[English]

Stained tears

Tears of a blind man

The heart that cries

Because they won’t let it smile

Tears of hate

Tears of a child

A great shadow divides them

Not even knowing where to go

Not knowing why they can’t go

The day the world

decides to listen

it might be

too late

to change

Brought into this world

to suffer

and to fight, to live

and not to die

Tears of rage

Tears of a world

My tortured lives

and a pain that cannot escape

Withered tears

Tears of a gray hue

I will cry with you

and together we can fight the pain

The suffering in this hostile world

The day the world

decides to listen

it might be

too late

to change

Brought into this world

to suffer

and to fight, to live

and not to die

Look at the sky

it weeps blood

A sad legacy you left us

I will fight for a future

so uncertain and insecure

without your help I’m left naked

The day the world

decides to listen

it might be

too late

to change

Brought into this world

to suffer

and to fight, to live

and not to die

The day the world

decides to listen

it might be

too late

to change

Brought into this world

to suffer

and to fight, to live

and not to die

...

[Spanish]

Lagrimas manchadas

lagrimas de ciego

el corazón que llora

por que no lo dejan sonreir

Lagrimas de odio

lagrimas de un niño

gran sombra los separa

sin saber siquiera donde ir

sin saber por que no pueden ir

El dia que el mundo

quiera escuchar

puede ser

tarde ya

para cambiar

Traidos al mundo

para sufrir

y luchar, por vivir

y no morir

Lagrimas de ira

Lagrimas de un mundo

mis vidas torturadas

y un dolor que no puede salir

Lagrimas marchitas

Lagrimas de un color gris

lloraré contigo

y el dolor podremos combatir

el sufrir por este mundo hostil

El dia que el mundo

quiera escuchar

puede ser

tarde ya

para cambiar

Traidos al mundo

para sufrir

y luchar, por vivir

y no morir

Mira al cielo

llora sangre

triste herencia nos dejaste

Luchare por un futuro

tan incierto e inseguro

sin tu ayuda estoy desnudo

El dia que el mundo

quiera escuchar

puede ser

tarde ya

para cambiar

Traidos al mundo

para sufrir

y luchar, por vivir

y no morir

El dia que el mundo

quiera escuchar

puede ser

tarde ya

para cambiar

Traidos al mundo

para sufrir

y luchar, por vivir

y no morir
