No Fuimos Héroes
Tino Casal
We Weren't Heroes
I still remember the promises
in that cocktail bar,
how naive I was,
our glasses clinked,
body and soul at once,
love and fight.
The streets were ours,
the corners and the bar
our headquarters,
we burned the ozone
with spray paint
maybe subversive?
No, we weren't heroes,
everything was already written
they mutilated our dreams.
No, we weren't heroes,
our myths are dying,
we inherited a hell.
Stop thinking
if we did right or wrong,
if we still have something to do,
let's do it right.
I'm not your hero,
I'm not your hero,
no, I'm not your hero,
I'm not your hero, no.
When I get lost
in that dive bar,
I feel again
the same sensations,
the nostalgia of yesterday,
love and smile.
We believed, convinced
we'd never grow old,
how fast it went,
we spent half our lives
defying love,
and I wonder
now what?
No, we weren't heroes,
living like outcasts
and dying like lepers.
No, we weren't heroes,
a dance of the damned
was our best legacy.
Stop thinking
if we did right or wrong,
if we still have something to do,
let's do it right.
I'm not your hero,
I'm not your hero, no,
I'm not your hero,
I'm not your hero, no.
