Al Lado de Mi Casa

Next to my house
There is another house
Where people are seen living
Like there, like here

Inhabited by beings
Similar to me
A man, a woman
A child unknowingly

They laugh at what I laugh at
They cry about what I cry about
The same happens to you
We are the same in everything

If the world were
Just two families
I'm going to exaggerate
Two people nothing more

How much concern
From one to the other
How much fear of being
Alone in the darkness

Then brotherhood would be
Enjoying coexistence
And not like in reality
Which is about survival

According to the people's saying
To be human
Is more than communion
Or sharing a pair of pants

Loneliness is
Part of the way
Of those who have no gift
Of those who are not lords

If this lesson is applied
To the universal level
Either we stand by another canyon
Or we see them agonize
