Translation

Arranca, vamos, como veamos: Damos

Start, let's go, as we see: We give

Cuando llegamos extendiendo manos

When we arrive extending hands

Sonriendo estamos, locos quedamos

Smiling we are, crazy we stay

Somos trece de familia y sonamos

We are thirteen as a family, and we dream

Cuida que en nada dependas de exceso

Make sure you don't depend on excess

Frena el sentido si es de más travieso

Stop the sense if it's too mischievous

Ser transparente te transporta ileso

Being transparent transports you unharmed

No se fracasa si existe un comienzo

There's no failure if there's a beginning


Ha, ¿que? ¿quieres hacer?

Ha, what? Do you want to do?

Del inicio a la meta existen problemas comunes

From the start to the goal, there are common problems

Preguntas y respuestas revueltas

Questions and answers mixed up

Ha! Cuestión de ver la correcta

Ha! It's a matter of finding the right one


No se fracasa si existe un comienzo

There's no failure if there's a beginning

Ser transparente te transporta ileso

Being transparent transports you unharmed


Entonces ya acomodadas, empiezan las andadas

So now, settled, the journeys begin

Caídas falladas entre que metas alcanzadas y ya

Failed falls between achieved goals and now

Localizadas es focalizarlas

Located is to focus on them


Abarca tramos, donde seamos unamos

It covers sections, where we join

Cuando movemos también avanzamos

When we move, we also advance

Viviendo amamos si diferenciamos

Living we love if we differentiate

Iguales sobre el sonido rondamos

Equals, we hover over the sound

Cuida que nada te quite el motivo

Make sure nothing takes away your reason

Da gracias al color de estar vivo

Give thanks for the color of being alive

Aunque tropiece me levanto y sigo

Even if I stumble, I get up and continue

Al número "m" lo llevo conmigo

I carry the number "m" with me


Hey, ¿que? ¿vas a hacer? ¿Estás conforme con lo que tienes?

Hey, what? What are you going to do? Are you satisfied with what you have?

Yo no dependo de nada, dependo de aire y mientras haya aire

I don't depend on anything, I depend on air, and as long as there's air

Aqui estare luchando, representando a mi gente

Here I am, fighting, representing my people

La que ha tomado y la que toma en la mano el machete

The one who has taken and the one who takes in hand the machete

Eso, asi de fácil, y no estoy conforme y exigo mis derechos

That's it, as simple as that, and I'm not satisfied, and I demand my rights

Si no me gusta lo que veo, opino y lo defiendo, aqui estoy

If I don't like what I see, I give my opinion and defend it, here I am

Mira, no doy ningún paso atrás

Look, I don't take any steps back

Mira, no me pienses detener

Look, don't think about stopping me

Ahora es mi turno, quieras o no quieras

Now it's my turn, whether you like it or not

Artillería pesada anda por el rumbo (anda por el rumbo)

Heavy artillery is on the way (is on the way)


Que es lo que esperas que un día suceda

What do you expect to happen one day?

Porque te entregas, abusas no empleas

Because you surrender, abuse, don't use
