Lyrics & Translation

[English] Pieces of paper, lost in the sea
Wind carrying them off, aimlessly

How white is yesterday, how sad the future
Full of questions that never end
Who guides the wind?
Who breaks the leaves?
Of those palm trees that cry
Who controls time?
That they lose alone
Who weaves the nets that suffocate them?

Sailing in pain
A boat without a rudder
Carrying memories of the life left behind
The sky green and gray
Ivory snow
Falls on the dream
That once could live
But, who guides the wind?
Who breaks the leaves?
Of those palm trees that cry
Who controls the time?
That they lose alone
Who weaves the nets that suffocate them?
