Como un ataúd — English translation

Fito y Fitipaldis · spanish → English

What "Como un ataúd" means

A quiet, melancholy song about numbing a painful truth. The narrator hides away a place that hurt too much to look at, and questions where a loved one has put their smile, since silence is the only answer. With reality offering no clear answers, he says imagination is all that is left: when the line between dream and fact blurs, you have to invent the ending to your own story. Ignorance of the heart feels easier than clear-eyed pain.

Quién sabe dónde
Who knows where
Guardaste la sonrisa que hoy escondes
You buried the smile you're hiding today
Es siempre tu silencio el que responde
It's always your silence that speaks for you
Porque tú nunca quieres hablar
Because you never want to talk
