Para Nada
Rosana Arbelo
For Nothing
Why? For nothing
Why? Why? For nothing
Why walk barefoot aimlessly?
Why raise the sails of the world?
Why? For nothing
Why lower the sentence?
Why if sorrow kills you?
Why? Why? For nothing
Why put perfume on life?
Why if the wound stings?
Why? For nothing
Why keep living in a hurry
Looking for luck in the shit you step on?
You're going to end up grounded, why?
For nothing, for nothing
Why? Why? For nothing
Why shoot down oblivion?
Why if you put yourself in the line of fire?
Why? For nothing
Why a truce of hugs?
Neither killing nor dying by bullets
Why? Why? For nothing
Why keep living in a hurry
Looking for luck in the shit you step on?
You're going to end up without dreaming, why?
For nothing, for nothing
Why? Why? For nothing
For nothing, for nothing
Why? Why?
For nothing, a stranded life is worth nothing
Today it's your turn to break the deck
Because anchored, you neither rise nor fall
To be, to be, to take flight
Today it's your turn to let go of the moorings
Why get drunk on oblivion
If you're going to drink what you've lived?
What do you mean, why? Because you can
And I know that if you want, you have more than enough wings
What do you mean, for nothing? What do you mean, for nothing?
What do you mean, for nothing? What do you mean, for nothing?
