Ahora

I hit the streets
No kids in the parks
Today, social media is cooler
Cupid is out of work
His place has been taken by a virtual assistant

Not a caress
Not a smile
We don't even stop to listen to the sea
What's new today
Becomes old in a minute

I return to the neighborhood where I used to play every day
The swings are no longer there
The old tobacconist demolished
Now it's a betting parlor
And tomorrow, who knows

And we look at each other
And we greet each other
We don't even respect the elders anymore
You're in such a hurry
I'm so slow
What's a lie and what's the truth

Now, where nothing starts where you left it
Our lives are shop windows
When the urgent beats the important

Now, where we lose our lives between screens
They tailor-made dreams for us
Closed doors, hidden keys

Everything is now
If you can slow down
From afar you'll see it
Passing bird, witnesses of failure
It only smells like loneliness

Rude times
Nervous laughter
In your bubble, you won't get wet
Open your eyes
Look up at the sky
Learn not to forget

Now, where nothing starts where you left it
Our lives are shop windows
When the urgent beats the important

Now, where we lose our lives between screens
They tailor-made dreams for us
Closed doors, hidden keys

I've opened the old trunk
Memories of my childhood
The horn, my spinning top
The bottle caps and Mazinger
The trading cards and that yo-yo
That I never danced very well
Today we're going to rescue
The child you were yesterday

I've opened the old trunk
Memories of my childhood
The horn, my spinning top
The bottle caps and Mazinger
The trading cards and that yo-yo
That I never danced very well
Today we're going to rescue
The child you were yesterday
