"Liberate"

Si alguien te pregunta el porqué de la vida,
aunqué le contéstes no hay respuesta que sacíe.
La vida es piedra pesada en pendiente invisíble,
y aquél que mucho pregunta va buscando el abismo.
Porque quien mucho pregunta nada espera de si mismo.
La verdad de cada uno... en el silencio hecha raíces.

Si te están alimentando, y no escribes tus poemas,
si cantas otros cantos y nada cambias de ti mismo.
Si aceptas que te den y nada das en cambio,
y en la paz de tu casa, te vuelves sedentario.
Entonces te diré igual que a tantos otros,
que te estás preparando para la esclavitud.

Liberate, liberate, liberate...liberate

Si quieres que los hombres, se vuelvan hermanos,
diles que entre todos construyan una torre.
Y si quieres que se odien, arrójales dinero,
y es lo que nos hace, éste hermoso sistema.
Felicidad del hombre no,  no está en la libertad,
sino en reconocer su propio deber.

Preguntas cómo nace el gran escultor,
nace del ejemplo de los malos escultores.
Venera la memoria de aquellos que se fueron,
se haran más fuertes y más presentes 
que los mismos vivientes







                    "Make Yourself  Free"

If somebody asks you What is life?
even if you answer the answer will never be enough.
Life is like a heavy stone rolling down an invisible slope,
and whoever ask too much goes looking for the abyss.
Because whoever asks too much doesn't expect anything for himself.
The truth of each one... makes his roots in silence.

If you are being supported  and you don't write your own poems.
If you sing songs of others and nothing changes in yourself.
If you accept what is given to you and you give nothing in return,
and in the peace of your home you become sedentary,
then I will tell you as I would to many others,
that you are preparing yourself for slavery.

Free yourself, free yourself, free yourself.....free yourself.

If you want men to become brothers, 
tell them to build a tower together.
And if you want them to hate each other, throw them money.
That is what this beautiful system does to us.
The happiness of man is not about freedom,
but about recognizing his own obligations.

You ask, How a great sculptor is born?
He is born from the example of the bad sculptors.
Venerate the memory of those that left,
 then they will become stronger and more present
that the same ones who are alive.
