Encontré un recuerdo Del otoño entre las rosas Congelado en el hielo Donde no se sienten el tiempo y esas cosas Tuve, tuve un barrilete Lo dejé escaparse Me dejó aquí sola No tuve un año primavera No me importó perderla Gané mil mariposas De los besos en la lluvia No dejamos casi nada Mermelada de cenizas hay bajo la cama En ausencia del olvido Entre sabanas desiertas Sueño azul como el océano La mañana no despierta Otra vez haciendo olas Olas en la nada Esperando en mi ventana Ecos de la madrugada Golpean mi persiana Se acuestan en mi almohada En los árboles campanas Nos gritaban ya cansadas Que el momento era magia y la magia pasaba Encontré un recuerdo Del otoño, entre las rosas

Hay un lugar que se quedó vacío Hay un lugar que perdió el sentido Pero si pudiera volvería atrás y dejaría el tiempo envuelto en celofán y hay aire que baila en hojas de cristal Como si pudiera la luna caminar La tierra va haciéndose más fría Porque él está jugando a la escondida Y andará volando por la eternidad Libre, pues sus pies nadie podría alcanzar Ay! Aire que baila y alas dejan atrás Música que nada podría apagar Y si es para él, el que nunca se fue El que nunca se va, El que nunca se puede callar? Quizás para él, porque nunca se fue Porque nunca se va, porque nunca se podrá matar y hay aire que baila, sin armadura ya como si pudiera su destino cambiar Es para él porque me hizo creer que la luna podía caminar.

Kitty está en la ventana Donde siempre pega el sol Hace un momento yo era tan chiquita Ella sabe, ella tiene que saber En qué caja van sus besos y el espacio que no siento Hermana, hija, amiga, alma compañera Ay si lo supiera, ay si yo pudiera… Y si el último beso no supo ser espejo Ella sabe Ella tiene que saber Que no tengas frío yo tengo que saber Amiga, hija, hermana, no me olvidaré nada Hace un momento yo era tan chiquita Kitty está en la ventana

Heard he was a little fucker who never did care enough about what he said or did I would not believe it when he says he’d never leave you ´cause you’ve always been there for him Girl when will you see the waste of lip gloss this guy really is? Girl to him you’re just a little dirt under his big boy shoes I know sometimes you feel you’re nothing but meat The quake in your blood wants you to scream The door it might be closed girl but still there is a window and you see skies are blue on the other side First he tries to play it cool Talks and jokes the whole night through Yes he knows what everything’s about When he tires of that game he plays the victim oh so well To a cross he nails himself while doing jazz hands Say will you wait forever? I say it’s now or never You’re bound to cut your wrists with the tip of a star It’s sad and it’s boring Gets more than old, than dead And you don’t even remember if you ever loved him You gotta learn to run and I swear I’ll show you how I swear I’ll show you how sometime Girl I know sometimes you feel you’re nothing but meat Please, stop being me Stop being me.

Warm glass apples by the broken tree Leave your war outside, it ends with me They say everything ends with a fight But you fell for a vampire tonight We like how the city smells after the rain Except the morning after someone else’s babe has shot your babe Same painting, different room He was gonna wake up soon He was gonna wake up soon Taking flowers to the dead and gone when they’re the ones who really need a rose A kitten playing by himself, I thought of all his brothers taken one by one We like sunshine on a yellow wall Except the morning after someone else´s babe has shot your babe Same painting, different room He was gonna get old too He was gonna wake up soon

When you kiss me from the stars I forget this big black hole On the street the speeding cars Bring me the most beautiful song And if I wrote you a letter, I’d keep it under my skin ´Cause all I have are seasons Without you and pocket dreams You found me at the edge With a razor on my hand And showed me the horizon While you unzipped my pain Night stops by to rake my fears Underneath this cherry tree It’s as if all things were ships that sail you to me and they never stop the wheel no, not even if you die though it may be make-believe, do kiss me from the stars Of all the ghosts inside me, I need you the most Of all the lost inside me, I need you the most It won’t do to deny it, I’m in love with your ghost.

Dónde 05:10
En lo alto truena el hielo, cansado de murmurar A los alamos, el viento los hace dudar largos días araucarias valles encantados topa topa amancay notros coihues lupines y lagos plateados ñires lilium lavanda Nahuel Nahuel cassis alerce ciprés manzano y leña sauco maqui frambuesa Cielo nítido Noches púrpuras Amarillo retama Nieve que trae silencio Blancura pacífica En el bosque, los colores En la lluvia, música Dónde, las hadas dónde estarán? Dónde se esconderán? Dónde, las hadas dónde estarán?

Maybe Heaven 04:39
We know we are on our way to heaven But still we won’t take the chance I’m on my way to heaven And I´m so scared I wish I could slow down And wait till it’s alright But this road might lead to nowhere Time will come to an end Will we carry this load? And what will I do with it all If there is no place to hold you? Unless there really is a heaven Where we can meet again Bury this kiss with me forever Under the fallen leaves of years As darkness turns to dawn, I’m weak with love I wish you could stand up And reach for my hand now ´cause this road might lead to nowhere I’m on my way to heaven I’m on my way to you Find me in heaven Find me in heaven Find me in heaven if heaven exists But maybe heaven But maybe heaven Yes maybe heaven is just you and me

In the rain 03:14
Come and see what I have found in the rain Liquid crystals made of morning light Drops of stars and butterflies And how sweet your skin smells Who knows what has brought this merman to me Was it the season? Was it the sea? I just wanna kiss the back of your neck Drown in those eyes that cannot be explained Oh how I want all of his preciousness The world it hangs from his caress Thoughts they’ve been gathering in my head They don’t wanna sleep yet I just wanna kiss the back of his neck Drown in those eyes that cannot be explained Who knows what has brought this merman to me Was it the season? Or was it the sea? Or things found in the rain Liquid crystals made of morning light Drops of stars and butterflies Kisses for the back of his neck How strange. How strange These things you find in the rain.
