Translation

Yo nací con mis vecinos

I was born with my neighbors

Cuando hablar era un peligro hallá en el 73

When speaking was a danger back in '73

Y crecí mirando un cielo, que ya no parece eterno

And I grew up looking at a sky that no longer seems eternal

Ni con hiervas ni con fé

Not with herbs nor with faith

Me enseñaron de pelao, que Dios solo muestra un lado

I was taught as a kid that God only shows one side

Y se reza en inglés

And prayers are said in English

De mi casa hasta unicentro, nunca tuve mucho tiempo

From my home to Unicentro, I never had much time

Para preguntar por quéee

To ask whyyy


Es la historia de mi generación

It's the story of my generation

Decime, decime, decime a donde vamos

Tell me, tell me, tell me where we're going

Mi ciudad ya no es la misma canción

My city is no longer the same song

Presiento que este cuento no acabo

I feel like this story didn't end


Se tomaron la embajada

They took the embassy

Se tomaron el palacio

They took the palace

Yo los ví en televisión

I saw them on television

Yo tomaba chocolisto

I had Chocolisto

Escuchaba a Lucho Herrera

I listened to Lucho Herrera

Coronarse campeón

Being crowned champion

Cuando ya me enamoraba, las muchachas escuchaban

When I was falling in love, the girls were listening

Disque rock en español

Supposedly rock in Spanish

Y las bombas reventaban mientras tanto relataban

And bombs were exploding while they narrated

Una gran constitución

A great constitution


Es la historia de mi generación

It's the story of my generation

Decime, decime, decime a donde vamos

Tell me, tell me, tell me where we're going

Mi ciudad ya no es la misma canción

My city is no longer the same song

Presiento que este cuento no acabo

I feel like this story didn't end


Yo nací con mis vecinos

I was born with my neighbors

Cuando hablar era un peligro

When speaking was a danger

Hallá en el 73

Back in '73

Y aunque pase mucho tiempo

And although much time passes

Juraremos no estar viejos

We'll swear not to be old

Para amarnos otra vez

To love each other again
