El Arrepentido (feat. Carlos Vives)

Today I'm going to tell the story
Of the repentant
Who, living in memory
Lost his way

He's the brother of the one who always
Walks in the future
Spends long seasons
Deaf, blind, and mute

Today I'm going to sing you the song
Of the repentant

If you jump, you live
But you have to jump inside
And there's no metro stop
That takes us to that place

Where fears
Blend with life
And there's no other way out
Than to meet again
With the present

The one who keeps track
Of our pending accounts
From the humblest to the most influential
The one who tells you, hey Melendi, behave
Let's go to Oviedo, the train is leaving us

Today I'm going to tell the story
Of the one who looks outside
Trying to find culprits
For his problems

The one who goes through life
Always with reason
And doesn't know that what he defends
Doesn't exist

Today I'm going to sing you the song
Of the repentant

If you jump, you live
But you have to jump inside
And there's no metro stop
That takes us to that place

Where fears
Blend with life
And there's no other way out
Than to meet again
With the present

Where ghosts flee
And superstitions drown
Where everyone dances to the rhythm
Of hearts

Where all fears, Carlos
Disappear
Where all sorrows go away
When they see me appear

If you jump, you live
But you have to jump inside
And there's no metro stop
That takes us to that place

Where fears
Blend with life
And there's no other way out
Than to meet again

Wake up, with every passing second
A door closes
In every lost gaze, a landscape dies
Every moment that flies doesn't return

Wake up, connect
Your body through your mind, the source
That moves even what you don't see
Because you think it's inert

And so you'll finally know what the planet screams
The time has come for us to look inside
Wake up
