Quemando Sueños
Alfredo Abalos
Burning Dreams
There are those who burn or sell their dreams and fantasies
For money and for glory they violate their esteem and being
Walking on their knees, reverencing power
An ulcer is in the soul of human nature
Ambition in mortals and it's not a sin, sir
As long as it doesn't hurt anyone or blind their heart
When ambition ravages body and mind, they suffer
Why hoard things in life for the afterlife?
The soul doesn't need them in the valley of peace
In Salamanca, they say the devil lends fortunes
But in exchange for your soul, oh, how usurious the Zupay!
Salamanca doesn't lend what nature doesn't give
Humans have always had a struggle in their lives
Seeking the right balance between good and evil
And in that eternal fight, man learned to mature
My song doesn't justify, oh God, your creatures
Who think that glory and gold will make them immortal
Eternal dream of man, just another chimera
With deeds and words, we all dirty life
Even if we try to avoid evil, don't forget you're one of them
Don't say you weren't there when it's time to clean
In Salamanca, they say the devil lends fortunes
But in exchange for your soul, oh, how usurious the Zupay!
Salamanca doesn't lend what nature doesn't give
