Ojos De Perro Azul
Rubén Blades
Blue Dog Eyes
Blue dog eyes, cynically looking at the city
Elliptically judging society. Critically smiling at humanity
Blue dog eyes, madly seeking
Reality, hopelessly waiting to see the truth
Ominously shining in the darkness
A walk that turns into escape, escape that
Becomes a date; the meaning blurs in our lives
When we run in eternal retreats that we try
To turn into discoveries, every morning
Blue dog eyes, jumping from face to face in
Their loneliness, measuring fear in distances to walk
Wanting to find their home in what is no longer
Blue dog eyes, chained to a past without
Will, not a slave yet not free
With dreams that are forgotten upon waking
Watching people who have fled
Towns running in eternal retreats, seeing their escape
Become a date, because from the encounter with the truth
No one escapes, even if you hide behind the promise
Of a tomorrow, that is not enough
Blue dog eyes, stumbling through the streets with
Malice, sarcastically laughing to see that
Today the lie is stronger than the truth
Where are you going, when it's time for the truth what color is your lie?
Where are you going, and explain to me what is better, losing the soul or life?
Where are you going, the world will only belong to those who walk without fear
Where are you going, because, what good is it to live being a stranger inside
Where are you going, tired eyes of looking at the evil of the stronger
Where are you going, people afraid to live and at the same time scared of death
Where are you going, people seeing in this world a reflection of a false reality
Where are you going, there is no mirror that without our help can tell the truth
Where are you going, dictators, guerrillas, for their useless lottery
Where are you going, mortgage, no job, new car and the mistress
Where are you going, people running on the outside and inside in continuous retreat
Where are you going, don't be afraid of fear because scared living is worth nothing
