Guitarra, dímelo tú [English translation]

If I ask the world

the world must betray me

everyone thinks they don't change

and the others do.

And I spend the dawns

looking for a ray of light.

Why is the night so long?

Guitar, you tell me.

What yesterday was tender truth

becomes a harsh lie

and even fertile earth

becomes a sandy area.

And I spend the dawns

looking for a ray of light.

Why is the night so long?

Guitar, you tell me.

Men are dead Gods

from an already fallen time

not even their dreams were saved

only the shadow is left.

And I ask the world

and the world must betray me

everyone thinks they don't change

and the others do.

And I spend the dawns

looking for a ray of light.

Why is the night so long?

Guitar, you tell me.
