Black

Black, you are my enemyNegro, eres mi enemigo

And I cannot get close to theeY no puedo acercarme a ti

Our life is ruled by enmityNuestra vida está regida por la enemistad

And I can't weaken thatY no puedo debilitar eso

The only way that I can seeLa única forma que veo

Is to hold you close to meEs abrazarte cerca de mí

To love you for it's meant to beAmarte como debe ser

I weaken your attackDebilito tu ataque

Everything was lucked and downyTodo estaba tranquilo y suave

What was good was up from underLo bueno estaba por debajo

Until black, that awful tenderHasta que el negro, ese terrible tierno

Came and popped my sense of wonderVino y arruinó mi sentido de maravilla

All at once all eyes turned at himDe repente todos los ojos se volvieron hacia él

Leaving me an unwatched bodyDejándome como un cuerpo sin vigilancia

And it sagged, my body's rib cageY se desplomó, la caja torácica de mi cuerpo

Out from under ogler's studyFuera del estudio de los miradores

Black was decomposing quicklyEl negro se estaba descomponiendo rápidamente

This was found offensive to meEsto me resultaba ofensivo

His disrespect for life's proprietiesSu falta de respeto por las normas de la vida

Made me scared he would destroy meMe asustaba, pensaba que me destruiría

Black, you are my enemyNegro, eres mi enemigo

And I cannot get close to theeY no puedo acercarme a ti

Our life is ruled by enmityNuestra vida está regida por la enemistad

And I can't weaken thatY no puedo debilitar eso

The only way that I can seeLa única forma que veo

Is to hold you close to meEs abrazarte cerca de mí

To love you for it's meant to beAmarte como debe ser

I weaken your attackDebilito tu ataque

So I thought I'd try to cut himAsí que pensé en intentar cortarlo

Try to force him 'neath my levelIntentar forzarlo por debajo de mi nivel

The only way to equal to himLa única forma de igualarlo

Would be hit him with a shovelSería golpearlo con una pala

But to really rise above himPero para realmente superarlo

That would be the final evilEso sería la maldad final

So instead I asked the suckerAsí que en lugar de eso le pregunté al idiota

If he'd care to see my roomsSi le gustaría ver mis habitaciones

And as a friend and as a comradeY como amigo y camarada

And all the things that these impliedY todo lo que eso implicaba

I made him leave what it was that he hadLe hice dejar lo que tenía

Used to keep us unalliedPara mantenernos separados

Black, you are my enemyNegro, eres mi enemigo

And I cannot get close to theeY no puedo acercarme a ti

Our life is ruled by enmityNuestra vida está regida por la enemistad

And I can't weaken thatY no puedo debilitar eso

The only way that I can seeLa única forma que veo

Is to hold you close to meEs abrazarte cerca de mí

To love you for it's meant to beAmarte como debe ser

I weaken your attackDebilito tu ataque

Now black and I we are togetherAhora el negro y yo estamos juntos

Fairly just inseparableBastante inseparables

And in the terriblest of weatherY en el peor de los climas

Our bonds are incorruptibleNuestros lazos son incuestionables

Black, you are my enemyNegro, eres mi enemigo

And I cannot get close to theeY no puedo acercarme a ti

Our life is ruled by enmityNuestra vida está regida por la enemistad

And I can't weaken thatY no puedo debilitar eso

The only way that I can seeLa única forma que veo

Is to hold you close to meEs abrazarte cerca de mí

To love you for it's meant to beAmarte como debe ser

I weaken your attackDebilito tu ataque
