Mi Generación

My Generation

Mi Generación

I was born with my neighborsYo nací con mis vecinos
When speaking was a danger back in '73Cuando hablar era un peligro allá en el 73
And I grew up looking at a sky, that no longer seems eternalY crecí mirando un cielo, que ya no parece eterno
Not with herbs nor with faithNi con hierbas ni con fe
They taught me as a kid, that God only shows one sideMe enseñaron de pelao, que Dios solo muestra un lado
And you pray to Him in EnglishY se le reza en inglés
From my house to the mall, I never had much timeDe mi casa hasta unicentro, nunca tuve mucho tiempo
To ask whyyyPara preguntar por quéee

It's the story of my generationEs la historia de mi generación
Tell me, tell me, tell me where we're goingDecime, decime, decime a dónde vamos
My city is no longer the same songMi ciudad ya no es la misma canción
I feel like this story isn't overPresiento que este cuento no acabo

They took the embassySe tomaron la embajada
They took the palaceSe tomaron el palacio
I saw them on TVYo los vi en televisión
I had my chocolistoYo tomaba chocolisto
And listened to Lucho HerreraY escuchaba a Lucho Herrera
Crowning himself championCoronarse campeón
When I was falling in love, the girls were listeningCuando ya me enamoraba, las muchachas escuchaban
to supposedly Spanish rockDizque rock en español
And the bombs were exploding, meanwhile they were narratingY las bombas reventaban, mientras tanto relataban
A great constitutionUna gran constitución

It's the story of my generationEs la historia de mi generación
Tell me, tell me, tell me where we're goingDecime, decime, decime a dónde vamos
My city is no longer the same songMi ciudad ya no es la misma canción
I feel like this story isn't overPresiento que este cuento no acabo

I was born with my neighborsYo nací con mis vecinos
When speaking was a dangerCuando hablar era un peligro
Back in '73Allá en el 73
And even if a lot of time passesY aunque pase mucho tiempo
We'll swear not to be oldJuraremos no estar viejos
To love each other againPara amarnos otra vez
