My Generation

Andrés Cepeda

Mi Generación

Yo nací con mis vecinos
Cuando hablar era un peligro allá en el 73
Y crecí mirando un cielo, que ya no parece eterno
Ni con hierbas ni con fe
Me enseñaron de pelao, que Dios solo muestra un lado
Y se le reza en inglés
De mi casa hasta unicentro, nunca tuve mucho tiempo
Para preguntar por quéee

Es la historia de mi generación
Decime, decime, decime a dónde vamos
Mi ciudad ya no es la misma canción
Presiento que este cuento no acabo

Se tomaron la embajada
Se tomaron el palacio
Yo los vi en televisión
Yo tomaba chocolisto
Y escuchaba a Lucho Herrera
Coronarse campeón
Cuando ya me enamoraba, las muchachas escuchaban
Dizque rock en español
Y las bombas reventaban, mientras tanto relataban
Una gran constitución

Es la historia de mi generación
Decime, decime, decime a dónde vamos
Mi ciudad ya no es la misma canción
Presiento que este cuento no acabo

Yo nací con mis vecinos
Cuando hablar era un peligro
Allá en el 73
Y aunque pase mucho tiempo
Juraremos no estar viejos
Para amarnos otra vez

My Generation

I was born with my neighbors
When speaking was a danger back in '73
And I grew up looking at a sky, that no longer seems eternal
Not with herbs nor with faith
They taught me as a kid, that God only shows one side
And you pray to Him in English
From my house to the mall, I never had much time
To ask whyyy

It's the story of my generation
Tell me, tell me, tell me where we're going
My city is no longer the same song
I feel like this story isn't over

They took the embassy
They took the palace
I saw them on TV
I had my chocolisto
And listened to Lucho Herrera
Crowning himself champion
When I was falling in love, the girls were listening
to supposedly Spanish rock
And the bombs were exploding, meanwhile they were narrating
A great constitution

It's the story of my generation
Tell me, tell me, tell me where we're going
My city is no longer the same song
I feel like this story isn't over

I was born with my neighbors
When speaking was a danger
Back in '73
And even if a lot of time passes
We'll swear not to be old
To love each other again
