Ida y Vuelta

You don't know how much I miss my life from before
An unfair salary was fair and a pompous boss
Going to freestyle without permission, dressed as a student
Not arriving late so they don't have to wait for you

Receiving the morning in the presence of my parents
Bothering you because something made the dogs bark
Now I belong to someone by name and I feel important
You don't know how much I miss my life from before

There's really a lack of love in this era
It kills my hope to see bodies on the sidewalks
Of the world I walk and especially my beautiful Venezuela
Which is no longer the same land that saw my grandmother grow up

See how hatred is waiting for us outside
How they divide race, money, and borders
Do they still kill for religion and flag?
There's really a lack of love in this era

Now, put your hand on your heart
And think of ten reasons to have a million
If in all of them you thought of yourself and a luxurious prison
Then I'm glad to know that I'm not the one with the problem

How much damage to your liver, your mind, your lung?
How many lives did you risk to fulfill your mission?
You swear you're very happy being alone in your mansion
Now put your hand on your heart

Music has always been there, but I'm an idiot
Who clings to his ego and doesn't notice its presence
It wants to say ten thousand things but its soul is broken
And lives looking in the world where it can buy another

It has countless wounds, its self-esteem like a pet
A nice family with wonderful ideas
Sometimes I feel alone and think nobody cares
And music has always been there, but I'm an idiot

I wish I didn't know anything to be happy again
And wait for that takeoff that will take me to heaven
I hate ignorance because I didn't know
It's what makes every day not so blindly walk

How many children die of hunger, how many disappeared?
How many lives, how many wars, how many bombs, how many zeros?
It makes me unhappy to see the world dominated by a game
And I wish I didn't know anything to be happy again

I have this song left, if you want I'll give you half
Although for what it generates, you only want my friendship
Tell me if I'm hallucinating, you seek true love
Because you could be talking about giving you my eternity

And the truth is, you're the only one who's always there
And more when the bad comes, the one they call loneliness
If you want to stay with me, I can even pay you
I only have this song left, if you want I'll give you half
