Todo inventamos [English translation]

They say we're good for nothing and that everything's the same,

soon we will become dust, everything else is made up by us.

They say we never understood, we always stumble over the same stone,

time can be taken, but we've never learned.

But why did I see you crying? Now I know it's good for something.

They say we're always destroying, even what we've created,

nothing changes with a new year, it's only a number, it's no use.

But why did I see you crying? Now I know there's a place for everything,

there's a place for everything, for everything...

They say we're good for nothing and that everything's the same,

soon we will become dust, everything else is made up by us.

But why did I see you crying? Now I know it's worth it.
