Lyrics

Español

He vivido intensamente y estoy en la pendiente donde los sueños se van. He aprendido que la suerte no es del fuerte y que cualquier esperanza el tiempo siempre la amansa, o si no la echa a rodar. Hoy conozco todo eso... todo eso y mucho más. Voy llevando en cada herida una ilusión ya vencida que martilla sin piedad. Se fueron las alegrías y las tristezas, tan mías, no importan a nadie más. Voy queriendo y voy sufriendo y en carne propia sintiendo lo triste que es ir viviendo, viviendo a suerte y verdad. Yo que vi amainar a muchos hombres grandes, hombres duchos, hombres que eran de verdad; hoy conozco la condena de una pena y el temple que se precisa para ahogar con una risa lo que dirán los demás. Hoy conozco todo eso, todo eso y mucho más.

English · machine translation

I have lived intensely and I am on the slope where dreams go. I have learned that luck does not belong to the strong and that any hope time always tames it, or else it rolls away. Today I know all that... all that and much more. I carry in each wound an illusion already defeated that hammers mercilessly. Gone are the joys and the sadnesses, so mine they don't matter to anyone else. I go loving and I go suffering and in my own flesh feeling how sad it is to go on living, living by luck and truth. I have seen many great men great men, skilled men, men who were true; today I know the condemnation of a sentence and the temper it takes to drown with a laugh what others will say. Today I know all that, all that and much more.
