Lyrics and translation Gustavo Cordera - Un Abuso




Un Abuso
An Abuse
Nos enseñaron a ver el mundo por la ventana
They taught us to see the world through a window
Quedarnos quietos, vivir sentados, perder las ganas
To sit still, to live seated, to lose desire
Desconectarnos hasta olvidar de nosotros mismos
To disconnect until we forget about ourselves
Acobardados nada creamos, nos destruimos
Cowards, we create nothing, we destroy ourselves
Y no respetan ya, ni siquiera, nuestra mirada
And they no longer respect, not even, our gaze
Quieren llegar a que de nosotros, no quede nada
They want to get to the point where nothing is left of us
Eso es un abuso a la intimidad
That's an abuse of privacy
Eso es un abuso a la desnudez
That's an abuse of nudity
Eso es un abuso a la libertad
That's an abuse of freedom
Eso es un abuso a la niñez
That's an abuse of childhood
Eso es un abuso a la divinidad
That's an abuse of divinity
Eso es un abuso a mi corazón
That's an abuse of my heart
Eso es un abuso a mi propia voz
That's an abuse of my own voice
Eso es un abuso al mismo Dios
That's an abuse of God Himself
Y ahora viajan por nuestras venas con sus mentiras
And now they travel through our veins with their lies
Nos envenenan con la comida y la medicina
They poison us with food and medicine
Recetan sexo con sus recetas de moralina
They prescribe sex with their recipes of moralizing
Porque ellos temen que despertemos tanta energía
Because they fear that we will awaken so much energy
Y nos inyectan ese veneno todos los días
And they inject us with this poison every day
Para vendernos que, estar dormidos, es mejor vida
To sell us that being asleep is a better life
Y eso es un abuso a la ciencia, al arte
And that's an abuse of science, of art
Eso es un abuso al espíritu y a mi carne
That's an abuse of the spirit and my flesh
Eso es un abuso a este presente ciego, sordo y mudo
That's an abuse of this blind, deaf and mute present
Eso es un abuso alo que espero, a mi futuro
That's an abuse of what I hope for, my future
Y eso es un abuso a todos los que dieron su vida
And that's an abuse of all those who gave their lives
Para que hoy estemos mejor
So that today we are better
Eso es un abuso a los que se levantan todos los días
That's an abuse of those who rise every day
Para afrontar este horror
To face this horror
Eso es un abuso a todos los que todavía creemos en el amor
That's an abuse of all those who still believe in love
Eso es un abuso a las almas
That's an abuse of souls
Todas las mentiras se exponen al sol
All the lies are exposed to the sun
Todas las mentiras se iluminan
All the lies are illuminated
Todas las mentiras se exponen al sol
All the lies are exposed to the sun
Todas las mentiras se iluminan
All the lies are illuminated
Todas las mentiras se exponen al sol
All the lies are exposed to the sun
Todas las mentiras se iluminan
All the lies are illuminated
Se revelan, se iluminan, se revelan, ay
They are revealed, they are illuminated, they are revealed, oh
Todas las mentiras se exponen al sol
All the lies are exposed to the sun
Y se iluminan
And they are illuminated
