Todo a pulmón [English translation]

it becomes so hard

to keep my self on this journey

without really knowing where I'm going

if it's a one way trip or a round one

if this wagon is first class

if returning is a way to arrive

it becomes so hard

to carry all this luggage

the walk becomes hard on the way up

this tyrannical reality

that laughs out loud

because it expects me to get tired of seeking

every drop, every idea

every step in my carreer

and the verse of my last song

if every postponed date

the start and the finishing line

and the oxygen of my breathing

and everything "by lung"

everything "by lung"

it becomes so hard

to keep the courage

away from the scam and the prostitution

to defend my ideology

good or bad, but mine

so humane as contradiction

it becomes so hard

to keep paying toll

in this road of insanity and ambition

a friend on the race

a light and a staircase

and the strength of doing it all "by lung"
