Paroles et traduction Mercedes Sosa - Honrar La Vida (Live 1992))

Honrar La Vida (Live 1992))

¡No!, permanecer y transcurrir
No es perdurar, no es existir, ni honrar la vida.
Hay tantas manera de no ser
Tanta conciencia sin saber adormecida.
Merecer la vida no es callar ni consentir tantas injusticias repetidas;
Una virtud es dignidad y es la actitud de identidad mas definida
Eso de durar y transcurrir no nos da derecho a presumir
Porque no es lo mismo que vivir¡Honrar la vida!.
¡No!, permanecer y transcurrir
No siempre quiere sugerir honrar la vida.
Hay tanta pequeña vanidad
En nuestra tonta humanidad enceguecida.
Merecer la vida es erguirse vertical mas allá del mar de las caídas;
Es igual que darle a la verdad y a nuestra propia libertad la bienvenida
Eso de durar y transcurrir no nos da derecho a presumir
Porque no es lo mismo que vivir ¡Honrar la vida!.

Honoring Life (Live 1992))

No! To simply exist and pass through life
Is not to endure, to exist, nor to honor life.
There are so many ways to not be
So many consciences, dormant without knowledge.
Deserving life is not to be silent or to consent to so many injustices repeated;
A virtue is dignity and is the most defined attitude of identity.
That of enduring and passing through does not give us the right to presume
Because it is not the same as living...Honoring life!
No!, to simply exist and pass through life
Does not always imply honoring life.
There is so much petty vanity
In our foolish blinded humanity.
Deserving life is to stand upright above the sea of downfalls;
It is the same as welcoming truth and our own freedom.
That of enduring and passing through does not give us the right to presume
Because it is not the same as living....Honoring life!
