Carta de Un León a Otro
Perdona hermano mío, si te digo
Que ganas de escribirte, no he tenido
No sé si es el encierro
No sé si es la comida
O el tiempo que ya llevo en esta vida
Lo cierto, es que el zoológico deprime
Y el mal no se redime sin cariño
Si no es por esos niños
Que acercan su alegría
Sería más amargo todavía
A ti te ira mejor, espero
Viajando por el mundo entero
Aunque el domador, según me cuentas
Te obligue a trabajar más de la cuenta
Tú tienes que entender, hermano
Que el alma tiene de villano
Al no poder mandar a quien quisieran
Descargan su poder sobre las fieras
Muchos humanos
Son importantes
Silla mediante
Látigo en mano
Pero volviendo a mi, nada ha cambiado
Aquí desde que fuimos separados
Hay algo sin embargo
Que noto entre la gente
Parece que miraran diferente
Sus ojos han perdido algún destello
Como si fueran ellos los cautivos
Yo sé lo que te digo
Apuesta lo que quieras
Que afuera tienen miles de problemas
Caímos en la selva hermano
Y mira en que piadosas manos
Su aire esta viciado
De humo y muerte
Y quien anticipar
Puede su suerte
Volver a la naturaleza
Sería su mejor riqueza
Allí podrán amarse libremente
Y no hay ningún zoologico de gente
Cuidate hermano
Yo no sé cuando
Pero ese día
Viene llegando
Letter from One Lion to Another
Forgive me, my brother, if I say
I haven't had the urge to write you
I don't know if it's the confinement
I don't know if it's the food
Or the time I've spent in this life
The truth is, the zoo is depressing
And evil doesn't get redeemed without love
If it weren't for those kids
Who bring their joy near
It would be even more bitter
I hope you're doing better, I really do
Traveling around the whole wide world
Though the trainer, from what you tell me
Makes you work harder than you should
You have to understand, brother
That the soul has a villain
Not being able to command those they want
They unleash their power on the beasts
Many humans
Are important
With a chair in hand
And a whip in the other
But back to me, nothing has changed
Here since we were separated
There's something, however
That I notice among the people
It seems like they look at things differently
Their eyes have lost some sparkle
As if they were the ones in captivity
I know what I'm saying
Bet whatever you want
That outside they have thousands of problems
We fell into the jungle, brother
And look at whose merciful hands we're in
The air is tainted
With smoke and death
And who can predict
Their fate
Returning to nature
Would be their greatest wealth
There they could love freely
And there's no zoo of people
Take care, brother
I don't know when
But that day
Is coming soon
