The Beauty

La Belleza

Enemy of war and its reverse, the medalEnemigo de la guerra y su reverso, la medalla
I did not propose another battle than to free the heartNo propuse otra batalla que librar al corazón
From lying on the ground, under the passage of a storyDe ponerse cuerpo a tierra, bajo el paso de una historia
That was going to raise the power of reason to gloryQue iba a alzar hasta la gloria el poder de la razón

And now that there are no more trenchesY ahora que ya no hay trincheras
The battle is the ladderEl combate es la escalera
And whoever climbs to the topY el que trepe a lo más alto
Will save their headPondrá a salvo su cabeza
Even if it sinks into the asphaltAunque se hunda en el asfalto

Look at them, like reptiles stalking their preyMíralos, como reptiles al acecho de la presa
Negotiating at every table, occasion makeupsNegociando en cada mesa, maquillajes de ocasión
They follow all the rails that lead to the summitSiguen todos los raíles que conduzcan a la cumbre
Crazy for us to dazzle with their parasitic ambitionLocos por que nos deslumbre su parásita ambición

Before they went as prophetsAntes iban de profetas
And now success is their goalY ahora el éxito es su meta
Merchants, traffickersMercaderes, traficantes
More than nausea, they give sadnessMás que nausea, dan tristeza
They didn't touch for a momentNo rozaron ni un instante

And they spoke to me of fraternal, supportive futuresY me hablaron de futuros fraternales, solidarios
Where everything false would end up in the trashDonde todo lo falsario acabaría en el pilón
And now there are no more walls, we are not so equalY ahora no quedas muros, ya no somos tan iguales
The more you sell, the more you're worth, long live the revolution!Tanto vendes, tanto vales, ¡viva la revolución!

I claim the mirageReivindico el espejismo
Of trying to be oneselfDe intentar ser uno mismo
That journey to nothingEse viaje hacia la nada
Which consists of the certaintyQue consiste en la certeza
Of finding in your gazeDe encontrar en tu mirada
