URS:
The songs do not write themselves
but are born alone.
The things that happen being
around us every day.
To pick the songs is enough
(for) us and for you as well.
That you do more hard work,
and never smile.
DAVID:
The songs are [like] gypsies
and steal poetry.
I am deceitful like pills
of happiness,
the songs do not cure
loves and illnesses.
But that small pain,
that from us exists,
SEB:
it will pass, it will pass
if I am am a boy and a guitar,
like you, in the town.
To watch this life that does not function,
of illusions that kill us
and with the age of the songs.
CARLOS:
It will pass over us,
sooner or later everyone will close the bank
with considering
those who know the anguishes of rich and poverty
to talk about the loves that you've not had.
ALL:
To sing a song that you do not know how it goes
because you lost it within
and only you remember.
It will pass...
URS:
In a world of automobiles
and of great speed,
DAVID:
for a person that always arrives last,
for a person that tells themselves goodbye,
SEB:
for a person that runs into obstacles
of the other kind,
CARLOS:
the songs are like fireflies
that sing in the darkness.
URS:
Sooner or later it will pass,
this small pain that there is in you,
that there is in me, that there is in us,
and it does not hear us like sailors
SEB:
at the mercy of the wind and of homesickness.
CARLOS:
To sing a song that you do not know how it goes,
but that small pain that is hatred, or that is love,
will pass.
ALL:
It will pass, it will pass,
even if you'll only do it it it,
it will pass, it will pass,
SEB:
and for something a song will serve [a purpose]
CARLOS:
if your small pain that is hatred or that is love,
CARLOS & DAVID:
that is hatred or that is love,
ALL:
will pass.
