Visa para un sueño [English translation]

It was five in the morning

a priest in training, a manual worker,

with a thousand documents of economic solvency

that don´t afford them the luxury of sincerity.

It was seven in the morning

going one by one to the slaughterhouse

since everyone has their price

looking for a visa for a dream.

(lie-la-lie, lie-la-lie)

The sun burning up his guts, phew!

a consolation letter

with a two-by-four photograph

that melts away in the silence.

It was nine in the morning

Santo Domingo, January the 8th

and the patience is running out

because there´s no longer a visa for a dream

¡Oh, oh!

Searching for a visa for a dream

Searching for a visa for a dream

Searching for a visa made of concrete and lime

who would find me on the asphalt?

Searching for a visa for a dream (oh)

Searching for a visa for a dream

Searching for a visa, the reason of being

Searching for a visa so as not to come back

Searching for a visa for a dream (oh)

Searching for a visa for a dream

Searching for a visa, oh how furious it makes me

Searching for a visa, a blow from the powers that be

Searching for a visa, what else can I do

Searching for a visa, to sink

Searching for a visa, fodder for the sea

Searching for a visa, the reason of being

Searching for a visa, so as not to come back.
