| Split his ribs open using my bare hands
| Partí sus costillas con mis propias manos
|
| But I could not repair all of the damage
| Pero no pude reparar todo el daño
|
| Built of milk and flesh, so meek and mild
| Construido de leche y carne, tan manso y suave
|
| But I know if he’d lived, he’d have grown to be wild
| Pero sé que si hubiera vivido, habría llegado a ser salvaje
|
| They broke him and they beat him
| Lo rompieron y lo golpearon
|
| And break he did
| Y romper lo hizo
|
| They took him from me, my baby
| Me lo quitaron, mi bebe
|
| And break he did
| Y romper lo hizo
|
| His skin went white as chalk, his limbs turned soft and limp
| Su piel se volvió blanca como la tiza, sus miembros se volvieron suaves y flácidos.
|
| I cradled him through those moments of weakness
| Lo acuné en esos momentos de debilidad.
|
| And watched him drift between the worlds of living and dead
| Y lo vi a la deriva entre los mundos de los vivos y los muertos.
|
| Until he sunk down into the pavement
| Hasta que se hundió en el pavimento
|
| They broke him and they beat him
| Lo rompieron y lo golpearon
|
| And break he did
| Y romper lo hizo
|
| They took him from me, my baby
| Me lo quitaron, mi bebe
|
| And break he did
| Y romper lo hizo
|
| And he laid there for days
| Y se quedó allí durante días
|
| In the cold and the wind
| En el frio y el viento
|
| But I could not breathe life back in
| Pero no podía respirar la vida de nuevo
|
| I tried to fill up his lungs with the air from my own
| Traté de llenar sus pulmones con el aire de mi propio
|
| But he did not wake up again
| Pero no volvió a despertar
|
| No, he didn’t
| No, no lo hizo
|
| Split his ribs open using my bare hands
| Partí sus costillas con mis propias manos
|
| But I could not repair all of the damage | Pero no pude reparar todo el daño |
