Every Man Is a Story

Todo Hombre Es Una Historia

They said he would come backDijeron que volvería
As soon as he lostTan pronto se le irían
The urge to flyLas ganas de volar

He was a kid from my neighborhoodEra un chico de mi barrio
Labeled as ordinaryQue tildaban de ordinario
For not being like the restAl no ser como los demás

And with his hair on his shouldersY con su pelo en hombros
He broke freeSe le escapó
One day from all that oppressionUn día a toda esa opresión

No one ever sat downNunca nadie se sentaba
To listen to what he thoughtA escuchar lo que pensaba
No one gave a damnA nadie le importó

He was a lover of lifeEra amante de la vida
Of the music that one dayDe la música que un día
Awoke his dreamsSus sueños despertó

And with his hair on his shouldersY con su pelo en hombros
He broke freeSe le escapó
One day from all that oppressionUn día a toda esa opresión

A thousand stories were toldMil historias se contaron
About that man who leftDe aquel hombre que marchó
Ignoring what they’d sayIgnorando el qué dirán
Not caring about the reasonNo importando la razón

A thousand stories were toldMil historias se contaron
About that man who leftDe aquel hombre que marchó
Ignoring what they’d sayIgnorando el qué dirán
Not caring about the reasonNo importando la razón

Oh, oh, oh, ohOh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, ohOh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Time passed and I realizedPasó el tiempo y me di cuenta
That they were foolish wordsQue eran palabras necias
Because he never lied to himselfPorque él nunca se mintió

Time passed, he’s back nowPasó el tiempo, ha regresado
With tired eyesTrae ojos ya cansados
But he made his dreams come trueMás sus sueños realizó

And with his hair on his shouldersY con su pelo en hombros
He broke freeSe le escapó
One day from all that oppressionUn día a toda esa opresión

A thousand stories were toldMil historias se contaron
About that man who leftDe aquel hombre que marchó
Ignoring what they’d sayIgnorando el qué dirán
Not caring about the reasonNo importando la razón

A thousand stories were toldMil historias se contaron
About that man who leftDe aquel hombre que marchó
