The Raft

La Patera

StaringMirando fijamente
he's stayed on the shore of a lakese ha quedado a la orilla de un lago
that connects two continentsque une dos continentes
now it's just body and mindahora es sólo cuerpo y mente
his heart stayed on the boatsu corazón se ha quedado en el barco
where there's no more roomdonde no cabe más gente

and curses his lucky maldice su suerte
he doesn't know he's cheated deathno sabe que ha burlado a la muerte
that the boat that set sailque el barco que zarpó
filled with hopecargado de ilusión
couldn't survive without a captain and without a rudderno pudo resistir sin capitán y sin timón

thinking clearlypensando claramente
today he's gathered all they've savedhoy ha juntado todo lo que han ahorrado
sweat from many browssudor de muchas frentes
he has enough nowya tiene suficiente
but he's arrived with time stuckpero ha llegado con el tiempo pegado
gone on the next oneya se irá en el siguiente

and curses his luck...y maldice su suerte...
and curses his luck...y maldice su suerte...

now he understandsahora entiende
that the world is divided in halfque el mundo se divide en una mitad
that if you arrive alive they'll send you backque si llegas vivo te devolverán
that if you arrive dead you're justque si llegas muerto sólo eres
