[English]

Everyone blame me for what I did,

but no one tells a truth here.

They think life is eternal,

they think they have everything, but that's not true.

And it takes courage

to keep moving forward

carrying this weight alone.

Whoa!

Mute, blind, stubborn, foolish man,

when you open your eyes it will be too late.

I’m waiting for the revenge

they won’t be able to defeat me, I am reality.

The battle will be

as worthy as the truth.

I have always fought until the end.

Like thunder it returned,

the old sword shines in the sun.

from another age it will come

with its magic to fight.

Everyone told me it couldn’t be done.

I was all alone in a storm,

submerged in mud all the time,

I could see their eyes, I could see the evil...

Now I can shout,

I don’t want to keep it quiet:

I have always fought until the end.

until the end.

until the end.

Fight...

until the end.

until the end.

until the end.

fighting until the end...

[Spanish]

Todos me reprochan lo que hice,

pero nadie dice una verdad aquí.

piensan que la vida es eterna,

creen tenerlo todo, pero no es así.

Y hace falta valor

para poder continuar

cargando este peso en soledad.

¡Woh!

Mudo, ciego, necio, hombre tonto,

cuando abras los ojos muy tarde será.

estoy esperando la revancha

no podrán vencerme soy la realidad.

La batalla será

digna como la verdad.

he luchado siempre hasta el final.

Como el trueno regresó,

vieja espada brilla al sol.

de otros tiempos va a venir

con su magia a combatir.

Todos me decían no se puede.

estaba muy solo en una tempestad,

sumergido en lodo todo el tiempo,

pude ver sus ojos, pude ver el mal...

Ahora puedo gritar,

no lo quiero callar:

he luchado siempre hasta el final.

hasta el final.

hasta el final.

Luchar...

hasta el final.

hasta el final.

hasta el final.

luchando hasta el final...

Key Grammar Structures

• Todos me reprochan lo que hice,

  ➔ Relative clause introduced by **lo que** + past preterite.

  ➔ The phrase **"lo que hice"** functions as a relative clause meaning “what I did”.

• pero nadie dice una verdad aquí.

  ➔ Negative indefinite pronoun **nadie** with present indicative.

  ➔ The word **"nadie"** means “no one” and governs the verb in present tense (**dice**).

• piensan que la vida es eterna,

  ➔ Subordinate clause introduced by **que** + present indicative.

  ➔ The conjunction **"que"** links the main clause **piensan** with the content clause **la vida es eterna**.

• Y hace falta valor para poder continuar

  ➔ Impersonal construction **hace falta** + infinitive phrase **para poder**.

  ➔ The phrase **"hace falta"** means “it is necessary”, followed by the infinitive **"para poder"** (to be able to).

• cargando este peso en soledad.

  ➔ Gerund **cargando** used as adverbial modifier.

  ➔ The **"cargando"** (loading) form expresses an ongoing action that accompanies the main idea.

• cuando abras los ojos muy tarde será.

  ➔ Present subjunctive **abras** after temporal conjunction **cuando**, future main clause **será**.

  ➔ The verb **"abras"** is in the present subjunctive because it refers to a future possibility after **cuando**; **"será"** predicts a future result.

• estoy esperando la revancha

  ➔ Present progressive **estoy esperando** (verb + gerund).

  ➔ The construction **"estoy esperando"** combines the verb **estar** with the gerund **esperando** to express an ongoing action.

• no podrán vencerme, soy la realidad.

  ➔ Future simple **no podrán** + infinitive **vencerme**; present **soy** for self‑identification.

  ➔ The future **"no podrán"** (they will not be able) is followed by the infinitive **"vencerme"** (to defeat me); **"soy"** asserts “I am the reality”.

• he luchado siempre hasta el final.

  ➔ Present perfect **he luchado** (auxiliary **haber** + past participle).

  ➔ The construction **"he luchado"** uses the auxiliary **he** (I have) plus the past participle **luchado** to express an action that started in the past and continues up to now.
