let's try
To touch the Fleece
Come on let's try
To pick up the peace

(How do old people forget
That the wars we've seen
Are 'bout me longing for you
You longing for me?)

Tres niños del barrio,
tres vidas diferentes,
tres distintas formas de ser,
las sonrisas idénticas.

No somos iguales
pero podemos hablar
nos besamos y unimos nuestros brazos
damos un paseo.

We watch the tide ever way
Carry our ides through the sea
We hear the music
Remember being free

We are unholy trinity
And love forever
pero somos el mar,
somos el océano
We are the free
We are unholy trinity

Three kids from the neighborhood
Three different lives
Three different ways to be
The identical smiles

We're not the same
But we can talk
We kiss and link our arms
We take a walk

We watch the tide ever way
Carry our ides through the sea
We hear the music
Remember being free

We are unholy trinity
And love forever
But we are the sea
We are the ocean
We are the free

Si no me oyes, ¿cómo puedo decírtelo?
Si no escuchas, ¿por qué debería hablar?
Si eres indiferente, ¿cómo puedo comunicarme contigo?
Solo porque estés enojado, no asumas que soy débil.

Howling Wolf y old Link Wray
Dave Van Ronk y Doris Day
Bobby Darin, Brownie McGhee
Elvis, Buddy y Eddie C

La música me hace, me hace fuerte
Strong vibrations, make me long
Long for a place where I belong
You will find me en esta canción.

¿Quién cruzará la puerta del espejo?
¿Habrá música o habrá guerra?
¿Seremos ricos o seremos pobres?
¿Quién cruzará la puerta del espejo?

¿Quién cruzará la puerta del espejo?
¿Habrá música o habrá guerra?

Mil ángeles, un millón de niños,
Fire and fear in a suicide eye
Golden stairway to a Zeppelin heaven
Rolling thunder bajo el cielo de Nueva York.

We are here in celebration
This music's gonna make us strong

He hatched a mad old caper
He had a mad old plan

He'd turn us into music
He'd show us to our portals
He gathered wire and angels
To entertain immortals

Out on the endless wire

We found this pile of paper
Written by that ether man
He hatched a mad old caper
He had a mad old plan

He'd turn us into music
He'd show us to our portals
He gathered wire and angels
To entertain immortals

Out on the endless wire

¿Estamos exhalando
o inhalando?
¿Estamos dejando la vida
o siguiendo adelante?
¿Estamos exhalando
o inhalando?
¿Estamos inhalando?

We are tiny pieces
Falling now and settling
Like snowflake crystal
Building on the city street

Snowflakes falling
Snowflakes falling
Snowflakes falling
Snowflakes falling

¿Somos las partes?
¿Somos el todo?
¿Somos los pensamientos?
¿Somos las almas?
The parts of me
And this is true
The parts of me
Belong to you

Exhalando,
inhalando,
exhalando,
inhalando,
exhalando,
inhalando.

Belong to you
And you
And you
And you...

Are we breathing out
Or breathing in
Are we leaving life
Or moving on
Are we breathing out
Or breathing in
Are we breathing in

We are tiny pieces
Falling now and settling
Like snowflake crystal
Building on the city street

Snowflakes falling
Snowflakes falling
Snowflakes falling
Snowflakes falling

Are we the parts
Are we the whole
Are we the thoughts
Are we the soul
The parts of me
And this is true
The parts of me
Belong to you

Breathing out
Breathing in
Breathing out
Breathing in
Breathing out
Breathin' in

Belong to you
And you
And you
And you...

Reunimos a nuestra gente,
derribamos barreras,
encontramos un sueño para soñar,
We were the carriers

Nos hicimos ricos y famosos,
Papers at our door
We talked a load of crap
They wanted more

We got a hit

We got our folks together
We broke down barriers
We found a dream to dream
We were the carriers

We got rich and famous
Papers at our door
We talked a load of crap
They wanted more

We got a hit

People died where I performed
People cried when Glass deformed
Shots rang out as the singer yawned
La banda siguió tocando hasta el amanecer.

Mentiras y borrachos y drogas y tontos,
trucos and stunts disguise las herramientas.
Was the victim dead, was the blood in pools
Was this not part of show-biz rules?

Hicieron mi sueño realidad.

People died where I performed
People cried when Glass deformed
Shots rang out as the singer yawned
The band played on until the dawn

Lies and drunks and drugs and fools
Tricks and stunts disguise the tools
Was the victim dead, was the blood in pools
Was this not part of show-biz rules?

They made my dream come true

Si no me escuchas, ¿cómo puedo decírtelo?
Si no me haces caso, ¿por qué debería hablar?
Si eres indiferente, how can I reach you
Just 'cos you're angry don't assume I'm weak

Howling Wolf, and old Link Wray
Dave Van Ronk and Doris Day
Bobby Darin, Brownie McGhee
Elvis, Buddy and Eddie C.

Music makes me, makes me strong
Strong vibrations, make me long
Long for a place where I belong
You will find me in this song.

Who will walk through the mirror door
Will there be music, or will there be war
Will we be rich, or will we be poor
Who will walk through the mirror door

Who will walk through the mirror door
Will there be music, or will there be war
Will we be rich, or will we be poor
Who will walk through the mirror door

A thousand angels, a million children
Fire and fear in a suicide eye
Golden stairway to a Zeppelin heaven
Rolling thunder under New York sky

Frank 'n' Ella, Ray 'What'd I Say'
Johnny Cash and Johnnie Ray
Amadeus and Ludvig Van
Henry, Johann and the doo dah band.

We are here in celebration
This music's gonna make us strong
We climb up high, to the golden station
Curtis Mayfield ain't waiting long

Who will walk through the mirror door
Will there be music, or will there be war
Will we be rich, or will we be poor
Who will walk through the mirror door

Who will walk through the mirror door
Will there be music, or will there be war
Will we be rich, or will we be poor
Who will walk through the mirror door

Howling Wolf, and old Link Wray
Dave Van Ronk and Doris Day
Bobby Darin, Brownie McGhee
Elvis, Buddy and Eddie C.

Frank 'n' Ella, Ray 'What'd I Say'
Johnny Cash and Johnnie Ray

Keep on climbing

If you don't hear me, how can I tell you
If you don't listen, why should I speak
If you're indifferent, how can I reach you
Just 'cos you're angry don't assume I'm weak

¿Quieres tomar un te
conmigo en el teatro?
Lo hicimos todo,
¿no?

Saltamos todos los muros
Instinctively
desenredamos códigos
Ingeniously

Wired all the roads
So seamlessly
We made it work
But one of us failed
That makes it so sad
un gran sueño descarrilado.

Uno de nosotros - gone
Uno de nosotros - mad
One of us - me
All of us sad
All of us sad

Lean on my shoulder now
This story is done
It's getting colder now
A thousand songs

Still smolder now
We play them as one
We're older now
All of us sad
All of us free
Before we walk from this stage
Two of us

Will you have some tea
Will you have some tea
At the theater with me

Will you have some tea
At the theater with me?
We did it all
Didn't we?

Jumped every wall
Instinctively
Unraveled codes
Ingeniously

Wired all the roads
So seamlessly
We made it work
But one of us failed
That makes it so sad
A great dream derailed

One of us - gone
One of us - mad
One of us - me
All of us sad
All of us sad

Lean on my shoulder now
This story is done
It's getting colder now
A thousand songs

Still smolder now
We play them as one
We're older now
All of us sad
All of us free
Before we walk from this stage
Two of us

Will you have some tea
Will you have some tea
At the theater with me
