Creakings (lyrics translation)

Listen first http://www.lyricsmania.com/crujidos_lyrics_nacho_vegas.html then read. Sorry, Nacho, I didn't mean to take away it's beauty.. it's really just an excuse to get you heard and to get me translating.

"If you don't have the strength to get out of here
I'll find it wherever I can and will go on without you"
You said something like this in a deep, resigned voice
I recorded your words and I got ready to begin

Day one, on foot, I begin walking

I have to hang on, I can do it.
Day two I make it to the end
Then comes day three and I ruin it again.
So starting all over again.

Day one, on foot, I mustn't think

It's already day two, Alprazolam.
I start to talk and don't make sense
Then comes day three and I ruin it again.


Don't ask why or why not,
Only I know the answer, and it's not pretty.


I'll move to another place
I'll leave this city
But now it's me
From where I want to escape.


Don't give me flowers where here there are irises and roses
I will want them one day when there is not one left
So, will you please me? and tell me, how will you do it?


Day one, on foot, what can I do
to find remains of faith?
Time passes painfully and slowly
And then in a moment I fuck it up again
Starting all over again


Day one, on foot, I feel myself thinking
How to avoid feeling, thinking,
Dying of thirst and drinking from the sea
And day two I fail again.


If I lie to you, it won't be out of meanness
These sorrows always come from clumsiness


Day one, on foot, what can I do
but hope to see it end?
The day finished with a creaking
I wake up hurt and I scream in loneliness

It's fucked, I know
But it's not dramatic
This is not so tragic
This isn't a drama, no
I'll tell a million things to cry over
This isn't a drama, no
This is not so tragic.
