Asilos Magdalena: Spanish Version
Enfermo llegué.
Y para componerme, ando de vago.
No me des tu obediencia,
porque te enseño mi cuerpo de lobo,
donde la piel estuvo debil
con una hambre que no me deje cantar.
En mi vida...
El oscuro me mantiene.
Cuando yo te vi
en la lluvia, me prometiste
tu sangre.
Yo no me quedo.
En mi vida...
El oscuro me mantiene.
Y cuando yo te vi
en la lluvia, me prometiste
tu sangre.
Yo no me quedo.
Ya que caíste de este mundo.
Cargo una navaja,
Dios mío, para ti.
¿Cuántas veces me mordiste?
¿Y cuántas veces yo me fui?
Ya no estoy enamorado
con tus mentiras.
En el Infierno me duermo,
porque el Infierno
es la única verdad.
En mi vida...
El oscuro me mantiene.
Y cuando yo te vi
en la lluvia, me prometiste
tu sangre.
Yo no me quedo.
En mi vida...
El oscuro me mantiene.
Y cuando yo te vi
en la lluvia, me prometiste
tu sangre.
Yo no me quedo.
Estrella de la Mañana,
Samael te persigo a ti.
Y si me quedo sin alas,
además me muero por ti.----
Magdalene Asylum: English Version
I arrived sick.
And to remake myself, I walk as a drifter.
Don't give me your obedience,
because I'll show you my body of a wolf
where my skin was weak
with a hunger that won't let me sing.
In my life...
The darkness maintains me.
And when I saw you
in the rain, you promised me
your blood.
I do not remain.
In my life...
The darkness maintains me.
And when I saw you
in the rain, you promised me
your blood.
I do not remain.
Now that you fell off this world.
I carry a blade,
my God, for you.
How many times did you bite me?
And how many times did I go?
I am no longer in love
with your lies.
In Hell I sleep,
because Hell
is the only truth.
In my life...
The darkness maintains me.
And when I saw you
in the rain, you promised me
your blood.
I do not remain.
In my life...
The darkness maintains me.
And when I saw you
in the rain, you promised me
your blood.
I do not remain.Morning Star ,
Samael, I pursue you.
And if I'm left without wings,
I'd die for you as well.
