Episodio 1: Agua, Vida y Muerte

lyrics

Con la luz de un muelle,
y el caparazón de un caracol,
Hacen que la noche no se estrelle,
Al tener en mano el corazón

Cantan a deleite
y bailan al compás de un gran tambor
Roban risas que les abastece,
Al tener en mano el corazón

Carcajear para no llorar
El nivel del agua crece y crece
Las angustias nadan con los peces
Al tener en mano el corazón

Al final la vida se nos va,
Al igual todo dejan de bailar
Al final el tiempo se agota,
Qué más cae, disfrutemos lo que hay

Flotan como reyes, ofrendas que recalcan esplendor
Al reino de los que ya no florecen
La esperanza que nunca llegó, nunca llegó

Calcifican sueños, que en su tiempo todo conquisto
Noche a noche roban a sus dueños
La esperanza que nunca llego

Aprietan para no soltar
El océano abierto cede y cede
La certeza casi retrocede
La esperanza que nunca llegó, nunca llegó

--

By the light of a dock
And the shell of a snail
It prevents the night from crashing
When the heart is worn on the sleeves

They sing in delight
And dance to the beat of a great drum
They steal laughs that are supplied
When the heart is worn on the sleeves

They roar laughing so as not to cry
The water level grows and grows
The anguish swim with the fish
When the heart is worn on the sleeves

In the end, life leaves us
All the same, everyone stops dancing
In the end, time is up
What else can we do? Let’s enjoy what we have

They float like kings, offerings that emphasize the splendor
To the kingdom that no longer sprouts
The hope that never arrived

Calcified dreams, that in their time conquered everything
Night after night, they stole from their masters
The hope that never arrived

They squeeze, so as not to let go
The open ocean gives and gives
The certainty starts to back down
The hope that never arrived
