Donde Dijeron Digo Decid Diego

They taught us to have patience
They taught us not to walk barefoot
They taught us to die of old age
They taught us to live in installments

They taught us to keep silent
They taught us to fear the night
They taught us that pleasure is bad
They taught us to grow with blows

They prohibited the most beautiful things
Going to the countryside to steal figs
Bathing in the summer with the girls in the pool
And we grew sickly, lacking air and kisses

Filling the skin with questions that silence answered
But life appeared when we were dying of thirst
Her body was a fountain inviting the thirsty
To drink, to drink

We tasted the sweetness of flesh
We knew we still had time
We got our fill of kisses, of apples
Declared war on suffering

We shed our old skin in strips
We renounced all we knew
We promised to sin with full hands
We became more tender and more childlike

Now, each day bears its fruit
Each night its secret
And time is a lie
Invented by the old

By tearing off the bandages
That denied us our bodies
We discovered the present
Which is all we have

And we will sing about life
And we won't open the door to death
As long as within our bodies
There remains a drop of desire, of desire
