El arrepentido [English translation]

Today I am going to tell the story

of the remorseful who,

living in the memories of his past,

has lost his way.

He is the brother of the one who

always wanders in the future,

spending long periods of time

deaf, blind, and mute.

Today I'm going to sing the song

of the remorseful.

If you jump, you live, but you have to jump in, 1

and there is no subway stop that takes us to that place,

where fears are confused with life,

and there is no other way out than to meet again...

With the present,

the one that brings us the scores to settle,

(from) the most humble, (to) even the most influential,

he who says to you: "Listen to me, come on, be good,

Let's go to Oviedo, (for) the train leaves us. "

Today I am going to tell the story

of the one who looks outside,

wanting to find others to blame

for his problems.

The one who goes through life

(thinking he is) being right, always,

and does not know that

what he defends does not exist.

Today I'm going to sing the song

of the remorseful.

If you jump, you live, but you have to jump in,

and there is no subway stop that takes us to that place,

where fears are confused with life,

and there is no other way out than to meet again with the present.

Where the ghosts run away.

Superstitions drown.

Where the whole world dances

to the rhythm of the hearts.

There where all the fears, Carlos,

disappear.

Where all the sorrows leave

when they see me appear.

If you jump, you live, but you have to jump in,

and there is no subway stop that takes us to that place,

where fears are confused with life

and there is no other way out than to meet again with ourselves.

Wake up!

Every second that passes a door closes.

In each wasted look a view dies.

Every moment that is gone does not come back.

Wake up, connect your body

through the mind, to the source

that moves even what you can't see,

because you think it's inert.

And, that way, you can finally know what the planet cries out for.

The time has come for us to look inside. Wake up!
