Y Mariana [English translation]

There is always one who wants to be different,

no one is compliant with what they touched on

One of age would like to be a child

And the raptor scrapes its down into a flower.

Those who have nothing want something,

those who have something want still more.

To pretend the world is long,

to conform, they invented "never."

A man would like to be a woman

and a girl wants to be a man.

Until God dreams that he is a power.

And Mariana wants to be a song.

Tolerance is the passion of the inquisitors.

The good thief would like to not have to steal.

The nightingales must silence their voice.

Eternity is nothing more than a trick for continuation.

Freedom is only visible for those who labor for it

and in that which is prohibited temptation cunningly shines.

Birth kills sometimes and tears happiness.

Who will we accuse when love triumphs?
