Canción de la esperanza [English translation]

We imagined a worthy death in you

and you were splashing the wall

We were an ear, a heartbeat, a heart

meanwhile you were splashing the wall

We expected the rapture with fear

you well know why

So many people couldn't sleep at home

you well know why

We always suspected that life wasn't you

you the old ghostly story

You were the habit, the gun and the altar,

a broken mirror in the attic

The impossible and disgraceful nightmare

the crystal bell

Someday they'll say you didn't exist

more than a dream in fact

May the hope don't quit cornered

with the vote almost nothing changes

May the hope don't quit cornered

after the dog died, the rabid didn't leave with him

It was almost easy to rebel against you

in a union, in a paper

All the politics were done against you

you were the resume to defeat

Now everything is more complex

the hardest thing is yet to grow up

And accepting the others decide for you

with the vote you give to them

I always dreamed he's leave once and for all

I never dreamed with a king

This chess game is so uneven

they have the vote and the power

Let's continue with the fight always alive

in the office or in a workshop

The history pushes us cursing

in a table in a café.
