No Nos Toca

Not Our Turn

No Nos Toca

With the sun at our backsCon el Sol en la espalda
Today we have to walkHoy nos toca caminar
And what the mind dragsY lo que la mente arrastra
We will have to let goLo tendremos que soltar
Because it's not good to walk heavyPues no es bueno andar pesado
It's the past, and it's not our turnEs el pasado, y no nos toca

Father and son, with a fixed coursePadre e hijo, con rumbo fijo
There are no more answers, just riddlesNo hay más respuestas, tan solo acertijos
They said that manhood ends with empathyDecían que la hombría se acaba con la empatía
And I say that a man is one who takes care of his familyY yo digo que un hombre es el que cuida su familia
And you lose control when anger dominates youY pierdes el control cuando la ira te domina
And then you give apologies as the only medicineY luego das disculpas como única medicina
What is happening to us?¿Qué es lo que nos esta pasando?
I think it's time to wake upCreo que es hora ya de despertar

With the sun at our backsCon el Sol en la espalda
Today we have to walkHoy nos toca caminar
And what the mind dragsY lo que la mente arrastra
We will have to let goLo tendremos que soltar
Because it's not good to walk heavyPues no es bueno andar pesado
It's the past, and it's not our turnEs el pasado, y no nos toca

Mother and daughter, the fixed ideaMadre e hija, la idea fija
Of being at home and creating a familyDe estar en casa y de crear una familia
Leaving behind the dreams you had since childhoodDejando atrás los sueños que tenías desde niña
Always quiet, always submissiveSiempre callada, siempre sumisa
Insults in the living room, a push in the kitchenInsultos en la sala, un empujón en la cocina
And then an apology and a fake caressY luego una disculpa y una caricia fingida
What is happening to us?¿Qué es lo que nos está pasando?
I think it's time to wake upCreo que es hora ya de despertar

With the sun at our backsCon el Sol en la espalda
Today we have to walkHoy nos toca caminar
And what the mind dragsY lo que la mente arrastra
We will have to let goLo tendremos que soltar
Because it's not good to walk heavyPues no es bueno andar pesado
It's the past, and it's not our turnEs el pasado, y no nos toca
