Con un soplo haría tormentas
With a breath, I would create storms
Que nos inunden de nirvana

Construiría con las cruces
I would build with the crosses
De los muertos inocentes
Of the innocent dead
Espejos que reflejen al culpable
Mirrors that reflect the guilty one
Harta de caer de bruces
Weary of falling flat on my face
Tropezando en lo inminente

Me rehúso a que el amor sea desechable
I refuse to let love be disposable
Si yo tuviese los millones

El talento, la fuerza, el encanto

De los amos y señores

Que deciden mientras canto

Pero soy solo otro habitante
But I'm just another inhabitant
Y a quién le importa cuando lloro
And who cares when I cry
Si hay genios ignorantes

Y analfabetas con tesoros
And illiterates with treasures
Si pudiera enviarle luz
If I could send light
A los niños de las sombras

Y ponerle corazón al poderoso
And give heart to the powerful
Pero soy solo una guitarra
But I'm just a guitar
Y unas manos diminutas
And tiny hands
Y una voz que el viento vence en las mañanas
And a voice that the wind overcomes in the mornings
Si fuese inmensa y poderosa
If I were immense and powerful
Uniría las religiones

Batallón de mariposas

Llegando a Dios sin divisiones

Si fuese Dios, yo como él

Gastaría la ocasión

En unirnos piel a piel

Corazón con corazón

En unirnos piel a piel

Corazón con corazón
