Changing the World
- Eh, Nacho, Nacho
- What's up?
- You keep looking out there, right?
- Yes, of course, always, why?
- I would like to change this reality. I don't know, give it some meaning.
- Then do it, man.
- But you are the wizard of words, the one who turns storytelling into an art, why don't you change reality, man? You can change the world.
- Change the world, change course... well...
Let the bull stab the matador,
let the prisoner lock up the guard,
let the sultan leave his throne to the fool,
let Don Juan go blind,
let the ice burn and the fire quench the thirst,
let only the blind see and in the game one can lose,
let the only net that exists
be that of the trapeze artist,
let the pessimist smile,
let the terrorists explode,
let the mute speak, let all the chatterboxes
have a knot in their mouths, let everything turn raw,
let the vagabond visit the park bench,
and let the banker sleep on the park bench,
let only tanks be filled with beer,
let the fish catch the fisherman,
let the tiger tame the tamer,
let the eyes wink not to aim better,
let the immigrant mistreat the police officer,
let the sun come out at night and during the day
let the streets be empty,
let the crosses break and the cages open,
let education be on the streets and the classrooms close,
let guns and rifles only shoot water,
let the word guerrilla not exist in Nicaragua,
let only fashion be designed and not drugs,
let Maria and Juana celebrate their weddings,
let tomorrow be yesterday, and let time stop,
let swimming be done in the mountains and walking in the seas,
let the freeloaders die and the dying live, from N to S.
Changing the world, from N to S,
changing the world, from zero to infinity,
changing the world, from my mind to your mind, changing the world [x2]
That television be banned
and hashish be legalized,
that I cannot regret those things I did,
that the south be the north and the north be the south,
that the sky turns gray,
that the earth turns blue,
that tears flow at births and smiles at funerals,
that life between concrete and glass is not so full of evils,
that the rich and famous become desperate poor,
that meadows grow,
that senates collapse,
that only those who ask to come into the world do so,
and that I can leave this body in which I had to live,
that Africa be magical land and not tragic,
that the swastikas be broken,
that differences do not provoke fear,
that more 'I love you's are said,
that love beats money,
that children remember and the elderly play,
that villains become heroes and heroes become villains,
that sirens do not sound,
that sorrows are not heard,
that rancor stops flowing through our veins,
that black be white and male be gay,
that the homeless become the sultan of Brunei,
that those who ask for a hand do not receive fists,
that my wounds, scars, and scratches be erased,
that Satan be merciful and Christ be filthy, from zero to infinity... changing the world.
Changing the world, from N to S,
changing the world, from zero to infinity,
changing the world, from my mind to your mind, changing the world [x2]
Listen well, the liveliest and wisest people are the ones we least take into account,
I will continue with my feet on the ground
always looking at the sky,
trying to change the world with my kisses, with great verses, and loaded with Hip-Hop to the bones...
Changing the world, from N to S,
changing the world, from zero to infinity,
changing the world, from my mind to your mind, changing the world [x2]
