Y Mariana

There is always someone who would like to be different,
no one is satisfied with what they got.
The old one would like to be a child
and the youngster scratches his budding fuzz.
Those who have nothing want something,
those who have something want even more.
To pretend the world is long,
to settle for it, never has been invented.

A man would like to be a woman
and a girl wants to be a man.
Even God dreams of having power.
And Mariana and Mariana and Mariana
wants to be a song.

Tolerance is the passion of the inquisitors.
The good thief wishes he didn't have to steal.
The nightingales owe their voice to silence.
Eternity is nothing but a trick
to keep going.

Freedom is only visible to those who work for it
and in the forbidden, temptation shines cunningly.
Sometimes being born kills and being happy tears apart.
Who will we accuse when love triumphs?

A man would like to be a woman
and a girl wants to be a man.
Even God dreams of having power.
And Mariana and Mariana and Mariana
wants to be a song.
