...y Así Vivir [English translation]

That truth that doesn't bother

The kiss to celebrate

Ten thousand protest songs

And one more friend to hug

That wink that touches

That hand that makes you doubt

No umbrella when it rains

One more party to endure

Another fear to smash

And so to live

The bravery of feeling

Life kills from beginning to end

The heartbreak

There's no joy without pain

And the best is yet to come

The dream that's drifting

The rage rises one more time

The relationship that doesn't end

Another bet you double

A pain you don't cry

And so to live

The bravery of feeling

Life kills from beginning to end

The heartbreak

There's no joy without pain

And the best is yet to come

I cry out

That only feeds

The slowest phrase

Of my voice

Flowers grow

From my wounds

That my life smells

Without fear

"They come from superhuman efforts

and they go to songs and to kisses;

they leave printed on the air

the scent of tools and of hands."*
