Bare Feet, White Dreams

Pies Descalzos, Sueños Blancos

You belonged to an ancient racePerteneciste a una raza antigua
Of bare feet and white dreamsDe pies descalzos y de sueños blancos
You were dust, dust you are, thinkFuiste polvo, polvo eres, piensa
That iron always, in heat, is softQue el hierro siempre, al calor, es blando

You bit the appleTú mordiste la manzana
And renounced paradiseY renunciaste al paraíso
And condemned a serpentY condenaste a una serpiente
Being the one who wanted itSiendo tú el que así lo quiso

For millennia and millenniaPor milenios y milenios
You remained nakedPermaneciste desnudo
And faced dinosaursY te enfrentaste a dinosaurios
Under a roof and without a shieldBajo un techo y sin escudo

And now you're hereY ahora estás aquí
Wanting to be happyQueriendo ser feliz
When you didn't give a damn about your destinyCuando no te importó un pepino tu destino

You belonged to an ancient racePerteneciste a una raza antigua
Of bare feet and white dreamsDe pies descalzos y de sueños blancos
You were dust, dust you are, thinkFuiste polvo, polvo eres, piensa
That iron always, in heat, is softQue el hierro siempre, al calor, es blando

You built a precise worldConstruiste un mundo exacto
With such perfect finishesDe acabados tan perfectos
Everything calculatedCada cosa calculada
In its space and timeEn su espacio y a su tiempo

I, who am complete chaosYo, que soy un caos completo
The entrances, the exitsLas entradas, las salidas
The names and measurementsLos nombres y las medidas
Don't fit in my brainNo me caben en los sesos

And now you're hereY ahora estás aquí
Wanting to be happyQueriendo ser feliz
When you didn't give a damn about your destinyCuando no te importó un pepino tu destino

Greet the neighbor, go to bed at a certain timeSaludar al vecino, acostarse a una hora
Work every day, to live in lifeTrabajar cada día, para vivir en la vida
And answer only that and feel only thisY contestar solo aquello y sentir solo esto
And may God protect us from bad thoughtsY que Dios nos ampare de malos pensamientos

Fulfill the tasks, attend schoolCumplir con las tareas, asistir al colegio
What would the family say if you're a failure?¿Qué diría la familia si eres un fracasado?
Always wear shoes, don't make noise at the tablePonte siempre zapatos, no hagas ruido en la mesa
Wear sheer stockings and a tie at partiesUsa medias veladas y corbata en las fiestas

Women always marry before thirtyLas mujeres se casan siempre antes de treinta
If not, they'll dress saints, even if they don't want toSi no, vestirán santos, y aunque así no lo quieran
And at the quinceañera party, it's best not to forgetY en la fiesta de quince, es mejor no olvidar
A fine champagne and dance the waltzUna fina champaña y bailar bien el vals

And dance the waltzY bailar bien el vals
