Lyrics

Translation

La desilusión no me deja vivir

Disillusionment doesn't let me live

la angustia de no tener nada

The anguish of having nothing

recuerdo

I remember

que algún día fui

That someday I was

soy ese que nadie quiere ser

I am the one no one wants to be

esquivo en mi andar

Elusive in my walk

reacio al vincularme

Reluctant to connect

fruto de un ambiente adverso

Fruit of an adverse environment

frío

Cold

frio al pensar

Cold in my thoughts

no acostumbrado a llorar

Not accustomed to crying

soy ese que nadie quiere ser

I am the one no one wants to be


vida de excesos libérame

Excessive life, free me

y así corregiré mis errores

And thus, I will correct my mistakes

toda una vida autodestructiva

A whole self-destructive life

toda una vida sintiendo una herida

A whole life feeling a wound

cargo una cruz en mi sucia espalda

I carry a cross on my dirty back

y hago fuego del árbol caído

And I make fire from the fallen tree

todo lo que fui se apago

Everything I was has faded away

con tu reflejo que pinto

With your reflection that I paint

con su color mis pies mis lagrimas mi falta de sed.

With its color my feet, my tears, my lack of thirst
