Binomio [English translation]

Yeah, Ars Magna 1, 2005

Binomio, extremes that pull (at each other) and you want to breathe,

Look, look, look!

Ying and yang, chaos and order,

Successes and frustrations, pressures that consume us,

Under this blue cupola, and sometimes grey, all men

Live between sanity and delirium, and it's here where we move

We know that extremes are not good,

Pleasures in excess turn into poisons

We only believe in what we see,

We want what we don't have,

The land is not flat and on it we fall.

Seeking to touch heights that are never in reach,

Without enjoying the moment 2 nor finding improvement, difficult surrender,

Alpha and omega, the beginning of the end,

Binomio is the love that burns and later it turns mean

And without weighing scales calm is not reached

Longing tires you out, from anecdotes emerge defeats

Positive versus negative in human beings

Binomio is going from smiling to weeping for no reason

And it's been like this since the world has existed

And in one second happy things become sad

From the thickest darkness

To intense light

Living is choosing, so think

Behind the face of an angel there's a demon hidden

Behind the mistake made, something will have been learnt

Every term and its antonym

Changes in our moods

I'm not magnanimous

I know the path from peace to panic

It's magical, tragic, depending on how you look at it,

When you breathe and the air inspires you, you'll know that you're living

Opposites attract and I've come to bear witness

Life flows, destroys, builds, binomio

[Chorus]

Binomio everything has its angel and its demon

I divide territories, I live between love and hate

Come to my nights of insomnia facing another sheet [of paper]

A new life-and-death episode...

(Knowing how to live day by day turns us into wise people)

Fortune and misfortune, compliments and lies, nothing satisfies us,

Affection and greed, euphoria and nostalgia,

The duality of a selfish act that hurts

And that shows us the magic of humility

Humanity that between north and south opens a divide

Left, right, beliefs, suspicion,

Narrow gap 3between the wait and rage

Greetings that are farewells, and the world spins round

It's true that opposites compliment each other,

That some are happy and others feel sorry for themselves

They can't find their place in this insipid life

Of stampeding suns and icy moons

Sharp minds that forget and abandon

Hatred that forgives, remains that suddenly surface

It's amazing seeing how binomio humiliates the powerful

And gives to the weak the strength of a hundred colossi

For that reason I admire it, it fills us with meaning

When it cures the wounded and wakes the sleeping

Like this all of a sudden, evil is blessed,

Coldness4 lovely, and silence shouts loudly

Binomio is the kiss that tastes of death

And the stroke 5but of luck, the way to lose you6

The inertia to find you, to close your eyes and like this see you,

To leave you because it hurts so much to have you and love you

Binomio is the art of making the moment eternal

The grandeur of life in an insignificant rap

Opposites attract and I've come to bear witness

Time flows, slips away and flees binomio

[Chorus]

Binomio everything has its angel and its demon

I divide territories, I live between love and hate

Come to my nights of insomnia facing another sheet [of paper]

A new life-and-death episode on my desk

Binomio everything has its angel and its demon

I divide territories, I live between love and hate

Come to my nights of insomnia facing another sheet [of paper]

A new life-and-death episode...

The world spins the other way round

Don't lose your focus

My life on paper

It's the ground that I walk on

The world spins the other way round

Don't lose your focus

My life on paper

It's the ground that I walk on

Knowing how to live day

By day turns us into wise people

[Scratches: Dj Yulian]

I live trapped amongst intangible threats that surround me

Burning pavements under winds of change that block my way

I escape from there, the desperate sound of the riot that fights for an uncertain tomorrow does not reach where I'm going

There where I'm going there's neither frustration, nor injustice, nor violence, nor sirens, nor car alarms, nor anyone pestering you, nor mad people swearing or having a piss in the street...

There you find silence, you find peace, you find God...
