Lyrics

Pobre mi corazón sufría pero yo estaba a mil
Siempre hipotequé mi vida para poder seguir
Riesgo, amor y fantasía: las claves para mi
Siempre te busqué, siempre tuve que llorar para ver
Que esta vida valía
Siempre desperté de mis pesadillas y nunca tendré
La paz que necesito
Antes dormía todo el día para reconstruir
Todas mis neuronas perdidas que se quisieron ir
Pronto caí que estaba herido, ya no quería reír
Todos me daban por perdido, cansados de insistir
Pero recordé a mi padre enseñándome a ver
El mundo tal cual era
No podía ser que le falle a mis amigos de ayer
A los de hoy y siempre
No el dan los ojos para ver pero el pibe sigue igual
Necesita estar despierto
Siempre vuelve a ir y aunque duela nunca deja de aprender
Antes, cuando salía solo, rompía mi nariz
Pobre mi corazón sufría pero yo estaba a mil
Pero recordé a mi padre enseñándome a ver
El mundo tal cual era
No podía ser que le falle a mis amigos de ayer
A los de hoy y siempre

Lyrics translation

Poor my heart was suffering but I was a thousand
I always mortgaged my life so I could go on
Risk, love and fantasy: the keys to my
I always looked for you, I always had to cry to see
That this life was worth
I've always awakened from my nightmares and I'll never have
The peace I need
I used to sleep all day to rebuild
All my lost neurons that wanted to go
Soon I fell I was hurt, no longer wanted to laugh
Everyone thought I was lost, tired of insisting
But I remembered my father teaching me to see
The world as it was
It couldn't be that I failed my friends yesterday
To those of today and forever
He doesn't give the eyes to see but the kid's still the same
He needs to be awake.
He always goes back and although it hurts he never stops learning
Before, when I went out alone, I would break my nose
Poor my heart was suffering but I was a thousand
But I remembered my father teaching me to see
The world as it was
It couldn't be that I failed my friends yesterday
To those of today and forever
