Mentir [English translation]

Life forces us sometimes to take some twists and turns

To hide the truth by clothing it in velvet,

Manipulate the ones to protect the others

Without ever revealing to whom belongs the fault

Lying , to flee,

our(individual/narrative) reflection in the mirror

Lying to not disappoint

To blend in the set (as in theatre stage decorations)

Never stopping to

Lying , to flee,

our(individual/narrative)reflection in the mirror

Lying until seeing yourself no more

To blend in the set

Never stopping to be : lying, lying.

Tortured by the boredom, we create ourselves stories (narrative/individual)

So well-versed in lying, we end up believing ourselves (narrative/individual)

How to make it thru without deceiving everyone

At the moment of the departure, taking it in our(narrative/individual) grave?

Who will wipe our tears?

Who will see through the veil?

Who will finally break the mask?
