Fuego fatuo English translation

You said I will always love you
And a plane sped across the skies
You said you deserve the best
White albatrosses were devouring our faith

Now I say it couldn't have been.
Lit darts in the fish's mouth
Now I think, yes, it could have been.
Everything is as relative as herring in a barrel

I tell myself now, that was good.
I tell myself now, that was good.

Will-o'-the-wisp, will-o'-the-wisp
The fire was brief but it was good.
Will-o'-the-wisp, will-o'-the-wisp
The fire was brief but it was good.

We were celebrating the seconds
Every minute was always a gift
Celebrate Scorpion Day
We celebrated frugality

You said I will always love you
Bats were flying around the industrial park.
You said you deserve the best
Dissident poets wrote backwards

Now I say it couldn't have been.
Lit darts in the fish's mouth
Now I think it could have been
When I read my letters and I love you again

I tell myself now, that was good.
Now I tell myself, it was good.

Will-o'-the-wisp, will-o'-the-wisp
The fire was brief but it was good.
Will-o'-the-wisp, will-o'-the-wisp
Friendly fire, but that's where I messed up

Guests without a spoon in front of the cake
Bullfighters without capes, already in the ring
We traveled proudly in paper boats
Cheerful and radiant like a donkey in a cabriole
