Alfa Rococo - "The Window"
extract Sunrise anchor

One more day to fight the cold
Tomorrow the wind will blow again
Both swirl and lightning that devastate

Too much discourse and too little
splinters

is the storm I dread
I do not want to go into combat
Between us I think the bridges
intersect
I can not stay with you

[Chorus:] I close the
window before the storm

I leave before the coming devastation
I close the window before the storm
I'm leaving and I will not

One more day to I fight with you
And the rain falls again
The tide never again fall
it carry you, now eclipse

too long falls
lightning and the fire that still takes the
I'm trying to sew up wounds
Never again will close

[Chorus:] I
closes the window before I leave

storm before coming havoc
I close the window before the storm I'm leaving and
I will not

Alfa Rococo - "La Ventana"
extraido of Sunrise anchor
A día más
para luchar contra el frío
Tomorrow the wind will blow again So many swirls and lightning

ravaging

Too many speeches and too few flashes

is the storm that
afraid I will not go into battle
among us believe that the bridges are separated

No I can stay longer

you [Chorus:]
I close the window before the storm I'm

before the arrival of the devastation
I close the window before the storm
I leave and not come back another day


fighting with you and the rain falls again
lower tide
I never will, vanish

ago is lowered too much lightning
and the fire that is reborn yet
The wound I'm trying to sew
never closes

[Chorus:]
I close the window before the storm I'm

before
arrival of the devastation I close the window before the storm
again I'm not
