Cuando Nada Tengas
Illapu
When You Have Nothing Left
if you feel it’s not worth going on
that the doors have closed behind you
and silence hides you from deciding
the heroic way to finally arrive.
If hitting rock bottom makes you smile
and you don’t want to share with anyone
if you wake up not knowing where to go
defeated without a fight.
It’s time to plant in your garden
the colors you want to wear
and fill your gray sky with stars
and see the sun rise at midnight.
When you think it’s all over for you
that there’s no kiss to make your heart race
you escape love to avoid the pain
and envy becomes flesh in your feelings.
When you look without seeing in the city
and living in solitude suffocates you
when you have nothing left to think about
and blame the system for your troubles.
If hitting rock bottom makes you smile
and you don’t want to share with anyone
if you wake up not knowing where to go
defeated without a fight.
It’s time to plant in your garden
the colors you want to wear
and fill your gray sky with stars
and see the sun rise at midnight.
