Daría cualquier cosa por amar
I would give anything to love
Daría cualquier cosa por poderte dar un poco más
I would give anything to be able to give you a little more
Más de lo que puedo dar
More than I can give
Pero a la vez quiero decirte que
But at the same time I want to tell you that
Te encargues de tu vida porque yo no soy mejor que vos
You take care of your life because I'm not better than you
Vos no sos mejor que yo
You're not better than me
Y aunque cambiemos de color las trincheras
And even if we change the color of the trenches
Y aunque cambiemos de lugar las banderas
And even if we change the place of the flags
Siempre es como la primera vez
It's always like the first time
Y mientras todo el mundo sigue bailando
And while the whole world keeps dancing
Se ven dos pibes que aún siguen buscando
You can see two kids still searching
Encontrarse por primera vez
To meet for the first time
¡Ha-ha-ha!
Ha-ha-ha!
Habiendo compartido aquel terror
Having shared that terror
Habiendo convivido en esta desolación total
Having lived through this total desolation
Ya no es necesario más
It's no longer necessary
Y aunque cambiemos de color las trincheras
And even if we change the color of the trenches
Y aunque cambiemos de lugar las banderas
And even if we change the place of the flags
Siempre es como la primera vez
It's always like the first time
Y mientras todo el mundo sigue bailando
And while everyone keeps dancing
Se ven dos pibes que aún siguen buscando
You see two kids still searching
Encontrarse por primera vez
To find each other for the first time
