Lyrics and translation Tata Barahona - Desperté

Desperté

Desperté, me miré al espejo
Y me vi destrozado y bello
Desperté y me vi desnudo
Desperté y quedé perplejo
Solo me encontré el reflejo del que yo soñaba ser.

Desperté y al abrir los ojos
Descubrí que no estaba solo
Encontré a cientos de miles
A millones que marchaban
Que cantaban y peleaban y empezábanse a querer.

Y formé la primera línea
En mis escritos con los versos
De los que no tienen nada que perder
Más atrás se entonaron cantos
Que cantaban de victorias
De caídos, tuertos, ciegos, no les vamos a olvidar.

Desperté en medio de nubes
Desperté se fue el arcoíris
Desperté y tomé despacio
Las heridas que me hicieron
Y con otros malheridos mis heridas me sané.

Desperté, me miré al espejo
Y me vi destrozado y bello
Descubrí que no estaba solo
Encontré a cientos de miles
Que cantaban y peleaban y empezábanse a querer

Y escribió la primera línea
En los escritos, una historia
Con los que no tienen nada que perder.
Escribió la primera línea
De esta historia que hablará
De un pueblo hermoso que encontró la libertad
Y también cantaremos cantos
Que hablarán de las victorias
De caídos, tuertos, ciegos, no les vamos a olvidar.
(De caídos, tuertos, ciegos, no les vamos a olvidar.)
De caídos, tuertos, ciegos, no les vamos a olvidar.
(De caídos, tuertos, ciegos, no les vamos a olvidar.)
De caídos, tuertos, ciegos, no les vamos a olvidar.
(De caídos, tuertos, ciegos, no les vamos a olvidar.)
De caídos, tuertos, ciegos, no les vamos a olvidar.
(De caídos, tuertos, ciegos, no les vamos a olvidar.)

I Awoke

I awoke, I gazed into the mirror,
And I saw myself shattered and beautiful,
I awoke and saw myself naked,
I awoke and was utterly bewildered,
Only to find myself the reflection of whom I yearned to be.

I awoke, and on opening my eyes,
I discovered that I was not alone,
I stumbled upon hundreds of thousands,
Upon millions who marched,
Who sang, and fought, and began to love one another.

And thus, I formed the first line,
In my writings, with the verses,
Of those who have nothing left to lose,
Further behind, began the songs,
That sang of victories,
Of the fallen, the one-eyed, the blind, we will never forget them.

I awoke amidst the clouds,
I awoke, the rainbow was gone,
I awoke and slowly embraced,
The wounds that had been inflicted upon me,
And with others who were grievously injured, I healed my wounds.

I awoke, I gazed into the mirror,
And I saw myself shattered and beautiful,
I discovered that I was not alone,
I stumbled upon hundreds of thousands,
Who sang, and fought, and began to love one another.

And she penned the first line,
In the scriptures, a story,
With those who have nothing left to lose.
She penned the first line,
Of this tale that shall tell,
Of a beautiful people who discovered freedom
And we shall sing songs,
That shall speak of victories,
Of the fallen, the one-eyed, the blind, we will never forget them.
(Of the fallen, the one-eyed, the blind, we will never forget them.)
Of the fallen, the one-eyed, the blind, we will never forget them.
(Of the fallen, the one-eyed, the blind, we will never forget them.)
Of the fallen, the one-eyed, the blind, we will never forget them.
(Of the fallen, the one-eyed, the blind, we will never forget them.)
Of the fallen, the one-eyed, the blind, we will never forget them.
(Of the fallen, the one-eyed, the blind, we will never forget them.)
