Cancion Del Elegido

Chosen One's Song

Cancion Del Elegido

Whenever a story is toldSiempre que se hace una historia
It speaks of an old man, a child of oneselfSe habla de un viejo, de un niño de sí
But my story is toughPero mi historia es difícil
I won't talk about a regular manNo voy a hablarles de un hombre común
I'll tell the tale of a being from another worldHaré la historia de un ser de otro mundo
Of a galaxy animalDe un animal de galaxia
It's a story relatedEs una historia que tiene que ver
To the Milky Way's courseCon el curso de la Vía Láctea
It's a buried storyEs una historia enterrada
It's about a being from nothingEs sobre un ser de la nada
Born from a stormNació de una tormenta
In the sun of a nightEn el sol de una noche
The second to last monthEl penúltimo mes
He went from planet to planetFue de planeta en planeta
Looking for drinkable waterBuscando agua potable
Maybe seeking lifeQuizás buscando la vida
Or seeking deathO buscando la muerte
That's never knownEso nunca se sabe
Maybe seeking silhouettesQuizás buscando siluetas
Or something similarO algo semejante
That was adorableQue fuera adorable
Or at least lovableO por lo menos querible
Kissable, kindBesable, amable

He discovered that the minesEl descubrió que las minas
Of King SolomonDel rey Salomón
Were in the skySe hallaban en el cielo
And not in the burning AfricaY no en el África ardiente
As people thoughtComo pensaba la gente
But the stones are coldPero las piedras son frías
And he was interested in warmth and joyY le interesaban calor y alegrías
The jewels had no soulLas joyas no tenían alma
They were just mirrors, bright colorsSólo eran espejos, colores brillantes
And finally descended to warY al fin bajo hacia la guerra
Sorry! I meant to say to earth¡Perdón! Quise decir a la tierra

He learned the story in a flashSupo la historia de un golpe
Felt crushed glass in his headSintió en su cabeza cristales molidos
And understood that warY comprendió que la guerra
Was the peace of the futureEra la paz del futuro
The most terrible is learned right awayLo más terrible se aprende enseguida
And the beautiful costs us our livesY lo hermoso nos cuesta la vida
The last time I saw him leaveLa última vez lo vi irse
Among smoke and shrapnelEntre humo y metralla
Happy and nakedContento y desnudo
He was killing scoundrelsIba matando canallas
With his cannon of the futureCon su cañón de futuro
