Psicosis from Ensayo '94 by Victoria Guerra
"Psicosis" was originaly left untitled since it was a fully improvised song. It is a "horror song" which depicts the mind of a schizofrenic person suffering alterations of its reality, feeling monsters in its room or under the bed ("ruiseñor" -nightingale or mockingbird- is not a bird, but an entity that appears in the dark or something else). Maybe the character in this story is a homeless person.

"Psicosis" originalmente no tenía título, pues es un tema totalmente improvisado. Es una canción de "terror" que retrata la mente de una persona esquizofrénica sufriendo alteraciones de su realidad, sintiendo monstruos en su habitación o debajo de su cama ("ruiseñor" no es un ave, sino una entidad que aparece en la obscuridad o algo más). Tal vez el personaje de esta historia sea una persona sin hogar.

Lyrics
Siempre que quiero escapar
me distrae algún lugar,
tengo miedo de encontrar la luz.
Siempre que quiero escapar
me distrae esa distancia,
tengo mucha, mucha gracia en que
la luz, la luz, de blues...
Hay una persona esperando bajo el puente
a que les demos más luz.
Hay una persona esperando bajo el puente
a que le demos más luz.
Y que jamás
tenga que quebrarme un poco,
tenga que esperar un poco más
para vivir en soledad.
Que jamás tenga que esperar un poco más
te sabrás
quién esperará,
qué esperará por ti
nunca sabrás quién va a esperar por ti
tengo la oportunidad de buscar más luz,
más luz.
¡Allá en la puerta
hay un ruiseñor!
¡Allá en la puerta
está esperando...!
¿Quién paga esta luz en la distancia,
esta luz en la distancia,
esta luz en la distancia?
¡Allá en la puerta
hay un ruiseñor!
¡Allá en la puerta
hay un ruiseñor
que está esperando
a que apague la luz!

Everytime I try to escape
I'm distracted by a place,
I'm afraid to find the light.
Everytime I want to escape
I'm distracted by the distance,
I have much, much grace in that
the light, the light, of blues...
There is a person waiting on the bridge
for us to give them more light.
There is a person waiting on the bridge
for us to give it more light.
And that I
never have to break a bit,
never have to wait a bit longer
to live in loneliness.
That I never have to wait a bit longer,
you will know
who will wait,
what's going to wait for you,
you never know who will wait for you.
You'll never know
who will wait for you;
I have the chance to look for more light,
more light.
There's a mockingbird
there, on the door!
It's waiting there,
on the door!
Who pays that light in the distance,
that light in the distance,
that light in the distance?
There's a mockingbird
there, on the door!
There's a nightingale
right on the door
that is just waiting
for you to turn the lights out!
