Pasajeros II

Once again, deafened like I'm lost in the fog
My friend solitude is right here with me
Is it that in the confusion I feel her drifting away
And I’m back with the friends who are no longer here?

I raise a glass today, to the friends who are no longer here
I raise a glass today, to the friends who are no longer here

Why are we left so alone in the midst of the crowd
That has gone insane and laughs in their wickedness?
Why are we still alive in the middle of this death
That reigns incandescent and wants to blind us?

I raise a glass today, to the friends who are no longer here
I raise a glass today, to the friends who are no longer here

When the melody ignites every last neuron in my brain
When your blood boils and flows like a volcano
When your hands tremble, celebrating another defeat
I’ll be thinking of you from some other place

I raise a glass today, to the friends who are no longer here
I raise a glass today, to the friends who are no longer here

When you get tired of hearing so many false prophets
When you’ve given up on what you can never find
When you don’t know what else to lie to your weary soul
I’ll be thinking of you from some other place

I raise a glass today, to the friends who are no longer here (for Adrián Ibaro)
I raise a glass today, to the friends who are no longer here (for Daniel, The Big Guy from Boca)
I raise a glass today, to the friends who are no longer here (for Ruli, for Squirrel, for the kids from Llavallol street)
I raise a glass today, to the friends who are no longer here (and for all those resting in Villegas Cemetery!)

I raise a glass today, to the friends who are no longer here (for the dead from Malvinas)
I raise a glass today, to the friends who are no longer here (for the 30,000 disappeared from the military dictatorship)
I raise a glass today, to the friends who are no longer here (for the kids from Cromañon)
I raise a glass today, to the friends who are no longer here (and for all the cases of trigger-happy cops!)

I raise a glass today, to the friends who are no longer here
I raise a glass today, to the friends who are no longer here
I raise a glass today, to the friends who are no longer here
I raise a glass today, to the friends who are no longer here
