Текст и перевод песни Proof - Nunca Vemos Nada

Nunca Vemos Nada

Yo me llamo Luis, pero nadie me dice así
Aquí eres quien tú quieres, nadie decide por ti
Me encontré por ahí a un cantautor de mi país
Ya no canta, solo autor. Lleva años sin escribir

Me encontré por allá a un viejo ex-militar
Que siente que ya no es nada, lleva un mes sin matar
Me-me encontré por azar a-a un borracho de bar
Hoy-hoy es solo un reverendo, lleva un tiempo sin tomar

Están todos confundidos, dijo ayer en el altar
Yo pienso que confundirse se parece a rezar
Son todo puntos de vista y ninguno quiere cambiar
Es un debate en el naufragio sobre cómo llegar

Estamos todos perdidos, ¿así quién nos va a encontrar?
Estamos todos jodidos buscando a quien contagiar
Mi barrio dice "peligro", mi puerta "no molestar"
Un día me perdí en un libro que se me ocurrió prestar

No sé en qué mochila estoy, tampoco cómo salirme
Me estoy gastando las hojas tan solo por divertirme
No sé en qué pupila estoy, tampoco cómo cumplirle
Nena, sé cómo escribir, pero no cómo escribirte

Si alguien dice la verdad no hay deidad que lo contradiga
Pero en esta ciudad no hay ni una verdad sin intriga
Y yo la verdad no creo ni lo que la iglesia me diga
Pero mi mamá si cree, entonces que Dios la bendiga

La batalla más dura no la tuve en una liga
La batalla más dura es contra el monstruo que me anida
Ellos están frenando en el género que les pidan
Y yo me sigo pasando, aunque a veces no tenga el "siga"

La batalla más dura no la tuve en una liga
La batalla más dura es contra el monstruo que me anida
Ellos están frenando en el género que les pidan
Y yo me sigo pasando, aunque a veces no tenga el "siga"

¿Pero qué le hicieron a la puerta de salida?
Me dijeron que aquí estaba y es la entrada a la cantina
Otro gato con nueve vidas, hablando con la bebida
Sobre cuántas van pérdidas, ¿son muertes o despedidas?

¿Son balas o papelinas las reinas de las esquinas?
Pues la droga y la violencia a ninguno lo discrimina
Mira, mira al policía que odiaba la cocaína
Que no es panadero y tiene los dedos llenos de harina

Clásico caso: a veces cree que escucha pasos
Y es solo la taquicardia de un corazón con retraso
Yo conozco a la droga, a veces platica conmigo
Y me ha traicionado menos veces que muchos de mis amigos

Nunca vemos nada, somos ciegos al volante
Unos quieren ser banqueros, pero nacieron cantantes
Otros quieren ser rateros, pero son representantes
Y bastantes presidentes nacieron para comediantes

No, no podemos ver lo que hay adelante
Entre tanta gente que cuenta cosas que no han visto antes
Entre serpientes violentas, acentos y consonantes
Es una jungla de letras hasta que la tinta aguante

Hasta que la gente se encuentre con el mosquete en la frente
Va a confiar en las mentiras que el comandante le cuente
La realidad trepidante, el ser humano indecente
Somos como cadáveres siguiendo la corriente

La batalla más dura no la tuve en una liga
La batalla más dura es contra el monstruo que me anida
Ellos están frenando en el género que les pidan
Y yo me sigo pasando, aunque a veces no tenga el "siga"

La batalla más dura no la tuve en una liga
La batalla más dura es contra el monstruo que me anida
Ellos están frenando en el género que les pidan
Y yo me sigo pasando, aunque a veces no tenga el "siga"

We Never See Anything

My name is Luis, but nobody calls me that
Here you are who you want to be, nobody decides for you
I ran into a singer-songwriter from my country
He doesn't sing anymore, just writes. He hasn't written in years

I ran into an old ex-military man over there
Who feels like he's nothing anymore, he hasn't killed in a month
I-I ran into a bar drunkard by chance
Now-now he's just a reverend, he hasn't had a drink in a while

They're all confused, he said yesterday at the altar
I think being confused is like praying
It's all points of view and nobody wants to change
It's a debate on the shipwreck about how to get there

We're all lost, so who's going to find us?
We're all screwed looking for someone to infect
My neighborhood says "danger", my door "do not disturb"
One day I got lost in a book that I decided to lend

I don't know what backpack I'm in, nor how to get out
I'm using up the pages just to have fun
I don't know what pupil I'm in, nor how to fulfill it
Baby, I know how to write, but I don't know how to write to you

If someone tells the truth, there is no deity to contradict them
But in this city there is not a single truth without intrigue
And I don't even believe what the church tells me
But my mom does, so God bless her

The toughest battle I didn't have in a league
The toughest battle is against the monster that nests in me
They're slowing down in whatever genre they're asked to
And I keep going, even though sometimes I don't have the "go ahead"

The toughest battle I didn't have in a league
The toughest battle is against the monster that nests in me
They're slowing down in whatever genre they're asked to
And I keep going, even though sometimes I don't have the "go ahead"

But what did they do to the exit door?
They told me it was here and it's the entrance to the canteen
Another cat with nine lives, talking to the drink
About how many are lost, are they deaths or goodbyes?

Are bullets or paper bags the queens of the corners?
Well, drugs and violence don't discriminate against anyone
Look, look at the cop who hated cocaine
Who's not a baker and has fingers full of flour

Classic case: sometimes he thinks he hears footsteps
And it's just the tachycardia of a delayed heart
I know drugs, sometimes they talk to me
And they have betrayed me fewer times than many of my friends

We never see anything, we are blind at the wheel
Some want to be bankers, but were born singers
Others want to be thieves, but they are representatives
And quite a few presidents were born to be comedians

No, we can't see what's ahead
Among so many people who tell things they haven't seen before
Among violent snakes, accents and consonants
It's a jungle of letters until the ink holds out

Until people find themselves with the musket to their foreheads
They will trust the lies that the commander tells them
The trepidatious reality, the indecent human being
We are like corpses following the current

The toughest battle I didn't have in a league
The toughest battle is against the monster that nests in me
They're slowing down in whatever genre they're asked to
And I keep going, even though sometimes I don't have the "go ahead"

The toughest battle I didn't have in a league
The toughest battle is against the monster that nests in me
They're slowing down in whatever genre they're asked to
And I keep going, even though sometimes I don't have the "go ahead"
