Machete

Nunca me ha gustado la caja de cuchillos
I have never liked the box of knives
Dijiste que era una paradoja porque eres amable
You said was a paradox because you're kind
Pero resistió una infancia que te robó ciego
But withstood a childhood that robbed you blind
De amor que era seguro y así aprendiste a luchar
Of love that was safe and so you learned to fight

Y tomaste tu machete
And you took your machete
Y cortaste a través de las vides que me rodeaban
And you sliced through the vines that wrapped around me
Y tú dijiste, No sé lo que estoy haciendo
And you said, I don't know what I'm doing
Así que seguiré cortando
So I'll just keep on cutting
Vale la pena un poco de sangre para liberar tus brazos

Y hackeaste el bosque de los alrededores
And you hacked through the woods in the surrounding
Y dijiste: No sé adónde voy
And you said, I don't know where I'm going
Sólo sé que me dirijo de

Las cosas muertas se amontonan detrás de mí
The dead things piling up behind me

Y tú tallaste un camino hacia mi pecho y dijiste
And you carved out a path to my chest and you said: See
No hay nada que no valga la pena guardar

Has sentido tantas golpizas

Pero
But
Nada va a funcionar si me crees
Nothing's going to work if you believe me
Nada va a funcionar si me crees

Lo llevé a la costa el día que moriste

Me puse de pie en el muelle
I stood out on the dock
No importa lo mucho que lo intenté
No matter how hard I tried
No podía dejarlos entrar
I couldn't drop them in
Y me desmayé y lloré
And I collapsed and cried

Y es como si nunca hubieras muerto

Y tomaste, tu machete

Y dijiste boo adivina quién
And you said boo guess who
Pero en serio, belleza
But seriously, beauty
Dijiste, ¿ves?
You said, see?
Ahora tienes el taladro, ¿no?
You get the drill now don't you
No es un testamento o no lo hará
It's not a will or won't
No puedes seguir haciendo símbolos de la nada
You can't keep making symbols out of nothing

Así que tomé tu machete
So I took your machete
Y te corté la cabeza y te reíste
And I sliced off your head and you laughed
Y usted dijo ver
And you said see
Es como la antimateria
It's just like anti matter
Es la pluma mágica de Dumbo
It's dumbo's magic feather
