Hoy me lastimé
Para ver si aún siento
Me concentro en el dolor
Lo único que es real
La aguja abre un agujero
El viejo y conocido escozor
Intento eliminarlo todo
Pero recuerdo todo
¿Qué me he convertido
Mi más dulce amigo?
Todos los que conozco se van al final
Y podrías tenerlo todo
Mi imperio de polvo
Te decepcionaré
Te haré sufrir
Llevo esta corona de espinas
Sobre mi trono de mentiras
Lleno de pensamientos rotos
Que no puedo reparar
Bajo las manchas del tiempo
Los sentimientos desaparecen
Tú eres alguien más
Yo sigo aquí
¿Qué me he convertido
Mi más dulce amigo?
Todos los que conozco se van al final
Y podrías tenerlo todo
Mi imperio de polvo
Te decepcionaré
Te haré sufrir
Si pudiera empezar de nuevo
A un millón de millas de aquí
Me mantendría a mí mismo
Encontraría un camino

Oggi mi sono fatto male
Per vedere se sento ancora
Mi concentro sul dolore
L'unica cosa reale
L'ago apre un buco
La vecchia puntura familiare
Provo a cancellare tutto
Ma ricordo ogni cosa
Cosa sono diventato
Il mio dolce amico?
Tutti quelli che conosco alla fine se ne vanno
E potresti avere tutto
Il mio impero di polvere
Ti deluderò
Ti farò soffrire
Indosso questa corona di spine
Sul mio trono di bugie
Pieno di pensieri spezzati
Che non posso riparare
Sotto le macchie del tempo
I sentimenti svaniscono
Tu sei qualcun altro
Io sono ancora qui
Cosa sono diventato
Il mio dolce amico?
Tutti quelli che conosco alla fine se ne vanno
E potresti avere tutto
Il mio impero di polvere
Ti deluderò
Ti farò soffrire
Se potessi ricominciare
A un milione di miglia di distanza
Mi terrei stretto
Troverei un modo

Eu me machuquei hoje
Pra ver se ainda consigo sentir
Eu me concentro na dor
A única coisa que é real
A agulha rasga um buraco
Aquela picada velha e familiar
Tento matar tudo isso
Mas eu me lembro de tudo
No que eu me tornei
Meu amigo mais querido?
Todo mundo que eu conheço vai embora no fim
E você poderia ter tudo
Meu império de lama
Eu vou te decepcionar
Eu vou te machucar
Eu uso essa coroa de espinhos
Na minha cadeira de mentiroso
Cheia de pensamentos partidos
Que eu não consigo consertar
Sob as marcas do tempo
Os sentimentos vão desaparecendo
Você é uma outra pessoa
Eu ainda estou bem aqui
No que eu me tornei
Meu amigo mais querido?
Todo mundo que eu conheço vai embora no fim
E você poderia ter tudo
Meu império de lama
Eu vou te decepcionar
Eu vou te machucar
Se eu pudesse começar de novo
A um milhão de quilômetros daqui
Eu me preservaria
Eu ia encontrar um jeito

The story behind
The song "Hurt" belongs to the American industrial rock band Nine Inch Nails and is part of their 1994 studio album, The Downward Spiral, where it appears as the last track. It was composed by Trent Reznor and released as a promotional single on April 17, 1995, directly to radio stations. In 1996, the song was nominated for a Grammy in the category of Best Rock Song. In 2020, Kerrang! and Billboard magazines ranked it second and third, respectively, on their lists of the best Nine Inch Nails songs. In 2002, country singer Johnny Cash recorded a cover of "Hurt" that was acclaimed both commercially and critically. The associated music video is considered one of the greatest of all time by publications such as NME. Reznor praised Cash's rendition, highlighting its "sincerity and meaning", going so far as to state that "that song is no longer mine". The song's lyrics reference self-harm and heroin addiction, although its overall meaning is a matter of debate. Some listeners interpret the song as acting as a suicide note from the protagonist due to his depression, while others argue that it describes the difficult process of finding a reason to live despite pain and depression, without necessarily being related to the narrative of The Downward Spiral. The original Nine Inch Nails music video for "Hurt" is a live performance recorded before a concert in Omaha, Nebraska, on February 13, 1995, and is available on Closure and on the DualDisc reissue of The Downward Spiral. The audio portion can be found on the UK version of Further Down the Spiral. The Closure version differs slightly from the video originally broadcast on MTV, as it uses an uncensored audio track and shows alternative views of the audience and the performance at various moments. For the filming of the video, a screen was placed in front of the band on stage, onto which various images were projected to add visual symbolism in keeping with the song's theme, such as war atrocities, a nuclear bomb test, survivors of the Battle of Stalingrad, a snake looking at the camera, and a time-lapse film of a fox decomposing in reverse. A spotlight illuminated Reznor so he could be seen through the images. Compared to live performances on future tours, this version more closely resembles the studio recording due to its use of the song's original samples. There are also official live recordings on later releases such as And All that Could Have Been and Beside You in Time. Each version features distinct instrumentation reflecting the band members of the respective eras. During the Dissonance tour in 1995, when Nine Inch Nails served as the opening act for David Bowie on his Outside tour, Bowie performed "Hurt" in a duet with Reznor, backed by an original melody and rhythm. This served as the conclusion of the dual act that opened each of Bowie's shows. On the Fragility tour, the progression was performed by Robin Finck on acoustic guitar instead of piano. Since the 2005–06 Live: With Teeth tour, Nine Inch Nails has performed "Hurt" in a more subdued style, with only Reznor on vocals until the final chorus, when the rest of the band joins in. The song returned to its original form during the Lights In The Sky tour in 2008, before reverting to the more subdued style on the 2009 Wave Goodbye tour. "Hurt" was used in the season finale of the second season of the adult animated science fiction series Rick and Morty, accompanying the series of events in which Rick turns himself in to the intergalactic authorities, allowing his family to return to Earth while simultaneously abandoning them.
