Lyrics

Translation

Tu silueta va caminando

Your silhouette is walking

Con el alma triste y dormida

With a sad and dormant soul

Ya la aurora no es nada nuevo

Now the dawn is nothing new

Pa' tus ojos grandes y pa' tu frente

For your big eyes and your forehead

Ya el cielo y sus estrellas

The sky and its stars

Se quedaron mudos, lejanos y muertos

Remained silent, distant, and dead

Pa' tu mente ajena

For your alien mind


Nos hablaron una vez cuando niños

They spoke to us once when we were children

Cuando la vida se muestra entera

When life reveals itself completely

Que el futuro, que cuando grandes

That the future, when we grow up

Ahí murieron ya los momentos

There the moments already died

Sembraron así su semilla

They sowed their seed like that

Y tuvimos miedo, temblamos

And we were afraid, we trembled

Y en ésto se nos fue la vida

And in this, life passed us by


Cada uno aferrado a sus dioses

Each one clinging to their gods

Productos de toda una historia

Products of a whole history

Los modelan y los destruyen

They shape them and destroy them

Y según eso ordenan sus vidas

And based on that, they order their lives

En la frente les ponen monedas

On their foreheads, they put coins

En sus largas manos les cuelgan

In their long hands, they hang

Candados, letreros y rejas

Padlocks, signs, and bars
