Lyrics and translation Illapu - Me habita la confianza

Me habita la confianza

Cuando digo amigo mío
Que mo e tiempo de nostalgia
Que aunque la aparencia cambia
Sigue viva la esperanza
Y aunque la justicia tarda
La verdad desata el alba
Hacia el sol de otra mañana
Digo entonces que se avanza.

Cuando digo amigo mío
Que la frase ay que cambiarla
Se acabó y hay que enterrarla
Al otoño va el patriarca
Y aunque es la primera instancia
La sentencia ya le aguarda
Ya está abierta la ventana
Y la puerta hay que ganarla.

Cuando digo amigo mío
Que me habita la confianza
No es que crea que todo anda
Que ya no hace falta nada
Y si el mundo salta y cambia
La miseria reina y manda
Que esta faja angosta y larga
No ha ganado su alborada.

Cuando digo amigo mío
Que la utopía no ha muerto
Que yo sueño aún despierto
Sin frenar mi pensamiento
Que aunque la meta esté lejos
Y el camino se haga lento
No descansaré un momento
De cantar mi sentimiento.

I Am Inhabited by Confidence

When I say my friend
That it is time to feel nostalgic
That although appearances change
Hope remains alive
And even though justice is slow
Truth unleashes the dawn
Towards the sun of another morning
I say then that we are moving forward.

When I say my friend
That the slogan that requires changing
It is over and must be buried
Autumn comes to the patriarch
And although it is the first instance
His sentence already awaits him
The window is already open
And the door must be earned.

When I say my friend
That I am inhabited by confidence
It is not that I believe that everything is perfect
That nothing more is needed
And if the world jumps and changes
Misery reigns and dictates
That this narrow and long strip
Has not won its dawn.

When I say my friend
That utopia is not dead
That I still dream while awake
Without restraining my thoughts
That although the goal is far
And the journey is slow
I will not rest for a moment
From singing my sentiments.
