PS... I think she is a widow and she killed her husband who might have been mean to her... and went to the good old church to confess.

I posted a translation of the Spanish lyrics and now its gone. God damn you, SM. Anyways, it sounds like Cedric is saying "dormiendo en pas" not "volviendo en pas." It makes more sense since the next line says "abre los ojos" which means "open your eyes" and dormiendo means sleeping. Just a thought, nothing really important.

Shalawesome, you're an idiot. Why waste so much time in writing that, only to leave out the humor? That wasn't even remotely funny.

This is one of the coolest songs that TMV has! Spanish music has never sounded so sweet. The verse/chorus (whatever) with "Blackmailed, she fell off every mountian" is so ghostly and mysterious, it practicallly lifts you into a realm beyond your own. As does all TMV music. THIS BAND IS THE GREATEST BAND EVER!!!!!!!! ...and has the best drummer!

1 more thing: He says "quebro el espejo" after "mis lagrimas" which pretty much means "My tears broke the mirror."

LYRICS: ******* L'via, hija de miranda Tú apeyido se cambio L'via, sin ojos me quieres dar Una historia sin mi madre Solo tengo que decirte El dolor de noche dice Solo se quedo el vestido Le lave la sangre TRANSLATION: ************ Elvis, hobos deliver your mail. You ape! See my umbrella. Elvis, sin eyes me likey dragons. One history sins my mom. Alone I tango! What donkey? The dollar roll your night dice. Alone, see cheese in my vest. French words love the singer. LYRICS: ******* L'via, no dejes de descansar En la calle caminas ¿quien te ve persegir? L'via, te quieren matar Dientes de machete, cabeza de gallo L'via, volviendo en pas Abre los ojos, tú no cambiaras L'via, soñando de venganza Yo te lo juro Lo van a pagar TRANSLATION: ************ Elvis, no dancing on the desk! You'll get SARS! And the road Camaros. Whose TV persecutes? Elvis, they want your mother. Dentists of machete, head of guy who partners with ernest to make wine. Elvis, your Volvo cannot pass. Open your eyes, you're not in your Camaro. Elvis, you don't want to see the Hulk get angry. Yo, the lol juror. LOL, your van is a pagar. LYRICS: ******* Blackmail she fell off every mountain The ones they tightly wrapped in tape In hurried razors snag the guilty As it made the best mistakes And with every body that I find And with every claymore that they mine I won't forget who I'm looking for Oh mother help me, I'm looking for TRANSLATION: ************ -can't quite figure this part out- LYRICS: ******* L'via, hija de miranda Tú apeyido se cambio L'via, sin ojos me quieres dar Una historia sin mi madre Solo tengo que decirte El dolor de noche dice Solo se quedo el vestido Le lave la sangre TRANSLATION: ************ Elvis, daughter of Miranda, Your ape sees campers. Elvis, without eyes my quarters are dark. One history sinner my mom. Alone I tango. What? Descartes. The Dolorean of night is dicey. Alone I see cheese in my vest. Lee, Leave the wine. LYRICS: ******* Solo tengo una hora Y me duermo terminado Por veinte cinco años pasaron Siguen los cuerpos aqui temblando Tomé la sangre, tomé el cuerpo Mis lagrimas... TRANSLATION: ************ Alone I tango for an hour. Why me, dermatologist? Terminator. Poor vents five anus pastor. Signature of the LAPD cop with a tambourine. To me, the wine. To me, the carpool. Miss immigrant. _THE END_ [en Espanol] _EL END-O_ man, Spanish is a funny language.

Wait, doesn't the tobacco kill her husband. In The Widow it seems they make that pretty clear. Who did she kill?

L'Via isn't the Widow, she is Frances the Mute's sister, and Vismund (the protegonist)'s aunt.

It's funny to read things about Spanish people and Spanish language from people who don't know where is Spain, and I bet they don't know how to speak or read English properly.
