Growing up
We grew up struggling for a morning,
guided towards the brightness of a star.
We tried not to fall into the battle
Of the soul which is so cruel or so beautiful.
We painted our skies with colours,
we pretended to be puppets.
We filled our sea with shells,
we sang with a poet’s rhyme.
I tell you more, I follow an idea,
we have dreamt together our whole life.
We feel the love that runs in your veins,
That arises in my sap, takes away your griefs.
We expected to see a different world,
To walk hand in hand with the people.
And when it was said that everything was already rotten,
We went together to try in some other way.
We marched resisting our idea,
We went on chasing an absent soul.
We got outsiders off this train,
As well as everything that darkens our mind.
We cried for people,
Riding on a comet’s tail.
We have lived for those men who lit up
The flame with an end, with a goal.
I tell you more, I follow an idea,
we have dreamt together our whole life.
We feel the love that runs in your veins,
That arises in my sap, takes away your griefs.

Crecimos peleando por un mañana,
guiados hacia el brillo de una estrella.
Tratamos no caer en la batalla,
del alma que es tan cruel o que es tan bella.
Pintamos nuestros cielos de colores,
fingimos nuestro rol de marionetas.
Llenamos nuestro mar de caracoles,
cantamos en la rima de un poeta.
Te digo mas, sigo una idea,
soñemos juntos la vida entera.
Siento el amor que va en tus venas,
brota en mi savia, quita tus penas.
Esperamos ver un mundo diferente,
caminar entrelazados con la gente.
Y cuando dicen que ya esta podrido todo,
vamos juntos a intentarlo de otro modo.
marchamos resistiendo nuestra idea,
nos fuimos persiguiendo un alma ausente.
bajamos de este tren a los de afuera,
y a todo lo que ensombra nuestra mente.
Lloramos a los seres que partieron,
montados en el hilo de un cometa.
Vivimos por los hombres que encendieron,
la llama con un fin, con una meta.
Te digo mas, sigo una idea,
soñemos juntos la vida entera.
Siento el amor que va en tus venas,
brota en mi savia, quita tus penas.
