Esta va ser mi canción mas sencilla
This will be my simplest song
Que no hablará de nada y hablará de todo
That won't speak of nothing and will speak of everything
No es necesario mencionar la vida
It's not necessary to mention life
Para que se sienta su presencia en los ojos
For its presence to be felt in the eyes
Al final de la segunda luna
At the end of the second moon
Empecé a no hacer nada con las manos
I started doing nothing with my hands
Solo por un momento y entonces tuve ganas
Just for a moment and then I felt the urge
De hablar al ancho justo
To speak to the right width
De la palabra humana
Of the human word
De la palabra humana
Of the human word
Como si no tuviera ningún nombre
As if I had no name at all
Y no existiera historia de los hombres
And no history of men existed
Mas allá del atávico pasado, del presente y futuro deseado
Beyond the primal past, the desired present and future
Sin ningún compromiso con el mundo
With no commitment to the world
Como si todo fuese este segundo
As if everything were this very second
Cual si todo naciera de mis labios
As if everything were born from my lips
Cual si todo muriera de mis labios
As if everything died from my lips
Hay otra dimensión desconocida
There is another unknown dimension
Más fuerte que la muerte y que la vida
Stronger than death and life
Más sustanciada que el mundo y su belleza
More substantial than the world and its beauty
Que nace y muere siempre donde empieza
That is born and dies always where it begins
Estar como se está como se siente
To be as one is, as one feels
Es mas claro y negro que decirlo
It's clearer and darker than saying it
Que tratar de explicarlo por eso ya no sigo
Than trying to explain it, that's why I won't go on
Solo quise decir que es tremendo estar vivo
I just wanted to say that it's amazing to be alive
Que es tremendo estar vivo
That it's amazing to be alive
