La Máquina Lyrics Translation (from “Música Para Abrir El Cielo: Act 2”)

maye describes drifting through a city, waiting for a call that speeds her up more than a traffic light. She admits to knowing the relationship is toxic, but chooses to play ‘the bad girl, the villain of this story’ (prefiero ser la mala la villana de este cuento). The songwriter leans into the chaos, wanting to run away with this person and simply disappear into the night.

manejando por la ciudadDriving aimlessly through the city,
esperando a q hora vaswaiting to see when you’ll
a llamarme hoyfinally call me today,
ver tu nombre en mi celularand seeing your name light up my phone
es lo q me hace aceleraris what truly makes me speed up,
más q el cemafororacing faster than the changing lights.
take me away from hereTake me away from here,
i wanna run into your armsI wanna run straight into your arms,
so we can disappearso we can just disappear
into the night don’t let me gointo the night, please don’t let me go.
i know that i had said i probably shouldn’tI know I said I probably shouldn’t,
to let you go and let you come for meletting you leave just so you can come back for me.

ya no quiero ser un angelito caído del cieloI don’t want to play the flawless, fallen angel anymore.
prefiero ser la mala la villana de este cuentoI’d rather embrace being the bad girl, the villain of this story.
otra vez en la máquinaHere I am, trapped in the machine again,
sin saber pa donde andarwith absolutely no idea where to turn.
dime q pongo en el mapa pa llegarTell me what to punch into the map just to reach you.
i know that i had said i probably shouldn’tI know I said I probably shouldn’t,
to let you go and let you come for meletting you leave just so you can come back for me.
oh and i know and i know and i knowOh, and I know, I know, I know
you’re no good for methat you’re no good for me.
let it go and let it come to meLet it go, and let it all come to me.
