Lyrics of Luciérnagas by Milo j in English
[Intro: Milo J]
I Rolled One Up To The Sky To See If Maybe You’d Look Over Here
I Know Your Dawn Died And Its Reason To Turn Orange
Because We Always Want To Go Back To Where We Were Once Happy
And We Forget That Living Is Being Now, It’s Being Here
[Chorus: Silvio Rodríguez & Milo J]
I Look At The Fireflies That Lived Deep Inside Your Heart
I See How They Dance In A Rosary, Used To Hearing Your Voice
If I Look At Your Face, I’m Born Again, Life Will Pass And You Won’t Return
I Don’t See Your Face In The Coffin, I See A Being Of Light Disappear
[Bridge: Silvio Rodríguez]
I’m Leaving
Disappear
Always (Tara-rara)
I’m Leaving
Disappear
Always
[Verse: Milo J]
I Already Feel Like A Paper Child Who Lives Afraid Of Forgetting
When You Blushed Those Cheeks With Crystal Feelings
At Night I Explode And Think About Ending Everything And Returning To Myself
Today Life Cries Because It Lost Another Beautiful Flower From Its Garden
[Refrain: Milo J]
I Look At The Fireflies That Lived Deep Inside Your Heart
I See How They Dance In A Rosary, Used To Hearing Your Voice
If I Look At Your Face, I’m Born Again, Life Will Pass And You Won’t Return
I Don’t See Your Face In The Coffin, I See A Being Of Light
[Verse 2: Silvio Rodríguez]
They Say That Human Beings Value Time When There’s None Left
But I’d Swear I Enjoyed Every Little Second There Was Alongside
Your Presence
That Broken But Faithful Essence That Your Absence Left
That Crazy Science Of Solving
[Outro: Milo J, Milo J & Silvio Rodríguez]
I See You, I Dream You And I Miss You (I’m Leaving)
I See You, I Dream You And I Miss You
I See You, I Dream You And I Miss You
(Always) I See You, I Dream You And I Miss You
I See You, I Dream You And I Miss You (I’m Leaving)
I See You, I Dream You And I Miss You
I See You, I Dream You And I Miss You
(Always) I See You, I Dream You And I Miss You
I See You, I Dream You, I Miss You
I See You, I Dream You, I Miss You
I See You, I Dream You, I Miss You
I See You, I Dream You, I Miss You
