Mi Generacion

My Generation

Mi Generacion

I was born with my neighborsYo naci con mis vecinos
When speaking was a dangerCuando hablar era un peligro
Back in '73Alla en el 73
And I grew up looking at a skyY creci mirando un cielo
That no longer seems eternalQue ya no parece eterno
Not with grass nor with faithNi con hierba ni con fe
They taught me as a kidMe enseñaron de pelado
That God only shows one sideque Dios solo muestra un lado
And you pray to Him in Englishy se le reza en inglés.
From my house to UnicentroDe mi casa hasta Unicentro
I never had much timenunca tuve mucho tiempo
To ask whypara preguntar por qué

It's the story of my generationEs la historia de mi generación
Tell me [tell me], tell me where are we going?Decime [decime], decime a dónde vamos?
My city is no longer the same songMi ciudad ya no es la misma canción
I feel like this story hasn't endedPresiento que este cuento no acabó.

They took the embassySe tomaron la embajada
They took the palaceSe tomaron el palacio
I saw them on TVYo los vi en televisión
I drank ChocolistoYo tomaba Chocolisto
And listened to Lucho HerreraY eschuchaba a Lucho Herrera
Crowning himself championCoronarse campeón
When I was falling in loveCuando ya me enamoraba
The girls were listeningLas muchachas escuchaban
to supposedly Spanish rockdizque rock en español
And the bombs were explodingY las bombas reventaban
While they were drafting a great constitutionMientras tanto redactaban una gran constitución

It's the story of my generationEs la historia de mi generación
Tell me [tell me] tell me where are we going?Decime [decime] decime a donde vamos?
My city is no longer the same songMi cuidad ya no es la misma canción
I feel like this story hasn't endedPresiento que este cuento no acabó

I was born with my neighborsYo naci con mis vecinos
When speaking was a dangerCuando hablar era un peligro
Back in '73Alla en el 73
And even if a lot of time passesY aunque pase mucho tiempo
We'll swear not to be oldjuraremos no estar viejos
To love each other again.para amarnos otra vez.
