Destino

Destiny

Destino

I don't want flies to come near meNo quiero que se me acerquen las moscas
Because I'm not dead yetPor que todavia no estoy muerto
Nor the scavenger vultures!Ni tampoco ilos buitres carroñeros!
So they can eat my eyes and tear off my skin.Pa'que me coman los ojos y me arranquen el pellejo.

If I want, I can want a whole lifetimeSi es por querer, puedo querer toda una vida
And there were so many lost hours that today, that today I don't even know...Y fueron tantas las horas perdidas que hoy, que hoy ya ni sè...

Sometimes I get tired of waiting for good things from othersHay veces en que me canso en esperar cosas buenas de los demas
But it's the need that drives me to keep goingPero es la necesidad la que me impulsa a seguir
I have an open chest for anyone who wants shelterTengo el pecho abierto pa'quien quiera abrigo
It must be destiny to feel it this way.Serà cosa del destino por sentirlo asì.

I know that many can't see the things I seeYo sè que muchos no pueden ver las cosas que yo veo
But it's more because they don't want to!Ipero es mas por no querer!
Long live the seed and long live what's not ours!Iviva la pepa y viva lo ajeno!
And I wonderY yo me pregunto
What about us?Y lo nuestro?
What's inside?Y lo de adentro?,
From betrayal to artigas!Ide la traiciòn a artigas!
From the dead natives, from my soul, from my thoughts.De los indios muertos, de mi alma de mis pensamientos.

Will they suffer the same fate?Sufriran su mismo destino?
But I must warn them that I will continue on this pathIpero les debo advertir que seguirè en este camino
Hard for them to move me, I planted my flag in the sky!Dificil que me puedan mover, plantè bandera en la ser!

It's destiny!Ies cosa destino!
