Flamenco, in British

Letra 1

today I lost my dignity

I will channel it into the wild spirit of the gypsy

who spits in the face of civilisation.

The black dog is visiting

but it will become a wolf

and howl at the moon.

Letra 2

‘we all die’

but we could

die a little death every day

it makes the living all the more

the dance in between the two

To never choose.

Letra 3

Tonight I dreamt

I was fighting a bull

And then I had dinner with your family

It was a struggle

The bull was wild

Unpredictable

Like you

Y mi vida

Y corazon

Almost it got the better of me

And I was frightened

But it didn’t win

I will tame it

If not you

Then my life

And the raging

Of my heart

This dark Spanish beast

Is all mine

This superego

Will be tamed

Letra 4

You give me nothing

I will give you nothing too

My heart can be as empty

As it can be full.

Letra 5

Mi alma es oscura,

como almendras secas

But the more I sink

Into the roots of me,

abandoned and splintered

they become stronger and nourished

When I love,

I love from oscuridad

I am in black

but I am on fire

And all that can come from this

Is a fire to light nothing

Blazing blazing blazing

In a desert

Perchance a lonely wanderer

Comes my way

In darkness

warmth is a welcome

Ven aqui

to my beating corazon

But it will burn you

And you will leave

Because I am not supposed to love

Only renew

those roots in darkness

I grow only for you

To shade you in the blossoms

And leaves that begin to grow

And here,

yo quedo

As constant and inconsistent as a memory

I am the end of a summer

I grow

from life just extinguished

This beating burning heart

In a universe

la oscuridad infinita.
