Hombre [English translation]

Man with the bleak façade,

face time with a brave face.

Don't be a sea nor a river

or be either or nothing at all.

Man of an average stature,

give hope to your life.

You're no better off going in a hurry

to walk the distance,

to walk the distance.

Man, if that's what you claim to be,

don't disrupt your progress

or you'll make this life your grave

and in that grave you'll dwell.

If you possess a rose

then you must look at its thorns,

and if you don't know pain

then you won't know happiness.

Man, don't beg the Lord

to give you a house,

better yet, thank him

that you have a life and a job.

What good is your voice for?

what's the point of words?

when you're frightened at the slightest

movement of rough waves,

movement of rough waves.

Man, if that's what you claim to be,

don't disrupt your progress

or you'll make this life your grave

and in that grave you'll dwell.

If you possess a rose

then you must look at its thorns,

and if you don't know pain

then you won't know happiness.

You're no more of a man by appearance

than you are by shouting the loudest and being frightening,

you're a man by carry the truth in your voice

and in your words.

Not even if you have the most women,

not even if you drink the most and can endure it,

you're a man when you have a single woman

and can quench your thirst,

and can quench your thirst.

Man, if that's what you claim to be,

don't disrupt your progress

or you'll make this life your grave

and in that grave you'll dwell.

If you possess a rose

then you must look at its thorns,

and if you don't know pain

then you won't know happiness.
