Ideas Nuevas

We must learn to unlearn
That's not a contradiction, it's to mend
Not everything that is seen is reality
Not everything that is heard is the truth

We must learn
That not everything taught makes us grow
Excuse me, excuse my insistence, but
I like to sing
And release in a trill
What I should cry
Because I learned that in this dirt
Sorrows should not be silenced

Now throw your cards in the middle
Life is like a game
It entertains, fills you suddenly
But sometimes luck fails us
I want to see us dare to grow our own
And prove that we can live
On our own in our house
Cleanse our blanket of the militia
Live humbly and free in our house
Let go of the teat and walk, let your thoughts flow, take the reins
And learn to unlearn
That's not a contradiction, it's to mend
Not everything that is seen is reality
Not everything that is heard is the truth

We must learn that not everything taught
Makes us grow
No

New ideas are needed
Contribute what you feel
New ideas are needed
Because habit confines us

The wind blows strong today
Bury your roots
The hurricane is coming with force
Grab firm ground
Don't let yourself be carried away, don't let yourself be programmed

Grow your own ideas, grow your own ideas
Because the government is demagogic
And our shield is to doubt, nothing more
The government is demagogic
Our machete is to think and act today

New ideas are needed
Contribute what you feel
New ideas are needed
Discover yourself today
New ideas are needed
Reasons abound
New ideas are needed
Because habit confines us

New ideas are needed!
