[English]

Dare

Dare to travel with me

Dare to blindfold yourself

Dare

Dare the new things

Because in those dreams is where I aim

Let's be wonderful friends

Let's put criticism aside

Music has no message to give

Dare

Dare to the unclear

Dare to love the strange

Dare

Dare to sail through chaos

Because on the other side, I wait for you

Let's be wonderful friends

Let's put criticism aside

Music has no message

Music has no morals (Has no morals)

Music has no morals (Has no morals)

Music has no morals (Has no morals)

Music has no morals (Has no morals)

Music has no message to give

And yet it gives it to you

Let's be wonderful friends

Let's be wonderful friends

Let's be wonderful friends.

[Spanish]

Atrévete

Atrévete a viajar conmigo

Atrévete a vendar los ojos

Atrévete

Atrévete a las cosas nuevas

Que en esas quimeras me propongo yo

Seamos estupendos amigos

Dejemos la crítica de lado

La música no tiene mensaje para dar

Atrévete

Atrévete a lo poco claro

Atrévete a querer lo raro

Atrévete

Atrévete a surcar el caos

Que del otro lado te espero yo

Seamos estupendos amigos

Dejemos la crítica de lado

La música no tiene mensaje

La música no tiene moral (No tiene moral)

La música no tiene moral (No tiene moral)

La música no tiene moral (No tiene moral)

La música no tiene moral (No tiene moral)

La música no tiene mensaje para dar

Y sin embargo te lo da

Seamos estupendos amigos

Seamos estupendos amigos

Seamos estupendos amigos.

  ➔ "Atrévete" is the imperative form of the reflexive verb "atreverse" (to dare). It's used to give a direct command or encouragement to someone.

• Atrévete a viajar conmigo

  ➔ Verb + 'a' + infinitive

  ➔ The structure "atreverse a + infinitive" expresses daring to do something. "Viajar" is the infinitive form of the verb 'to travel'.

• Que en esas quimeras me propongo yo

  ➔ Relative Clause with inversion; emphatic use of 'yo'

  ➔ The phrase "me propongo yo" has an inverted word order for emphasis. Usually it would be "yo me propongo". The "yo" is also used to highlight the speaker as the one proposing the ideas.

• Seamos estupendos amigos

  ➔ Subjunctive mood (present), first person plural.

  ➔ "Seamos" is the subjunctive form of the verb "ser" (to be). It's used to express a wish, suggestion, or possibility: 'Let's be wonderful friends'.

• La música no tiene mensaje para dar

  ➔ Verb "tener" (to have) + noun phrase with 'para' indicating purpose

  ➔ The phrase "mensaje para dar" means 'a message to give' or 'a message to impart'. The 'para' preposition indicates the purpose of the message.

• Y sin embargo te lo da

  ➔ Adversative conjunction "sin embargo" (however, nevertheless); Indirect object pronouns ("te", "lo")

  ➔ "Sin embargo" introduces a contrasting idea. "Te" is an indirect object pronoun meaning 'to you' and "lo" refers back to the message. So, 'and yet, it gives it to you'.
