ENGLISH LYRICS (Letras de Español sigue)

The sun is warming
the sky is glowing
So I’ll lay here
waste the day here
waste away here
Naked on the sand
I’ll watch the magpie fly away

Where the eels eat me alive
Tear my flesh away
Where the eels eat me alive
But leave my bones my bones
I want to stay

Lay me down, crossing my hands
under the sun
Tuck me in, close my eyes
you are the one
Hold the sand, take it with me
it's in my palms

It grows inside me
you cut inside me
But I can’t feel it
now I can’t feel anything
I’d rather die, it is my right
Just leave me here on the sand

Where the eels eat me alive
Tear my pain away
Where the eels eat me alive
But leave my bones my bones
I want to stay

Lay me down, crossing my hands
under the sun
Tuck me in, close my eyes,
you are the one
Hold the sand, take it with me,
it's in my palms

Well the river runs deep
and the river runs fast
River please leave my
skeleton bones in the cracks
My bones my bones
my bones my bones my
My bones my bones
my bones my bones my

Hear me out
I want to stay
I want to stay
I want to stay



LETRAS DE ESPAÑOL

Urraca (Magpie)

El sol está calentando
el cielo está brillante
Así que me acostaré aquí
perdiendo el día aquí
malgastándolo aquí
Desnudo en la arena
Veré volar a la urraca

Donde las anguilas me comen vivo
Arrancando mi carne
Donde las anguilas me comen vivo
Pero dejan mis huesos mis huesos
Quiero quedarme

Acuéstame, cruzando mis manos
bajo el sol
Arrópame, cierra mis ojos
Eres el indicado
Sujeta la arena, se vendrá conmigo
esta en mis palmas

Crece dentro de mi
Me cortaste dentro
Pero no puedo sentirlo
ahora no puedo sentir nada
Prefiero morir, es mi derecho
Sólo déjame aquí en la arena

Donde las anguilas me comen vivo
Arrancan mi dolor
Donde las anguilas me comen vivo
Pero dejan mis huesos mis huesos
Quiero quedarme

Acuéstame, cruzando mis manos
bajo el sol
Arrópame, cierra mis ojos
Eres el indicado
Sujeta la arena, se vendrá conmigo
esta en mis palmas

El río corre profundo
y el río corre rápido
Río por favor deja
mis huesos de esqueleto en las grietas
Mis huesos mis huesos
mis huesos mis huesos mis
Mis huesos mis huesos
mis huesos mis huesos mis
Escúchame
Quiero quedarme
Quiero quedarme
Quiero quedarme
