Translation
I've bargained away many things
I've bargained away many things, the parapets' edges
of my inevitables and of my indomitables
I dedicated my nights and weighed my wrists
on counters shining with countless puddles.
The sorrows without low-tide, with lies widespread,
the marshes of promises, no, I don't want them anymore,
just as it goes away, the taste of surviving
and those alibis, I'm shaking off the habit
[Chorus:]
And to intoxicate my thirsty veins
I offer y'all my shirt, I pull my trousers down,
I'm nude like a worm, and I'm filling with winter
this crazy temptation that freezes my shivers
The lighthouses without light, I struck out
and engraved on my flesh, on hopeless skin
there's the ink of my chimeras, that of your kisses,
dried on the ruts of my identity
The running away without frontiers, the dull refuges
the alphabet of the breviary, no, I don't want them anymore,
I confess to my beer all these misapprehensions,
I admit to the feast my paradise lost
(chorus)
I've bargained away many things, the angel of my freedom
of my inevitables and of my indomitables
so that the corners of heaven, the charitable ones
seem in my eyes as an unreachable sunrise.
My shreds of tears, my chipped heart
the breath and it's failure, no, I don't want them anymore,
I leaving my absence behind, I'm reborn in silence
I totally cling to the saint on the keychain.
(chorus)
And to intoxicate my thirsty veins
I offer y'all my shirt inebriated with liberty
I forsake the winter, I abandon it completely
this crazy temptation that freezes my shivers
