Soltando lastre

By force of blows
I became a fighter
I no longer wait for anyone
on my answering machine
Messages don't come
from the outside world

In the ring I learned
how to win a round
When the bell rings
I keep on hitting

They don't play the music from before
I have no friends
I have no lovers
but I keep in my pockets
a couple of diamonds
Here you have me
letting go of ballast

We grew up with the desire
to have a past
Electric years
Strange days

And the dead friends
burn me inside
We are no longer immortal
now we are eternal
