Translation of the song Elegiré artist La Raíz
Elegiré
I'll choose
La senda está mala, y hoy en día
The path is bad, and nowadays
es difícil seguir recto.
it's difficult to go straight on.
Lo único que puedo hacer es no tener secretos.
The only thing I can do is not having secrets.
Camino paso a paso,
I walk step by step,
así se escriben los cuentos.
that's how tales are written.
Y un micro no es delito,
And a microphone is not a crime,
es una forma de que no diga ni pío.
it's a way of not saying a word.
Y ahora siento tu aliento
And now I feel your breath
como una llama.
as a flame.
Veo mi herida cerrarse en tu cama.
I see my wound closing in your bed.
Miénteme jugando a que nada te asusta.
Lie to me playing like you're afraid of nothing.
¿Sabes qué?
You know what?
Elegiré, elegiremos volar, volar.
I'll choose, we'll choose to fly, to fly
A hundir los pies, a hundir los pies
Instead of sticking our feet, instead of sticking our feet
en barros de vulgaridad.

Elegiré, elegiremos volar, volar.
I'll choose, we'll choose to fly, to fly
A hundir los pies, a hundir los pies

Yo le dije al camino: «Tranquilo,
I told the path: Be calm,
no tengo ganas de ver tu final»
I don't want to see your ending
Voy despacito,
I'm going slowly,
voy tan tranquilo
I'm going so calmly
que hasta las horas andan hacia atrás.

Hay gente con prisa que nos pisa, pero
There's hurrying people that step on us, but
quiero volar y escapar como Ícaro.

Voy a mostrarte el mundo desde arriba.

Voy a dotarte del arte de los pájaros.

Cógete a mis alas, pero rápido.
Grab my wings, but quickly.
Te invito a un vuelo rapaz,

vuelo romántico,

para reconquistar lo que nos fue robado,

volver a ver el mar sin basuras a su lado.

Elegiré, elegiremos volar, volar.

Solo nos queda esperar la señal
