Y Mientras Tanto

Almost without realizing it, I grew up and became older
I kept postponing the future and owed you a song
Winter intensified, freezing life
The old didn't die, and the new didn't come to life

It was a time of feverish noise igniting screens
Our words lost their nuance fueling the flames
With a stone on our backs, heading aimlessly
Captives pedaling, dodging cars

And meanwhile, I
Searching for the song I still owe you
Playing hide and seek with fear
Trying to fulfill the promise
Of giving you a new world when you grow up

And meanwhile, you
Bringing some light into the maze
Knitting a blanket for the cold
Jumping like crazy in every puddle
Freeing myself from fear and its chains
Freeing myself from fear and its chains

Winter besieged Madrid and closed another cinema
A damn eviction, a feast for elegant vultures
In the betting houses, a child blasphemed
Borders were closing, squares were being occupied

Almost without realizing it, I wrote the pending story
And the story wasn't about me, it was about the urgent
About brave women illuminating this March
It spoke of people who don't give up

And meanwhile, I
Searching for the song I still owe you
Playing hide and seek with fear
Trying to fulfill the promise
Of giving you a new world when you grow up

And meanwhile, you
Bringing some light into the maze
Knitting a blanket for the cold
Jumping like crazy in every puddle
Freeing myself from fear and its chains
Freeing myself from fear and its chains
Freeing myself from fear and its chains
