Pienso que la vida es mmucho, de verdad
I think that life is so much, really
Que las cosas no son fáciles en esta sociedad
That things aren't easy in this society
Todo tiene un límite que corta toda nuestra libertad
Everything has a limit that cuts our freedom
¿Quién nos soltará?
Who will set us free?
Si todo es tan ilógico, muerde y se nos va
If everything is so illogical, it bites and slips away
En este palco escénico llamado humanidad
On this stage called humanity
Que nos devuelve el ánimo falto de ilusiones y piedad
That restores our spirits lacking hope and mercy
Y, ¿quién nos salvará?
And, who will save us?
Sueños vendados por la realidad
Dreams blindfolded by reality
Que quedan dentro sin salir
That remain inside without escaping
En esta meta infinita que está
In this endless goal that exists
Donde nadie pudo ir y nunca irá
Where no one could go and never will
¿Qué historia es? ¿Qué historia es?
What story is this? What story is this?
Grito de rabia y pregunto por qué
I scream in rage and I ask why
Nunca termina todo el dolor que se ve
The pain that is seen never seems to end
¿Qué historia es? Mas, la respuesta no sé
What story is this? But, I don't know the answer
Todo es una incógnita, no queda dignidad
Everything is a mystery, no dignity remains
El mal es cosa lógica por su normalidad
Evil is a logical thing due to its normality
Es como las promesas que mañana ya ninguno mantendrá
It's like the promises that tomorrow no one will keep
Mas, ¿quién se salvará?
But, who will be saved?
Trenes nocturnos en la oscuridad
Night trains in the darkness
Mas, dime, luego ¿dónde vas?
But tell me, then where are you going?
Lunas de plata que alguno quemó
Silver moons that someone burned
Con ponerlas en el sol, ¡yo digo no!
By putting them in the sun, I say no!
¿Qué historia es? ¿Qué historia es?
What story is this? What story is this?
Grito de rabia y pregunto por qué
Cry of rage and I ask why
Nunca termina todo este odio que ves
This hate you see never ends
Conseguiré
I will achieve
Que, con mi voz, tú me escuches tal vez
That, with my voice, you might hear me perhaps
En los confines
At the edges
Donde el dolor nunca esté
Where pain will never be
Donde el dolor nunca esté
Where pain will never be
¿Qué historia es? ¿Qué historia es?
What story is it? What story is it?
Alguien podrá responder
Someone might answer
En los confines
In the farthest reaches
Donde el dolor nunca esté
Where pain will never be
En los confines
In the farthest reaches
Donde el dolor nunca esté
Where pain will never be
