La Patera
Mirando fijamente
se ha quedado a la orilla de un lago
que une dos continentes
ahora es sólo cuerpo y mente
su corazón se ha quedado en el barco
donde no cabe más gente
y maldice su suerte
no sabe que ha burlado a la muerte
que el barco que zarpó
cargado de ilusión
no pudo resistir sin capitán y sin timón
pensando claramente
hoy ha juntado todo lo que han ahorrado
sudor de muchas frentes
ya tiene suficiente
pero ha llegado con el tiempo pegado
ya se irá en el siguiente
y maldice su suerte...
y maldice su suerte...
ahora entiende
que el mundo se divide en una mitad
que si llegas vivo te devolverán
que si llegas muerto sólo eres
una noticia más
una noticia más
y maldice su suerte
no sabe que ha burlado a la muerte
y maldice su suerte...
y maldice su suerte...
The Raft
Staring
he's stayed on the shore of a lake
that connects two continents
now it's just body and mind
his heart stayed on the boat
where there's no more room
and curses his luck
he doesn't know he's cheated death
that the boat that set sail
filled with hope
couldn't survive without a captain and without a rudder
thinking clearly
today he's gathered all they've saved
sweat from many brows
he has enough now
but he's arrived with time stuck
gone on the next one
and curses his luck...
and curses his luck...
now he understands
that the world is divided in half
that if you arrive alive they'll send you back
that if you arrive dead you're just
one more news
one more news
and curses his luck
he doesn't know he's cheated death
and curses his luck...
and curses his luck...
