Текст и перевод песни La Raíz - Elegiré

Elegiré

La senda está mala y hoy en día es difícil seguir recto
Lo único que puedo hacer es no tener secretos,
Camino paso a paso, así se escriben los cuentos
Y un micro no es delito, es una forma de que no digan ni pío.

Y ahora siento tu aliento como una llama
Veo mi herida cerrarse en tu cama
Miénteme jugando a que nada te asusta.

(¿Sabes qué?)
Elegiré, elegiremos volar, volar,
A hundir los pies, a hundir los pies en barros de vulgaridad.
Yo le dije al camino, "tranquilo",
No tengo ganas de ver tu final.
Voy despacito, voy tan tranquilo
Que hasta las horas andan hacia atrás.
Hay gente con prisa que nos pisa,
Pero quiero volar y escapar como Ícaro.
Voy a mostrarte el mundo desde arriba,
Voy a dotarte del arte de los pájaros.
Cójete a mis alas pero rápido,
Te invito a un vuelo rapaz, vuelo romántico
Para reconquistar lo que nos fue robado.
Volver a ver el mar sin basuras a su lado.

Elegiré, elegiremos volar, volar,
A hundir los pies, a hundir los pies en barros de vulgaridad.
Niños con máscaras de almas adultas,
Adultas almas que tras máscaras se ocultan.
Espíritus oscuros por la noche acechan,
Oscuros espíritus, ellos no cesan.
Fantasmal es su ejército y su caminar,
Sólo nos queda esperar la señal
Y arderá Babylonia tonight.
Arderán los impuros aún más
Que ni con sus escudos defenderse podrán.
Arderá Babylonia,
¡Arderá Babylonia tonight!

Elegiré, elegiremos volar, volar,
A hundir los pies, a hundir los pies en barros de vulgaridad.

I Will Choose

The path is rough and today it's hard to follow straight
The only thing that I can do is to have no secrets,
I walk step by step, that's how stories are written
And a microphone is not a crime, it's a way so they won't say a peep.

And now I feel your breath like a flame
I see my wound closing in your bed
Lie to me, pretending that nothing scares you.

(Do you know what?)
I will choose, we will choose to fly, to fly,
To sink our feet, to sink our feet in the mud of vulgarity.
I told the road, "Easy",
I don't want to see your end.
I'm going slowly, I'm going so easy
That even the hours are going backwards.
There are people in a hurry who step on us,
But I want to fly and escape like Icarus.
I'm going to show you the world from above,
I'm going to give you the art of the birds.
Hold on to my wings but quickly,
I invite you to a swift flight, a romantic flight,
To reconquer what was stolen from us.
To see the sea again without garbage beside it.

I will choose, we will choose to fly, to fly,
To sink our feet, to sink our feet in the mud of vulgarity.
Children with masks of adult souls,
Adult souls that hide behind masks.
Dark spirits lurk in the night,
Dark spirits, they never stop.
Their army and their walk are ghostly,
All that remains is to wait for the signal
And Babylon will burn tonight.
The impure will burn even more
Than even with their shields they will not be able to defend themselves.
Babylon will burn,
Babylon will burn tonight!

I will choose, we will choose to fly, to fly,
To sink our feet, to sink our feet in the mud of vulgarity.
