La Ley

The Law

La Ley

I admit I live in fearReconozco que vivo con miedo
Death scares meLa muerte me asusta
Life does tooLa vida también
I fear the contempt of othersDe los prójimos temo el desprecio

Laughter, emptinessLa risa, el vacío
Lack of faithLa falta de fe
Not faith in a powerful GodNo la fe en un Dios poderoso
Not in man himselfNi en el hombre mismo
Not in any lawNi en ninguna ley
But only the courage to playSinó solo el valor de jugar
This game of chanceA este juego de azar

That says nothing about good or evilQue no dice nada del bien ni del mal
Because otherwise it's betterPues en caso contrario es mejor
To ignore the pain and terrorIgnorar el dolor y el terror
And deceive oneselfY engañarse uno mismo
Thinking that the worldPensando que el mundo

Who will take away¿Quién quitara eso
What doesn't let me be?Que no me deja de ser?
Who will take away¿Quién quitara eso
What makes me speak instead of see?Que me hace hablar en lugar de ver?

It's been a long time since I'm not meHace tiempo que yo no soy yo
It's been a long time since I only desireHace tiempo que solo deseo
That I only desireQue solo deseo
And I don't know if I knowY no sé si sé
If I should wantSi debo querer
If I want to knowSi quiero saber

Who will take away¿Quién quitara eso
What harasses the subject and topples the king?Que acosa al súbdito y derriba al rey?
Who will take away¿Quién quitara eso
What doesn't let me ignore the law?Que no me deja ignorar la ley?
