El ritmo del silencio [English translation]

Darkness my old friend

I want to converse with you,

it doesn't matter what I've seen

but it will always be inside of me,

a strange nightmare of a neon light

and the rhythm of silence.

In my restless dreams I saw

immense streets without end,

people walking through there,

people walking unable to find an end

and suddenly, I saw a light in the street that blinded me

amidst the silence.

And with that strong light

people talking without speaking

people without singing sang too,

something that I had never learned

because those people would never disrupt

the rhythm of silence.

I told them and yelled at them:

"The silence will come to be

and one day may come when

it will take over us"

but they wouldn't heed me,

they continued in silence.

And the people bowed

worshiping that light,

nothing could be heard

not even a murmur from the sea,

because everyone in my dream

I saw them all looking without finding

the rhythm of silence.
