Pies Descalzos, Sueños Blancos

You belonged to an ancient race
Of bare feet and white dreams
You were dust, dust you are, think
That iron always, in heat, is soft

You bit the apple
And renounced paradise
And condemned a serpent
Being the one who wanted it

For millennia and millennia
You remained naked
And faced dinosaurs
Under a roof and without a shield

And now you're here
Wanting to be happy
When you didn't give a damn about your destiny

You belonged to an ancient race
Of bare feet and white dreams
You were dust, dust you are, think
That iron always, in heat, is soft

You built a precise world
With such perfect finishes
Everything calculated
In its space and time

I, who am complete chaos
The entrances, the exits
The names and measurements
Don't fit in my brain

And now you're here
Wanting to be happy
When you didn't give a damn about your destiny

You belonged to an ancient race
Of bare feet and white dreams
You were dust, dust you are, think
That iron always, in heat, is

You belonged to an ancient race
Of bare feet and white dreams
You were dust, dust you are, think
That iron always, in heat, is soft

Greet the neighbor, go to bed at a certain time
Work every day, to live in life
And answer only that and feel only this
And may God protect us from bad thoughts

Fulfill the tasks, attend school
What would the family say if you're a failure?
Always wear shoes, don't make noise at the table
Wear sheer stockings and a tie at parties

Women always marry before thirty
If not, they'll dress saints, even if they don't want to
And at the quinceañera party, it's best not to forget
A fine champagne and dance the waltz

And dance the waltz
