Dondé Están Los Ladrones (1998)

Blind Deaf and Dumb (Ciega Sordomuda)

He finishes the arguement with me,
and the methodology,
each time that it appears in front
of me your anatomy,
because this love doesn't understand,
from the hints, nor the reasons,
It feeds off pretexts,
and is missing its pants,
this love doesn't allow me,
to be on foot,
because even it has broken,
my heels,
although he raised me I'll go back down,
if you approach me nothing's useful,
for the useless thing,

CHORUS
brutal, blind, deaf and dumb
clumsy, odd, stubborn,
it's all that I've been,
You've converted me,
into something that doesn't do,
Anything else but love you,
I think of you day and night,
and I don't know how to forget you,

how many times have I tried,
to burn you in my memory,
and although I say no more,
it's again the same story,
because this love always knows how to,
make me breath deep,
it leaves me alone,
to fight with the planet

if I could exorcise you from my voice,
if I could escape myself from your name,
If only I could wrench out my heart...
And disguise myself so that I wouldn't feel this over again.

CHORUS

rings under the eyes, skinny, ugly, tousled,
clumsy, foolish, slow, touchy, confused,
completey out of control,
you knew but you told me nothing,
you see that i've returned,
my head is a nest,
where only you take shelter,
you don't listen to me,
look what you've done to me

If You Go (Si Te Vas)

tell me what you'll do after seeing her body the first time,
when your mischievous curiosity dies,
when you memorize the parts of her body,
and decide again to comeback,
I won't be here in the same place
if she doesn't have more than a pair of fingers in front,
and you discover she doesn't brush her teeth well,
if she takes the little cents you have,
and later she leaves you alone like she wants,

I know you'll come back come one day,
in which she tore you to pieces,
without pillows to cry on,
but if you have decided,
and you don't want me anymore,
nothing now doesn't matter,
because without you,
the world wouldn't be the same to me

CHORUS
if you go, if you go, if you leave,
my sky becomes gray,
if you go, if you go, and you don't,
have to come for me,
if you go, if you go, and change me,
for that witch, piece of trash,
don't come back anymore,
because I won't be here

all new brooms always sweep well,
later you're going to see the bristles be gone,
when her wrinkles fold her skin,
and her cellulite covers her legs

you'll come back from your hell,
with a tail between you legs,
imploring one more time,
but for that, then,
i'll be here a million nights,
far from this enormous city,
far from you,
the world wouldn't be the same to me

Flies In The House (Moscas En La Casa)

My days without you are so dark,
so long, so gray,
my days without you are so absurd,
so bitter, so tough,
my days without you,
my days without you don't have nights,
if someone appears,
it's useless to sleep,
my days without you are an excess,
the hours don't have a beginning, or end
so short of air,
so filled with nothing,
useless junk,
trash on the floor,
flies in the house

my days without you are like a sky,
without silvery moons,
nor traces of the sun,
my days without you are only an echo,
that always repeats,
the same song

so short of air,
so filled with nothing,
useless junk,
trash on the floor,
flies in the house

stumble on the rocks,
still I keep waiting that you'll return to me,
still I keep looking in the faces of the old,
bits of a child,
hunting reasons that make me believe,
that still I meet with life,
biting my fingernails,
drowing in my tears,
missing you so much,

my days without,
oh how they hurt, my days without youTop Of The Page

I Don't Believe (No Creo)

Chorus:
Only you know well who I am
and for that my heart is yours
Only you "double my right"
and for that I will go where you want
I don't believe that the sea will someday lose the taste of salt,
I still don't believe in me,
I don't believe in chance
I only believe in your blue smile
In your look of crystal
In the kisses that you give me
And in all that you say

Chorus

If I say too much
Don't set to the side
That nobody will love you more than I do.

I don't believe in Venus nor in Mars
I don't believe in Karl Marx
I don't believe in Jean-Paul Sartre
I don't believe in Brian Weiss

I only believe in your blue smile
In your look of crystal
The kisses that you give me
And they say what they say

Chorus

If I say too much
Don't set to the side
That nobody will love you more than I do.

Oh I want to be your sky
Of your mouth, a song
Of your wings, always to be in the wind

Your pinch of salt
A ray of sun
That goes to where you say you want it to go
That you are my slip, my happy country
My spring
My stairway to heaven
If I continue to walk here and I walk with you
No one will be able to tell you not to

Chorus

Your pinch of salt
A ray of sun
That goes where you want me to
That you are my slip, my happy country
My spring
My stairway to heaven
If I continue to walk here and I walk with you
No one will be able to tell you not to

If I say too much
Don't set to the side
That nobody will love you more than I do.Top Of The Page

Inevitable or Unavoidable (Inevitable)

if it is a question to admit
I don't know how to prepare coffee
and I don't understand soccer
I think that one time I was unfaithful
I'm a bad player at Parcheesi
and I never use a watch
and to be frank nobody
thinks of you like I do
although she gives you the same
if it is a question to admit
I never sleep before 10
never take a bath on sundays
the truth is that I also
cry once a month
mainly when it's cold
for me nothing's easy
you should know
me so well
and without you everything is so boring
the sky is tired of seeing
rain fall
and each day that passes by
seems like yesterday
I don't find something
forgetting because
loving you is inevitable

I always knew it was better
when it's necessary to speak of two
I should be the first revealing
you'll already know the situation
here everything is worse
but at least I'm still breathing
you don't have to say it
you're not going to come back
I know you well
I will already look for what makes me
the sky is tired of seeing
rain fall
and each day that passes by
seems like yesterday
i don't find something
forgetting because
loving you is inevitable or unavoidable
I always knew it was better
when it's necessary to speak of two
I should be the first revealing.Top Of The Page

Eight Day(Octavo Día)

the eighth God after so much work
to free tensions already revising
he said everything's fine and it's and hour of resting
and he left for a walk in given space

who could have imagined that the same God upon returning
would find everything in a hellish disorder
and that one more he will be unemployed
joining the rate annually growing without stopping

for that then who has seen him
alone in the streets and traffic
he's waiting for somebody patient
one who's calm
and can converse

while so much of this happens the world rotates and rotates
without being able to stop
and here below some manage us as chess pieces
I'm not the idiot's class
that allows you to convince, but I say the truth
and until a blind man can see it

if a lack of occupation
or excessive solitude
God didn't resist more
and left to another place
it would be our perdition
there would not be another remedy more
to adore Michael Jackson
Bill Clinton or Tarzan

it's more difficult to be a king without a crown
who is a more normal person
poor God doesn't appear in the magazines
The chosen one is not a model nor an artist nor a real family

while so much of this happens the world rotates and rotates
without being able to stop
and here below some manage us as chess pieces
I'm not the idiot's class
that allows you to convince, but I say the truth
and until a blind man can see itTop Of The Page

That You Return (Que Vuelvas)

and what am I going to do with my selective lack of care
and what with my frustrated dream of learning to cook
and what am I going to do with Sundays
and holidays, no plan is appropriate
when I try not to think
perhaps it will tell me where you go
now that I'm not
tell me where to go
now that you aren't here with me
what will I invent to tell the entire world
if they see me fallen to the ground
without more desire to fly
how do I hide this pair of broken wings
and the soles of my boots
tired of walking
perhaps it will tell me where you've go
now that i'm not here
tell me where to go
now that you aren't here
chorus:

I want you to return
that you are claiming
my lips you haven't kissed in a long time
I want you to come back
already you see that even my hands
from not touching you so much, they ache, they ache

and what am I going to do if my chin hits the floor
and although I tried my smile doesn't come naturally
if they have already seen it with the last glance
a few pounds less
and some tears of more
perhaps it will tell me where you go
now that I'm not here
tell me where to go
now that you aren't here

chorus:

I want you to return
that you are claiming
my lips you haven't kissed in a long time
I want you to come back
if you knew that you were for me
and always wanted to be here
I still don't understand how, when, where
or why I lost you, and I also don't know how to live like thisTop Of The Page

You (Tú)

I award you my waist
and my lips for when you want to kiss
I give you my madness
and the few neurons that already remain
my faded shoes
in my diary I write
until I give up all my sighs
but I don't leave anymore

because you are my sun
the faith that I live with
the power of my voice
the feet that I walk with
you are my love
my desires of laughing
the goodbye that I won't know how to say
because I won't be able to live without you

if one day you decide
to leave again from here
I would close each door
so that you can't ever leave

I give you my silences
I give you nose
until I give you my bones
please stay here

because you are my sun
the faith that I live with
the power of my voice
the feet that I walk with
you are my love
my desires of laughing
the goodbye that I won't know how to say
because I won't be able to live without youTop Of The Page

Where Are The Theives? (Dónde Están Los Ladrones?)

they've seen them around here
they've seen them on the roofs
snooping around Paris
convicting in the courts
with the powdered nose
in a tie or in blue jeans
You've seen them everywhere
without anything else to say
where are the thieves
where is the murderer
perhaps there flailing
in the neighbor's patio
and what happens if they are
and what happens if I am
the one who plays this guitar
or the one who sings this song
the one who sings this song
you've seen them on their knees
sitting or squatting
stopped giving lessons
in all the positions
preaching in the churches
until offering concerts
You've seen them in all the bars
distributing ministries
where are the thieves
where is the murderer
perhaps there flailing
in the neighbor's patio
and what happens if they are
and what happens if I am
the one who plays this guitar
or the one who sings this song
the one who sings this song Top Of The Page

Shadow Of You (Sombra De Ti)

I'm going to leave
that my guitar says all what I
don't know how to say for me
or maybe it should wait
to the insult of the clock
I have just planned my end
the smiles hurt so much
it costs the world to breathe
it's that not having you here makes me bad

it follows me around
the shadow of you
they keep rotating around there
all the words that we said
and the kisses we didn't give
as always
today I am
thinking of you

you should know
that there are pieces of your mouth unintentionally
wanted around here
and that I trip everyday without thinking
with an old memory more
and some new gray history
if I can't be with you
I can no longer be with you
every time it becomes harder to be happy

it follows me around
the shadow of you
they keep rotating around there
all the words that we said
and the kisses we didn't give
as always
today I am
thinking of you

all the words that we said
and the kisses we didn't give
as always
today I am
thinking of youTop Of The Page

Eyes Like These (Ojos Así)

yesterday I knew a sky without sun
and a man without ground
a priest in prison
and a sad song without an owner
ya he, ya he, ya la he
and I knew your black eyes
ya he, ya he, ya la he
and now I know that
I can't live without them
I asked to the heavens only one wish
that in your eyes I can live
I've traveled the entire world
and a thing I'm coming to say to you
I traveled from Bahrain until Beirut
I went from the north until the south pole
and I didn't finds eyes like those
like the ones you have
rabboussamai fikarrajaii
fi ainaiha aralhayati
ati ilaika min haza lkaaouni
arjouka labbi labbi nidai***
I went from the north until the south pole
and I didn't finds eyes like those
like the ones you have
yesterday I saw a passing woman
underneath her camel
a salt river, a boat
abandoned in the desert
ya he, ya he, ya la he
and I saw your black eyes
ya he, ya he, ya la he
and now I know that
I can't live without them
I asked to the heavens only one wish
that in your eyes I can live
I've traveled the entire world
and a thing I'm coming to say to you
I traveled from Bahrain until Beirut
I went from the north until the south pole
and I didn't finds eyes like those
like the ones you have Top Of The Page

:::Here are the translations for the Arabic Verse :::

ya he ya he ya la he rabboussamai fikarrajaii

Min Bahrain ela Beirut

Let's go, let's go
God of the sky, the granter
In her eyes I see my life
I come to you from this world
Please God grant my request..
