Lila Downs & Caetano Veloso - Burn It Blue
Burn this house
Burn it blue
Heart running on empty
So lost without you
But the night sky blooms with fire
And the burning bed floats higher
And she's free to fly
Woman so weary
Spread your broken wings
Fly free as the swallow sings
Come to the firework
See the dark lady smiles
She burns
And the night sky blooms with fire
And the burning bed floats higher
And she's free to fly
Burn this night Black and blue
So cold in the morning
So cold without you
And the night sky blooms with fire
(Y la noche que se encendia)
And the burning bed floats higher
(Y la cama que lleva)
And she's free to fly
(A volar)
And all of the dark days
Painted in dark grey hues
They fade with the dream of you
Wrapped in red velvet
Dancing the night away
I burn
Midnight blue
Spread those wings
Fly free with the swallows
Fly
One with the wind
Y él es flama que se lleva
Y es un pá¡jaro a volar
Y es un pá¡jaro a volar
En la noche que se encendió
(...)
Luces del cielo
And the night sky blooms with fire
(Y eres flama que se lleva)
And the burning bed floats higher
(Y eres un pajaro a volar)
And she's free to fly
(Y eres un pajaro a volar)
Just a swallow in the sky
(Y eres la noche que se encendia)
...
much brighter
(bla bla bla y la oscuridad)
Burn this house
Burn it blue
Heart running on empty
So lost without you
