de ideales desmesurados,

de amores a escondidas.

Viviendo a contratiempo
Living against the current
cuando todo estallaba,
while everything blew up,
y un futuro furioso
and a furious future
de sombras aguardaba
full of shadows lay in wait.
Las melodias del pasado
The melodies of the past
forman las notas del presente.

Siento tanto la vida...

Que la fuerza que imprimen tus verdes años

derrote la mentira que yo mismo sufri.

que tengas suerte y no tengas que huir.
