Please note:
I found several English translations of these lyrics on the net, but they all were not quite correct. Therefore I did my own translation which you can read on this page.
Since I started to learn Spanish only a few months ago, also my translation will not be "perfect" - but I tried my best.
If you spot any mistakes or faulty translations I would be happy if you sent me an e-mail (with suggestions for possible corrections).


1. Seawards

And finally I have found a way
that should guide my steps.
And tonight love waits for me
in your lips.
With every look, by God,
the memory burns inside of me
but I already have rejected
the rotten fruit forever.
I'm in the prison of desire.

And even if I shall dig
the grave in the earth of which I know that it waits for me,
never did anyone see me cry like this.
May a valuable moment end
and vulgarity follow it!
And to swim seawards
and being unable to escape.
I'm in the prison of desire.

and finally I have found a way
that should guide my steps.
And tonight love waits for me
in your lips.
With every look, by God,
the memory burns inside of me.
And to swim seawards
and not wanting to escape.
I'm in the prison of desire.
I'm in the prison of desire with you.
I'm in the prison of desire with you.


2. Long Ago

There are moments in which
I only remember a conversation.
Perhaps it was only bare words
but they came from the heart.

It's been long ago that I have seen you.
Perhaps I don't call you
because I don't dare to.
It's been long ago, that I have seen you
Will we have changed ourselves?
Perhaps to the worse?

There are moments in which
I only remember a revolution.
Savage fighters with dirty weapons,
what has become of it?

It's been long ago that I have seen you.
Perhaps I don't call you
because I don't dare to.
It's been long ago, that I have seen you
Will we have changed ourselves?
Perhaps to the worse?
Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps to the worse?
To the worse?
Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps, perhaps to the worse?

It's been long ago that I have seen you.
Perhaps I don't call you
because I don't dare to.
It's been long ago, that I have seen you
Will we have changed ourselves?
I think so.


3. Well Of Hope

I hid myself like a subterranean river
and cried like a child of inevitable fear.
A bad tempest caused me to
secretly seek a bit calmness in a dream.

Always searching for a well
to be able to breathe.
When I can see a footbridge from afar
I think I get crazy.

To turn myself away from the sounds that we listened to yesterday.
And I lose myself in a lonely oblivion.
And I will throw a whole, since Eve's times, created world,
down into a bottomless well.

Always searching for a well
to be able to breathe.
When I can see a footbridge from afar
I think I get crazy.


4. No More Tears

Silence! I have heard a voice.
It is possible that someone remembers me.
I cannot, tragic light.
I feel your hidden eyes in names,
so many names ...

Even if the air does not know what occurs,
the wind takes away what happens.

Silence! I heard a rumour.
I wanted to find myself an abyss.
The fear, just in time,
just one second poking in the void,
such a void ...

Even if the air does not know what occurs,
the wind will carry you away, carry you away.

I cannot hear you ever distant voice,
oh no, so far away.
I don't want to hear your ever broken voice
oh, no ...

I cannot sleep
with these tears falling on me.


5. Forgotten

Searching amongst the shadows
I move without course in the direction of light,
with an emaciated mind
and blinded by my fate.

Forgotten, forgotten, forgotten, forgotten, ...

I feel the ground under the patio.
Someone comes in through the window-
The dove flies low,
with danger and without vengeance.

Forgotten, forgotten, forgotten, forgotten.
Forgotten, forgotten ...

I am searching for my future
in a turbulence of cats.
One day I will find it,
I am searching amongst the shadows.

Forgotten, forgotten, forgotten, forgotten.
Forgotten, forgotten ...
Forgotten, forgotten ...


6. The Grey Rain

The grey rain disintegrates into memories
a drop glides, a second, a wish.
At least one word for you,
one word for you.

The grey rain exposes a mask
only for a kiss I should not remain silent.
At least one word for you,
one word for you.

The grey rain, nearly always a rejection,
that long is the waiting in my heart.
Keep me away from the danger, darling.
the hunger dies in the dark.
Keep me away from the danger, darling.
the hunger dies ...
in the dark.

At least one word for you,
one word for you.
At least one word for you,
one word I want to hear.


7. Poisonous Flower

I can't find words to express it
and sometimes I feel
that thinking
is a sign language ... without meaning.

I do not always understand what happens to me,
swaying I walk,
until I
collapse terribly drunken.

Leave me at least
a moment alone.
Leave me at least in peace.
This interval of time
which I was always loosing.
Perhaps I could be
in this valuable moment ...
like you, like you, like you, like you ...

I would rather explode from so much alcohol,
with your treacle of a poisonous flower,
and sell myself to another woman
for a further glass.

Leave me at least
a moment alone.
Leave me at least in peace.
This interval of time
which I was always loosing.
Perhaps I could be
in this valuable moment ...
like you, like you, like you, like you ...


8. Harvest Time

The gipsy-blood that runs inside of me,
mixes to a cocktail
of sweet flavour.
In the gipsy-blood that runs inside of me
burns a fire
from my hands directly to my heart.
And at daybreak, a soul of dust flies above me,
mixing up the tides.
Every morning a soul of dust
and I do not regret it.

Sooner or later
I will lose my chains.
Once in a lifetime
I have to find the night of harvest time
inside of me,
my lost soul
that I threw into the sea.

Promised land that belongs to us
by deeds, by art
and by the mercy of God.
Promised land that belongs to us
what does it matter
to be Morisco or Christian
if there is enough for both?
In the gipsy-blood that runs inside of me
burns a fire,
from my hands directly to my heart,
to my heart ...
Once in a lifetime
I have to find the night of harvest time
inside of me,
my lost soul
that I threw into the sea.


9. The Pond

The wild laws
disguise my escape.
The pond doesn't stop to expand.
The water level rises,
the sea
pours over and drowns me,
drowns me.
There's only sand.

Only at this moment,
the misunderstanding,
the pond, the pond.
The water level rises,
the sea
pours over and drowns me,
drowns me.
There's only sand.


10. The Sight Of Your Souls

And I lose myself amongst two signs
and the lies of the books.
How hypocritical they are!
With each sunrise they offer
to bury dead, to scatter life.
And I cannot remember
the sight of your souls
while sinning,
the sight of your souls
while sinning.

Even if the story would not be true
- what it is not -
my ignorance would condemn me,
to steal ...
... the time of yesterday ones.
To dare does not pay.
And I cannot remember
the sight of your souls
while sinning,
the sight of your souls
while sinning.

The sight ...!

And I cannot remember
the sight of your souls
while sinning,
the sight of your souls
while sinning.

I only understand signs
of madness of the witness.
How mad he is ...
Every evening he would like to
scatter death and to bury the living,
Alive!

And I cannot remember
the sight of your souls
while sinning,
the sight of your souls
while sinning.

The sight ...!
The sight ...!


11. The Island Of The Iguanas

The iguana ...


12. ... 16

Shattered memories ... of yesterday,
your usual laughter ... depresses me.
The dreams of an earlier cry of God
The signs were created ... for them both.

I don't know how I can serve the sentence,
I don't know how I can serve the sentence ...

The ruins of Memphis
and the tumult,
I could not understand
that reaction.
To not pull the trigger and kill
I wanted to prevent such a tension.
I believed in luck more
than in games of chance.
Every caution in love
is not enough.
Amongst the silk sheets,
you and me ...

I don't know how I can serve the sentence,
I don't know how I can serve the sentence ...
I don't know how I can serve the sentence.


13. Legendary Hero

In the dark
the voice always has no meaning.
The silence is all.
Hero in his own oblivion.

In his dead eyes
an eternal punishment.
The legendary hero
belongs to a dream
of a fate.

Locked up in the time
he has lost his courage
to escape from his cell,
the hero without hope.

In his dead eyes
an eternal punishment.
The legendary hero
belongs to a dream
of a fate.
