Un Hombre Más

The morning arrived, and my awakening came
A pink and clear sky, but it wasn't my place
I sat down slowly, saw a horizon with no end
First came hunger, then came the rest
I found others like me, and others even more
We fought over some grapes, that looked good
I learned to join others, to resist
I sought to become more skilled and survive

I cultivated the land, raised beasts, read the sun
I was the magician, I was the executioner, I was the Emperor
I wrote a thousand verses, made weapons, used them
And one night I set Rome on fire and got drunk

I betrayed my own, gave my life to believe
I was rich and soulless, I was the poorest and had faith
I was a thief, I was a beggar, I shared my drug
I lied to the Fatherland and for my Fatherland I killed

I cultivated the land, raised beasts, read the sun
I was the magician, I was the executioner, I was the Emperor
I wrote a thousand verses, made weapons, used them
And one night I set Rome on fire, and got drunk

Uh uh uh uh, I'm here, one more man
Uh uh uh uh, take from me, find your peace
I close the door now
Outside is the noise
I sit at the foot of the bed
Mother, can you see me?

I was cast aside, ignored, lost my mind
I have felt the fire, the fear, the hunger, humiliation
I was so powerful and blind, wasted the salt
I have seen the dead teaching to gallop

Uh uh uh uh, I'm here, one more man
Uh uh uh uh, take from me, find your peace

I cultivated the land, raised beasts, read the sun
I was the magician, I was the executioner, I was the Emperor
I wrote a thousand verses, made weapons, used them
And one night I set Rome on fire, and got drunk
And one night I set Rome on fire, and got drunk
