Caminando por la calle
Walking down the street
A un anciano veo venir
I see an old man coming
Con bigotes largos blancos
With long white mustaches
Se me acerca para decir,
He approaches me to say,
Hoy un jet cayó del cielo
Today a jet fell from the sky
Haciendo un día gris
Making it a gray day
No se si soy el jet o el suelo
I don't know if I'm the jet or the ground
Solo se sintió el dolor...
Only the pain was felt...
Y duele querer seguir así
And it hurts to want to carry on like this
Y duele querer estar aquí
And it hurts to want to be here
Logro ver cien mil Siddhartas
I manage to see a hundred thousand Siddhartas
Con pasión y sin amor
With passion and without love
No es cuestión de huir
It’s not a matter of fleeing
Sino enfrentar nuestro temor
But facing our fear
Logro ver cien mil espejos
I manage to see a hundred thousand mirrors
Que no logran reflejar
That fail to reflect
Logro ver gente soñando
I manage to see people dreaming
Que no quiere despertar
Who don't want to wake up
Y duele querer vivir
And it hurts to want to live
Y duele querer morir aquí
And it hurts to want to die here
La hierba que arde en la ciudad
The grass that burns in the city
Vuelve normal o anormal
Return normal or abnormal
La moda triunfa en lo trivial
Fashion triumphs in the trivial
Ya no es buscar
It's no longer about searching
Sino imitar tu identidad
But about imitating your identity
Y duele querer seguir
And it hurts to want to continue
Y duele querer vivir aquí
And it hurts to want to live here
Logro ver cien mil Siddhartas
I can see a hundred thousand Siddhartas
Con pasión y sin amor
With passion and without love
No es cuestión de huir
It's not a matter of fleeing
Sino enfrentar nuestro temor
If not to face our fear
Logro ver cien mil espejos
I manage to see a hundred thousand mirrors
Que no logran reflejar
That cannot reflect
Logro ver gente soñando
I manage to see people dreaming
Que no quiere despertar
Who do not want to wake up
Y duele querer vivir
And it hurts to want to live
Y duele querer morir aquí
And it hurts to want to die here
