Lyrics
No puedes volver atrs,
No tienes ms que seguir.
Que no te aturda el engao
Sigue, sigue hasta el final.
La herida que va contigo
Quin la puede mejorar,
Es la srdida pobreza
Que se pretende ignorar,
Es un mar amargo y negro
Que se tiene que aclarar.
Cunto tienes que vivir
Para ver la libertad.
La montaa cruza el viento
De donde hacia donde va.
Cuntos tienen que morir
Para ver la libertad.
El fuego que abre tus ojos
De donde hacia donde va,
Total en la lucha pierdes
Si luchas para matar.
El amor y la agona
Envueltos en soledad
De tantas piezas obscuras
Que tuviste que alumbrar.
Correr hacia la ternura,
Pedir un poco de pan,
Es un mar amargo y negro
Que se tiene que aclarar.
No tienes ms que seguir
No puedes volver atrs.
Lyrics translation
You can't go back.,
You don't have more to go on.
Don't let the deception stun you
Go on, go on to the end.
The wound that goes with you
Quin can improve it,
It's poverty.
That you want to ignore,
It's a bitter and Black Sea
That has to be clarified.
When you have to live
To see freedom.
The Mountain crosses the wind
From where to where he goes.
Cunts have to die
To see freedom.
The fire that opens your eyes
From where to where it goes,
Total in the fight you lose
If you fight to kill.
Love and agony
Wrapped in solitude
Of so many dark pieces
That you had to light.
Running towards tenderness,
Order some bread,
It's a bitter and Black Sea
That has to be clarified.
You have no more to go on
You can't go back.
