Va a escampar [English translation]

Today he faces up to whatever may come

Be it for good, or all bad.

And even when he may lose

He´s going to bite his tongue to hold on.

Today that he sees clearly the things

That yesterday he didn´t see, he´s not about to demand

He´s leaning on his pain

He wants to understand in order to move on

The battle is here

And it explodes against him

Some day it´s going to stop raining.

And how is he going to get out of this one.

He wants the answer

(but) he knows it is not to run away.

Today how weird everyone looks at him

He stands up and he wants to talk

And his mouth forgets

What once it wanted to explain.

His patience is about to start

A circus to see parade

The pain which used to be

And the pain he no longer wants to see come back.

He looks for shelter in a streetlamp

And between two flowers which are always pointing to the sun.

That´s how he crosses over his wall,

He smiles at me and breaks away with his own net.

Today he feels satisfied

Even though that role no longer exists.

He sticks out his chest to life

And his song is played once again

Today he receives the applauses

He knew how to be salt as well as honey

And he connects with his steps

That to fall over is not taken well

His war is over

The feet back on the ground

And his hand reaches a heart.

His thinking is quiet

His sorrow, oblivion

And his soul, a passion

Today he faces up to whatever may come

Be it for good, or all bad

And even when he loses what he has

He´s going to bite his tongue to hold on

His patience is about to start

A circus to see parade

The pain which used to be

And the pain he no longer wants to see come back.

He looks for shelter in a streetlamp

And between two flowers which are always pointing to the sun.

That´s how he crosses over his wall,

He smiles at me and breaks away with his own net.
