Carta de Un León a Otro

Letter from One Lion to Another

Carta de Un León a Otro

Forgive me, my brother, if I sayPerdona hermano mío, si te digo
I haven't had the urge to write youQue ganas de escribirte, no he tenido
I don't know if it's the confinementNo sé si es el encierro
I don't know if it's the foodNo sé si es la comida
Or the time I've spent in this lifeO el tiempo que ya llevo en esta vida

The truth is, the zoo is depressingLo cierto, es que el zoológico deprime
And evil doesn't get redeemed without loveY el mal no se redime sin cariño
If it weren't for those kidsSi no es por esos niños
Who bring their joy nearQue acercan su alegría
It would be even more bitterSería más amargo todavía

I hope you're doing better, I really doA ti te ira mejor, espero
Traveling around the whole wide worldViajando por el mundo entero
Though the trainer, from what you tell meAunque el domador, según me cuentas
Makes you work harder than you shouldTe obligue a trabajar más de la cuenta

You have to understand, brotherTú tienes que entender, hermano
That the soul has a villainQue el alma tiene de villano
Not being able to command those they wantAl no poder mandar a quien quisieran
They unleash their power on the beastsDescargan su poder sobre las fieras

Many humansMuchos humanos
Are importantSon importantes
With a chair in handSilla mediante
And a whip in the otherLátigo en mano

But back to me, nothing has changedPero volviendo a mi, nada ha cambiado
Here since we were separatedAquí desde que fuimos separados
There's something, howeverHay algo sin embargo
That I notice among the peopleQue noto entre la gente
It seems like they look at things differentlyParece que miraran diferente

Their eyes have lost some sparkleSus ojos han perdido algún destello
As if they were the ones in captivityComo si fueran ellos los cautivos
I know what I'm sayingYo sé lo que te digo
Bet whatever you wantApuesta lo que quieras
That outside they have thousands of problemsQue afuera tienen miles de problemas

We fell into the jungle, brotherCaímos en la selva hermano
And look at whose merciful hands we're inY mira en que piadosas manos
The air is taintedSu aire esta viciado
With smoke and deathDe humo y muerte
And who can predictY quien anticipar
Their fatePuede su suerte

Returning to natureVolver a la naturaleza
Would be their greatest wealthSería su mejor riqueza
There they could love freelyAllí podrán amarse libremente
And there's no zoo of peopleY no hay ningún zoologico de gente

Take care, brotherCuidate hermano
I don't know whenYo no sé cuando
But that dayPero ese día
Is coming soonViene llegando
