Papeles Mojados
Chambao
Wet Papers
Thousands of shadows each night the tide brings,
They sail loaded with illusions that stay on the shore.
Stories of everyday life, stories of good people.
They risk their lives tired, hungry and freezing.
They drown their sorrows with a candle, put yourself in their place,
The fear reflected in their eyes, the sea started to cry.
Many don't make it, their dream sinks, wet papers
Ownerless papers, many don't make it
Their dream sinks, wet papers, ownerless papers
Fragile memories adrift tear the soul apart,
The water chills to the bone, dragging them without hope.
Impotence in their throat with a taste of salt,
A breath of air gives them another chance.
So much injustice makes me desperate, put yourself in their place,
The fear reflected in their eyes, the sea started to cry.
Many don't make it, their dream sinks, wet papers
Ownerless papers, many don't make it
Their dream sinks, wet papers, ownerless papers
Many don't make it, their dream sinks, wet papers, ownerless papers
Many don't make it, their dream sinks, wet papers, ownerless papers
