Hombre

Man with a sad facadeHombre de fachada triste
Give a good face to timeDale al tiempo buena cara
Don't be almost sea, nor almost riverNo seas casi mar, ni casi rio
Either be sea, or river, or nothingO se mar, o rio, o nada

Man of medium statureHombre de mediana estampa
Give life to your hopeDale vida a tu esperanza
It's not better to rushNo es mejor el que va aprisa
To walk distancesPara caminar distancias
To walk distancesPara caminar distancias

Man, if you call yourself a manHombre si te dices hombre
Don't interrupt your journeyNo interrumpas tu jornada
Or you'll make this life a tombO harás de esta vida tumba
And the tomb a dwellingY de la tumba morada
If you're going to have a roseSi has de tener una rosa
You have to look at the thornTienes que mirar la espina
If you don't know painSi no sabes del dolor
You won't know joyNo sabras de la alegría

Don't ask the LordNo le pidas al señor
Man to give you a houseHombre que te de una casa
Be more thankfulAgradécele mejor
That you have life and workQue tienes vida y trabaja

What good is your voiceDe que te sirve la voz
Why do you want wordsPara que quieres palabras
If you get scared at the slightestSi te espantas al menor
Movement of rough wavesMovimiento de olas bravas

Movement of rough wavesMovimiento de olas bravas
Man, if you call yourself a manHombre si te dices hombre
Don't interrupt your journeyNo interrumpas tu jornada
Or you'll make this life a tombO harás de esta vida tumba
And the tomb a dwellingY de la tumba morada
If you're going to have a roseSi has de tener una rosa
You have to look at the thornTienes que mirar la espina
If you don't know painSi no sabes del dolor
You won't know joyNo sabras de la alegría

The one who seems more of a manNo es más hombre el que parece
Or the one who shouts the most and scaresNi el que grita más y espanta
But the one who has in his voiceSino el que tiene en su voz
The truth of his wordLa verdad de su palabra

Not the one with more womenNi el que tiene más mujeres
Or the one who drinks the most and enduresNi el que bebe más y aguanta
But the one who has only oneSino el que tiene una sola
And a thirst to quench itY una sed para calmarla

And a thirst to quench itY una sed para calmarla
Man, if you call yourself a manHombre si te dices hombre
Don't interrupt your journeyNo interrumpas tu jornada
Or you'll make this life a tombO harás de esta vida tumba
And the tomb a dwellingY de la tumba morada
If you're going to have a roseSi has de tener una rosa
You have to look at the thornTienes que mirar la espina
If you don't know painSi no sabes del dolor
You won't know joyNo sabras de la alegria
