Hace Tres Años Que He Vuelto a Nacer
Victor Manuel
Three Years Since I Was Born Again
We are the shattered lives of yesterday
who have managed to stand tall.
There’s no calm without its storm,
there’s no story that goes back in time.
I always curse while counting to ten
I have a memory and recall the past.
It’s been three years since I was born again
I’ve got a tooth and I respect the law.
All hands are needed
to grow, all arms are necessary
we rise from the ground
molded by mud and future.
Times change and you can hear the voice
of those who never lived in the sun.
I respect him, you respect me
with a gun, there’s nothing to be done.
I don’t step on anyone and I don’t want to learn
I sell and give away my time and my faith.
It’s been three years since I was born again
I love life and respect its law.
