Planeth Earth - Barrie Gledden

Planet Earth, by Barrie Gledden

Maybe everything is right with the world
it's just that we can't get off it.
Maybe everything is wrong in the world
it's just we're too proud to see it.

In the dream that I've seen,
In the day that has gone,
On the flow of the wind in the ocean.
And the black of the night,
and the fake of the moonlight,
and the breath of the
one who doesn't care.

In the dream that I've seen,
and alone in the wishes,
and I followed it up,
and I followed it home.
And the bleed to the one
and the fall to the ghost.

In the dream that I've seen,
In the dream that I've seen.

Maybe everything is right with the world
it's just that we can't get off it.
Maybe everything is wrong in the world
it's just we're too proud to see it.

In the dream that I've seen
on the flow of the wind in the ocean,
and the black of the night
and the fake of the moonlight.
And the bleed to the one
and the fall to the ghost.

In the dream that I've seen,
In the dream that I've seen.

Maybe everything is right with the world,
it's just that we can't get off it.

(Best song ever!)

Loneliness

Vacío. Tengo un vacío que no se puede llenar.
La ansiedad crece, y me consume minuto a minuto.
Tengo ganas de correr, y ganas de meterme en un pozo.
Quisiera entrar en el agua congelada y que mi corazón se haga de hielo, pero también quiero escuchar sus latidos resonando en su pecho cálido.
Me siento de frente, de espalda, de costado, de cabeza, y no encuentro la posición correcta.
Me paro, doy dos vueltas y las piernas se me duermen.
Abro los oídos a los ladridos, a la música, a la aguja del reloj. Perturban mi paz.
Se me tensan los músculos de la cara, aprieto los dientes, cierro los ojos y busco el interruptor de apagado.
Se nubla mi vista, me desplomo sobre el colchón lleno de cables que transmiten impulsos eléctricos.
Un escalofrío me recorre el cuerpo, siento que me falta el aire.
¿Qué es ese veneno que me ha atacado? ¿Cuál es la ponzoña que destruye mi corazón poco a poco?
Un bostezo. Tengo sueño, pero no puedo dormir.
Siento que la sangre no llega a irrigar todas las células de mi cuerpo.
Busco desesperadamente un suelo sobre el cual pisar, pero sólo encuentro una burbuja de aire que no se ve, que no se puede rasgar, de la que no se puede escapar. 
Mi caída es inminente, y permanente, parece que no tiene final.
Hay un foco de dolor en mi cabeza, y no encuentro el método para no pensar.
Al final ya no siento nada, el vacío envolvió todo y no dejó rastros, ni siquiera yo existo.

Té para tres - Soda Stereo

Té para tres

Las tazas sobre el mantel,
la lluvia derramada.
Un poco de miel...
Un poco de miel
no basta.

El eclipse no fue parcial
y cegó nuestras miradas.
Te vi que llorabas,
te vi que llorabas por él.

Té para tres.

Un sorbo de distracción,
buscando descifrarnos.
No hay nada mejor,
no hay nada mejor
que casa.

Té para tres.

Tea for three.

The cups on the tablecloth,
the rain spilled.
A little of honey...
A little of honey
is not enough.

The eclipse was not partial
and it blinded our looks.
I saw you crying,
I saw you crying
for him.

Tea for three.

A sip of distraction,
seeking to decipher ourselves.
There's nothing better,
there's nothing better
than home.

Tea for three.

Refugees

Quiero un poco de paz

I want some peace

Standing in the hallway

You showed me your back

and your hair

and I just couldn't

stop the beating of my heart.

You showed me your smile

and your voice,

and I couldn't do otherwise

but fall in love.

I gave you my soul,

but you said no.

I gave you all,

but you said no.

What's left in this world?

If not to be loved,

what's the next step in the way?

if not die, then run away.

It is impossible for me though,

because I can't live without you,

because my life is nothing

if you don't love me.

This is just the origin

of the end.

For your endless rejection

I blame myself.

You won't feel me leaving,

it will be as if I didn't exist,

and you won't realize

that once I was by your side.

Not even a goodbye,

or a wink tonight;

just avoiding,

so you will say nothing.

Even a word

could stop me going,

but you stay silent,

staring while standing.

I decided not to lose myself,

wasting my time on someone

who does not care

of what's around her.
