When We Start to Be Born

Sui Generis

Cuando Comenzamos A Nacer

Cuando comenzamos a nacer
La mente empieza a comprender
Que vos sos vos y tenés vida

Qué poca cosa es la realidad
Mejor seguir, mejor soñar
Y lo que vale no es el día
Pero el sol está
No es de papel, es de verdad

Tenés una boca para hablar
Y comenzás a preguntar
Y conocés a la mentira

Con tus piernas vas a caminar
Pero te empiezan a encerrar
Y ahí te quedás con tu rutina

Y qué vas a hacer?
Uno se cansa de correr

Llenas tus valijas de amor y te vas
A buscar el cuerpo de una mujer
Y descubrís que amor es más que una noche
Y juntos ver amanecer

Poco a poco vos te conformás
Si no es amor es tuya igual
Y vos le das lo que te pida

Pero si te ofrecen el final
Dirás: Igual me he de quedar
Porque soy yo, porque es mi vida

When We Start to Be Born

When we start to be born
The mind begins to understand
That you are you and you have a life

How little reality is
Better to continue, better to dream
And what matters is not the day
But the sun is there
It's not made of paper, it's real

You have a mouth to speak
And you start to ask
And you get to know the lie

With your legs you will walk
But they start to confine you
And there you stay with your routine

And what are you going to do?
One gets tired of running

You fill your suitcases with love and leave
To find the body of a woman
And you discover that love is more than one night
And together watch the sunrise

Little by little you settle
If it's not love, it's yours anyway
And you give them what they ask for

But if they offer you the end
You will say: I will stay the same
Because it's me, because it's my life
