Con La Mano Levantá

• Por: Macaco, Estopa

Letra:

[Español]

[English]

Con la mano levanta, al pasado le digo adiós

With my hand raised, I say goodbye to the past

Y el futuro que vendrá dicen que pende de un hilo

And the future to come, they say it hangs by a thread

Y el presente aqui contigo mano a mano

And the present here with you, hand in hand

Oye mi hermano disfruta el camino

Listen my brother, enjoy the journey

Con la mano levanta, al pasado le digo adiós

With my hand raised, I say goodbye to the past

Y el futuro que vendrá, dicen que pende de un hilo

And the future to come, they say it hangs by a thread

Y el presente aqui contigo, mano a mano

And the present here with you, hand in hand

Oye mi hermano disfruta el camino

Listen my brother, enjoy the journey

Con la mano levanta, tocaré

With my hand raised, I will touch

Bri, bri, voy tocando el cielo

Bri, bri, I'm touching the sky

Con la mano levanta, tocaré

With my hand raised, I will touch

Bri, bri, voy tocando el cielo

Bri, bri, I'm touching the sky

De puntillas pa'tocar, voy subiendo un escalón

On tiptoes to touch, I'm going up a step

Escribiendo otra canción, de escaleras al cielo

Writing another song, of stairways to heaven

Busco un sitio pa' saltar, que me de alas pa volar

I look for a place to jump, that gives me wings to fly

Realidad a ras de suelo

Reality at ground level

Con las manos levantas, no nos vieron al pasar

With hands raised, they didn't see us pass

¿Cuantas manos hay que alzar para que escuchen de nuevo?

How many hands do we have to raise for them to listen again?

Duerma la imaginación, tu escudo no protección

May imagination sleep, your shield is not protection

Intuyendo el movimiento

Sensing the movement

Con la mano levanta, tocaré

With my hand raised, I will touch

Bri, bri voy tocando el cielo

Bri, bri I'm touching the sky

Con la mano levanta, tocaré

With my hand raised, I will touch

Bri, bri voy tocando el cielo

Bri, bri I'm touching the sky

Buscando

Looking for

Salté la valla, corri mil batallas

I jumped the fence, I fought a thousand battles

Pero aqui estoy de nuevo

But here I am again

Perdí el aliento pero no me siento

I lost my breath but I don't feel it

Busco carrerilla

I'm looking for a run-up

Pa' saltar, pa' saltar, pa' saltar, pa' saltar

To jump, to jump, to jump, to jump

Con la mano levanta

With my hand raised

Tocare

I will touch

Con la mano levanta

With my hand raised

Tocaré, el cielo

I will touch, the sky

Con la mano levanta

With my hand raised

Tocare, yo tocare

I will touch, I will touch

Con la mano levanta

With my hand raised

Tocaré, el cielo

I will touch, the sky
