Prohibido Olvidar
Ricardo Montaner
Lyrics
Translation
Dios nos dio la vida de gratis
God gave us life for free
Dios nos trajo para jugar
God brought us here to play
Si Dios nos puso boca fue pa' besarnos
If God gave us a mouth, it was to kiss
si nos dios Brazos fue pa' abrazar
If God gave us arms, it was to embrace
Dios esta pensando en retiro
God is thinking about retirement
Dios esta cansado y se va
God is tired and leaving
no te dio pies pa' que metieras la pata
He didn't give you feet to mess up
te trajo aqui para ser feliz.
He brought you here to be happy

< strong > Chorus 1:
Esta prohibido olvidar
It's forbidden to forget
que venimos del amor
That we come from love
que el mesias es uno y no son dos
That the messiah is one and not two
que la vida es un ratito apenas
That life is just a short while
que hay que ganarse la eternidad
That we must earn eternity
Esta prohibido olvidar
It's forbidden to forget
a que huele la libertad
What freedom smells like
como usar la paciencia de arsenal
How to use patience as an arsenal
tolerancia como contraataque
Tolerance as a counterattack
como decreto la compasion
How to decree compassion
y el amor.
And love
Dios plantea un paro forsoso
God declares a forced strike
Huelga de hambre y manifestar
Hunger strike and protest
Le va a echar llave
He'll lock
a las compuertas del cielo
The gates of heaven
y de milagros no quiere ni hablar.
And doesn't want to talk about miracles

There's no need to betray
ni mentir ni fallar
Nor to lie or fail
si al finar tendras que pagar.
Because eventually, you'll have to pay
