“With a Single Hit” Lyrics
Style: Heavy Metal
Country: Mexico
Listen at YouTube (live performance)
Translation:
Hay canciones que se escriben
Con las lágrimas
Y se cantan con la sangre
En la garganta.
Es porque el corazón explota
A golpe de la distancia.
There are songs that are written
With tears
And are sung with blood
In the throat.
It’s because the heart explodes,
Blown up from a distance.
Hay fantasmas que maldicen el presente
Y flagelan sin temor a la tristeza.
Ahogando de un solo golpe
Lo que te queda de existencia.
There are ghosts that damn the present
And whip without fear of sadness.
Drowning with a single punch
What is left of your existence.
-Coda-
De un solo golpe
La vida te matan.
De un solo golpe
Te pudren el alma.
With a single hit
Your life they kill.
With a single hit
They rot your soul.
De un solo golpe
Te come el infierno.
De un solo golpe
Te niegan el cielo.
With a single hit
Hell eats you up.
With a single hit
They deny heaven to you.
Maldito sea el incansable tiempo
Que escapa de la misericordia,
Que desvanece el sentimiento,
Que desgracia tu memoria.
Damned be the untireable time
That escapes from mercy,
That fades out emotions,
That disgraces your memory.
Las promesas viven en el viento
Cuando se tiene esclavizado el recuerdo.
Se vuelven tormentas locas
Que agitan el deseo.
Promises live in the wind
When memory is held enslaved.
They turn into crazy torments
That agitate desire.
[Repeat from coda]

Maldito sea el incansable tiempo
Damned be the untireable time
