The bullet went into him His skin did part in two Skin that women had touched The bullet passed on through The bullet went into him It went its merry way Like an old grey dog On a fox's trail The bullet went into him His stomach filled with food Many fine meals he tasted there But the bullet passed on through The bullet went into him It went its merry way Like an old grey dog On a fox's trail The bullet went into him Through his heart with thoughts of you Where your kisses he inhaled The lies and the truth The bullet went into him Traveled up into his head Through thoughts of love and hate The living and the dead The bullet went into him It went its merry way Like an old grey dog On a fox's trail

La madrugada estalla como una estátua Como estátua de alas que se dispersan por la ciudad Y el mediodía cánta campana de agua Campana de agua de oro que nos prohibe la sóledad Y la noche levanta su copa larga Su larga copa larga, luna temprana por sobre el mar Pero para María no hay madrugada, Pero para María no hay mediodía, Pero para María ninguna luna, Alza su copa roja sobre las aguas... María no tiene tiempo (María Landó) De alzar los ojos María de alzar los ojos (María Landó) Rotos de sueño María rotos de sueño (María Landó) De andar sufriendo, María de andar sufriendo (María Landó) Sólo trabaja María sólo trabaja, sólotrabaja, sólo trabaja María sólo trabaja Y su trabajo es ajeno Pero para María no hay madrugada, Pero para María no hay mediodía, Pero para María ninguna luna, Alza su copa roja sobre las aguas María no tiene tiempo (María Landó) De alzar los ojos María de alzar los ojos (María Landó) Rotos de sueño María rotos de sueño (María Landó) De andar sufriendo, María de andar sufriendo (María Landó) Sólo trabaja María sólo trabaja, sólo trabaja, sólo trabaja Maria sólo trabaja Y su trabajo es ajeno María Landó, María Landó, María Landó, María Landó sólo trabaja, María Landó sólo trabaja, María Landó Sólo trabaja María Landó Sólo trabaja y su trabajo es ajeno...

That night at the old hotel I'd been learning you by heart Voices rising through the smoke Tables caving in I found it there in the room with you Whatever eternity is All these netted gems I found a life there in the room with you The sky is moonless And the sea surrounds me What does it matter, the story? If your absence remains I feel it right here What eternity becomes I'm not waiting for your love I'm not waiting for your love I watch each particle move Easy to say, it's taking everything to do I watch each particle move Pools of a moment widen through the air to you
