Lyrics and translation Carlos Varela - El Grito Mudo

El Grito Mudo

A ratos nace un árbol
Y otro muere,
La gente vive en un letargo
Que no quiere.
Hay quien se ríe
Cuando te hiere
Y se divierte si te duele.
La gente siempre
Quiere algo que no tiene.
SOLO SOMOS PECES CIEGOS
ESCONDIDOS DETRÁS DEL MIEDO
SUMERGIDOS EN UN MUNDO OSCURO
NADIE ESCUCHA LOS GRITOS MUDOS.
Lucía no salía de su casa.
Sus padres no sabían que pasaba.
En su diario dibujaba
Como en la escuela le pegaban.
Los chicos malos de su barrio
La acosaban y la humillaban a diario.
Aquella tarde gris hizo una carta,
Donde decía:
No aguanto más,
No aguanto más,
No aguanto más,
Madre, estoy harta!
Solo tenía 13 años, una desilusión y una venganza,
Que la encontraran en el techo de su baño
Colgando como santa.
Y ES QUE SOLO SOMOS PECES CIEGOS
ESCONDIDOS DETRÁS DEL MIEDO
SUMERGIDOS EN UN MUNDO OSCURO
NADIE ESCUCHA LOS GRITOS MUDOS.

Silent Scream

Sometimes a tree is born
And another dies,
People live in a slumber
That they don't want.
There are those who laugh
When you're hurt
And are amused if you're in pain.
People always
Want something they don't have.
WE ARE JUST BLIND FISH
HIDING BEHIND FEAR
SUBMERGED IN A DARK WORLD
NO ONE HEARS THE SILENT SCREAMS.
Lucía never left her house.
Her parents didn't know what was going on.
In her diary she drew
How they beat her up at school.
The bad kids in her neighborhood
Harassed her and humiliated her every day.
That gray afternoon she wrote a letter,
Where it said:
I can't take it anymore,
I can't take it anymore,
I can't take it anymore,
Mother, I'm fed up!
She was only 13 years old, a disappointment and a revenge,
That they found her on the ceiling of her bathroom
Hanging like a saint.
AND IT'S THAT WE ARE JUST BLIND FISH
HIDING BEHIND FEAR
SUBMERGED IN A DARK WORLD
NO ONE HEARS THE SILENT SCREAMS.
