Nobody Knows [English translation]

I don't believe I can

smile.

An answer for everything

it has nothing to do with just watching.

I am stuck on the condition

of not choosing

before the air moves

at that point, a parachute is needed.

If each regret is a half-successful parting,

hold onto your soul, and return my purple shoes.

Throw a glance back before turning,

before measuring the distance

the right distance to consider

that we are not heroes.

The right distance in particular

to make that dream a defeat

one cannot jump to go forward

but nobody knows, nobody knows, nobody knows.

Who claims to know

how to convince

who has a reply for everything

that is usually just being there watching.

Sure, that the position

of not choosing

doesn't make the air move

of not being the only one with a parachute.

If a tear gives birth to something every time,

it is better to leave it to whoever cries over spilt milk.

Throw a glance back before turning,

before measuring the distance

the right distance to consider

that we are not heroes.

The right distance in particular

to make that dream a defeat

one cannot jump to go forward

but nobody knows.

nobody knows, nobody knows...
