lyrics

Oye lo que suena
Es una cadena

Tus manos como metal sobre mis muñecos
No siento sangre jamás
Tu rostro es máscara de una mariposa
Tu memoria me apreta
Un poquito mas

Quita la cadena
Pago con mi pena cada respirar
Quita la cadena
Tu mirada me condena
Quita la cadena

Atado un mundo gris como llegue yo aqui
Pintado por monotonia
Aislado sin ver el sol sin conocer los ojos
Silencio me acerca un poquito mas

Perdoname perdoname o sueltame...

Quita la cadena
Pago con mi pena cada respirar
Quita la cadena
Tu mirada me condena
Quita la cadena

Perdoname perdoname o sueltame...

--- English translation ---

Listen, it's the sound of a chain

Your hands, like metal around my wrists
I can't feel the blood anymore
Your face is a mask, a butterfly
Your memory tightens around me a little bit more

Take away this chain
I pay with shame in every breath
Take away this chain
Your look condemns me
Take away this chain

Tied up in a gray world, how did I get here
Painted by monotony
Isolated, no sight of the sun, without knowing anyone's eyes
Silence stays with me just a little bit longer

Forgive me, forgive me or let me go...

Take away this chain
I pay with shame in every breath
Take away this chain
Your look condemns me
Take away this chain

Forgive me, forgive me or let me go...
