Canción Inútil

Useless Song

Canción Inútil

So many years and time didn't erase the momentTantos años y el tiempo no borró el instante
That afternoon at the police stationEsa tarde en la seccional
Those guys seemed to be playing with your motherAquellos tipos parecía que jugaban con tu madre
Who cried inconsolably: It's been two months since I last saw himQue lloraba desconsolada: Van dos meses que no lo vuelto a ver
And these sons of bitches say: He must have done something!Y estos hijos de puta dicen: ¡Algo habrá a hecho!
Even though you were very young then, you knew it anywayAunque eras muy pequeño entonces, lo supiste igual
Son and blood of a disappearedHijo y sangre de un desaparecido
In the street, it screams for: Trial and punishmentEn la calle pide a gritos: Juicio y castigo
Red ink, protest on the wallTinta y roja, escrache en la pared
And the gases, the chases, and confrontationsY los gases, las corridas y enfrentamientos
Listen, think, think, listen and sayEscucha, piensa, piensa, escucha y dice que
It's not revenge, it's instinct without reasoningNo es venganza, es instinto sin razonamiento
The cause moves the feelingLa causa mueve al sentimiento
And this begins to cause everything I feelY esto empieza a causar todo lo que siento
To be a teenager forever, which is like winningPara ser adolescente siempre, que es como vencer
It's enough for todayYa es bastante por hoy
It's better for me to shut up and learn from silenceVa a ser mejor que me calle y aprender del silencio
To acknowledge that we were also accomplices of that pardonReconocer que fuimos cómplices también de ese indulto
Our passive indecisionNuestra pasiva indecisión
And, even though life won't give us backY, aunque la vida nadie nos va a devolver
Prevention is cure and fighting is remedyPrevenir es curar y luchar es remedio
After all, it's more sincere than this useless songAl fin y al cabo es más sincero que esta inútil canción
Which is all I have to be a teenager forever, which is like winningQue es todo lo que tengo para ser adolescente siempre, que es como vencer
