As Baleias [English translation]

How can you bear the feeling

Of looking into the eyes of what dies in your hands

Seing it struggling in agony along the ocean

An even feel like a winner right then

How is it possible that deep inside

Your heart has no tears in store

To shed over the spilled red

In the blue of the waters you left stained

Your grandchildren will ask you in a few years

For the whales that used to cross oceans

That they saw in old books

Or in the archive movies

Of afternoon television programs

The bitter taste of silence in your mouth

It will take you back to the sea and to the mad rage

Of a tail exposed to the winds

In its last moments

Remembered in a harpoon-shaped trophy

How can you have the courage

Not to let grow life about to be born

In another life without a safe place

Asks you for the chance of future existence

Change course and seek your feelings

It will make you a real winner

It's still time to hear the voice of the winds

In a song that speaks much more of love

Your grandchildren will ask you in a few years

For the whales that used to cross oceans

That they saw in old books

Or in the archive movies

Of afternoon television programs

The bitter taste of silence in your mouth

It will take you back to the sea and the mad fury

Of a tail exposed to the winds

In its last moments

Remembered in a harpoon-shaped trophy

How can you bear such feeling
