Al caer las hojas

Al caer las hojas, también caen los amantes,
Que debajo de los árboles reposan.
Caen en enredosos caminos qué tan sólo llevan a la tristeza aplastante,
Al caer las hojas, las lágrimas rebosan.

Al caer las hojas, rompen estruendosamente las olas,
La eterna arena, siempre errante,
En otro lugar, sueña existir a solas,
Con el perenne viento, para éste propósito, siempre sirviéndole de ayudante.

Al caer las hojas, los recuerdos afloran,
Al igual que los tiempos que fueron, y la añoranza de aquellos que jamás serán,
Como la niebla tarde en la mañana se disipa y hacia el éter sube
Los sueños así también lo harán,
Y ahí en la inmensidad, se perderán.

Al caer las hojas, también cae la tarde en costas desoladas,
Y con ese sentimiento de algún fin inminente en el futuro inmediato,
Desgraciadas decisiones son tomadas,
Y a devastadoras consecuencias, nuestras vidas son atadas.

Al caer las hojas, la funesta parca viene en nuestra búsqueda,
Los dados son tirados, y nuestras manos atadas,
Al comienzo del final de la vida, la muerte pacientemente, en el umbral, espera,
Sin nada que hacer, pues ya nuestra fortuna ha sido echada.

Al caer las hojas, no hay mas nada que hacer,
Ni pensar, ni pelear, ni llorar ni sonreír,
Sólo podemos morir.
Al caer las hojas, oh, Al caer las hojas!

The riverbanks

Along, the riverbanks,

I saw her face

For the very first time,

And while I remembered that moment,

The war bells called me and slowly chimed

For me.

Goodbye, my darling, I said to her,

Must be on my way, my company’s orders I just heard.

You stay here at home

And wait for my return

But if for some fatal reason I shall not come

Don’t waste your life mournin’ a clay cold corpse

Trust I’ll be resting safely in the Lord’s bosom

And know that I could be doing worst

Along, the riverbanks,

I saw her face

For the very first time,

And while I remembered that moment,

All around me my brothers in arms were dying.

My dear, I fear,

That this is the last letter I’ll write,

For tonight, the stars are shining,

Shining the brightest I’ve seen them in all my life,

I believe this is God’s way of sayin’

Prepare your last memory,

For soon, you’ll be joining me in heaven.

Along, the riverbanks,

I saw her face

For the very first time,

And while I remembered that moment,

A bullet pierced my heart

And tore it apart

With this last breath,

Before I’m taken by death,

I pray to you Lord,

Don’t take me with you

Leave me on the river banks,

And when it comes her time,

Deliver her to me

And there, we’ll lie, peacefully

Holding each other, lovingly

For the rest of eternity

Along, the riverbanks,

Where I saw her face

For the very first time.

put me out of my misery

It’s all about the thrill

Ain’t that right baby?

I’m kneeling here and at your will

Load your gun and aim it at me

Get ready, shoot to kill

And the empty casket will fall beside me

And I’ll be sent off on

The ultimate journey into the unknown,

Where all the things I’ve seen

All the things I was shown

All the places I’ve been

All the things I’ve done

Will fade away

A place where I’ll forget the way I was torn

Apart

Right from the start

Never stood a chance

To climb the wall that stands

Before me, so baby, put me out of my misery.

Is it any use?

To fight back and refuse

When you have to go left or right and you just don’t wanna choose

Does it make a difference?

When your life is all you’ve got left to lose

Your mere existence

I’ll kick the chair and feel the tightening of the noose

And I’ll be sent off on

Put me out of my misery

And I’ll be sent off on...
