Somos dos
We are two
Bolsas de té
Tea bags
En una
In one
Misma taza de fe
Same cup of faith
En una
In one
Misma taza de fe
Same cup of faith
En una
In one
Misma taza de fe
Same cup of faith
Escupo al suelo
I spit on the ground
Y miro al cielo
And gaze at the sky
Y de esta forma
And in this way
Me desvelo
I can't sleep
Me desvelo
I can't sleep
Me desvelo
I can't sleep
Me desvelo
I can't sleep
Me desvelo
I can't sleep
Nunca, tal vez
Never, perhaps
Nos dijo el viento
The wind told us
El secreto de venir
The secret of coming
Y alejarse sin sufrir
And drifting away without suffering
Nunca aprendimos de un salmón
We never learned from a salmon
A luchar con pasión
To fight with passion
Por los caudales
For the currents
De los ideales
Of ideals
De los ideales
Of ideals
No me mires así
Don't look at me like that
No fui yo quien apagó las luces
I wasn't the one who turned off the lights
Escupo al suelo
I spit on the ground
Y miro al cielo
And I gaze at the sky
Y de esta forma
And in this way
Me desvelo
I stay awake
Me desvelo
I stay awake
Me desvelo
I stay awake
Me desvelo
I stay awake
Me desvelo
I stay awake
Sé feliz
Be happy
Me dijo una lombriz
A worm told me
Que tal vez
That maybe
Hoy tengas que morir
Today you might have to die
Deja de
Stop
Llorar por el ayer
Cry for yesterday
Deja de
Stop
Correr si apenas tú me puedes ver
Running if you can hardly see me
Es extraño amanecer
It's strange to wake up
Sientes algo raro otra vez
Do you feel something weird again?
Y hoy el sol alumbra como lo hizo ayer
And today the sun shines just like it did yesterday
Y hace 500 años cuando no soñabas con nacer
And 500 years ago when you didn't dream of being born
Y el odio destruyó la palabra amor
And hatred destroyed the word love
Cuando lavaron sus pecados con las balas de mi Dios
When they washed away their sins with the bullets of my God
Si hoy el tiempo llega
If today time arrives
Tal vez me llevará
Maybe it will take me away
Tal vez regreses
Maybe you'll come back
Tal vez te quedarás
Maybe you'll stay
Sé feliz
Be happy
Me dijo una lombriz
A worm told me
Que tal vez
That maybe
Hoy tengas que morir
Today you have to face death
Deja de
Stop
Llorar por el ayer
Crying for yesterday
Deja de
Stop
Correr si apenas tú me puedes ver
Run if you can barely see me
Puedes ver
You can see
