Translation

El rito

The Rite

I am a profaner
I am defying time
You see, My transgression
Is make sure you're mine
The heaven knows My obsession
Is reaching its limits
The desert, at least today,
Doesn’t look so…
 
You usually spot me anywhere
And you know nothing is fortuitous
Your mysterious shape will hurt me
But every second gets me closer
 
Paralyzing me
I could never wait for you
And I don’t have to wait
On the altar for sacrifices
Only get inside your ritual
And decipher your enigma
Maybe not speak at all
Silence isn't a waste of time.
 
You usually spot me anywhere
And you know nothing is fortuitous
Your mysterious shape will hurt me
But every second gets me closer
 
Defying the rite
Destroying myths
 
You usually spot me anywhere
And you know nothing is fortuitous
Your mysterious shape will hurt me
But every second gets me closer
 
Defying the rite
Destroying myths
Defying the rite
Destroying myths

Gustavo Cerati is the most amazing poet I've ever heard, and today (9/4/14) he left this world. I want to dedicate my first translation to him. this is my favorite song from him. RIP
Maestro, tus letras han sido una inspiracion para mi. Descansa en paz.

You had marked this as a translation into Spanish, so it was autocorrected to being a transliteration. I've corrected it to being English.
Furthermore, please leave the source field empty if you have made the translation yourself.
